Here at HeyUGuys we’re big fans of Gareth Edwards, and have been right from the very start of his career when he compelled audiences with the brilliantly resourceful and ambitious feature Monsters. This, we can thankfully say, is backed up, when the filmmaker himself recalls our support for the film, when we had the pleasure of speaking to him about his latest production, the equally as ambitious, equally as resourceful – but to be honest, even more striking sci-fi The Creator.
We discussed with Edwards the challenges in getting unique, original stories like this off the ground, while he also talks about his cast, and what attracted him to those who got involved. He speaks about filming in Thailand, and we also discuss his optimism for AI, which comes through in the movie as well.
Watch the full interview with Gareth Edwards here:
Synopsis
As a future war between the human race and artificial intelligence rages on, ex-special forces agent Joshua is recruited to hunt down and kill the Creator, the elusive architect of advanced AI. The Creator has developed a mysterious weapon that has the power to end the war and all of mankind. As Joshua and his team of elite operatives venture into enemy-occupied territory, they soon discover the world-ending weapon is actually an AI in the form of a young child.
The Creator is released in cinemas on September 28th
