The creator marks the return of Gareth Edwards
The creator is the new film by Gareth Edwards, seven years after directing Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016). The director stays with this film in the science fiction genre by presenting a futuristic world in which robots have become extremely developed. Machines now appear capable of feeling and acting like real humans. But after an attack on Los Angeles, America declares war on all these artificial intelligences that find refuge on the Asian continent.
The hero of the film, Joshua, after losing his wife, accepts one last mission by going to an enemy base where there is a weapon capable of ending the war. There he discovers a robot child who could lead him to his wife, who isn’t dead after all.
The Creator: the great return of Gareth Edwards, 7 years after Rogue One
The creator East an effective film whose primary quality is aesthetics. The director wisely opted for natural settings rather than shooting in a studio with green backdrops. A desire on his part that arises from his experience onwards his movie Star Warsas he explained to us in an interview.
A date that is ultimately far from correct
While The creator it’s out now and Gareth Edwards can’t touch it anymore, the director admitted he did it a great regret regarding his work. This is what she revealed American daily cinema explaining that he had made, in his opinion, a mistake at the level of the weather where the feature film is set.
Indeed, the film takes place in 2070, but for a long time Gareth Edwards refused to give a precise date. Because from that moment on “mistakes” will be inevitable.
When you write a film, especially a science fiction film, you avoid putting a date on it. I didn’t want to write a date for the film, because even Kubrick had made a mistake. I was like, “Don’t write a date,” but at some point you have to.
If you regret this date so much, it’s because the director believes in it the evolution of artificial intelligence is already well underway. In fact, today we are wondering a lot about this topic with the arrival, among others, of ChatGPT. This is also one of the elements on which the strike of Hollywood actors and actresses is related – as well as that of screenwriters which has ended.
I did some calculations and chose 2070. Now I feel like an idiot because I should have chosen 2023. Everything that has happened in the last few months or years is quite strange and scary, especially if we show it now.
Finally, according to Gareth Edwards, while he was writing the script for The creator, there was no such concern about AIs. His discussions with the studio then focused on the reasons for a war against it. But what’s more worrying is that the director believes that the way things play out in the film is “more or less the same as what has happened in recent months“.
