“The Creator” is a new film by Gareth Edwards that is being released by 20th Century Studios on September 29, and it’s being hailed by critics as a sci-fi epic.
The Details
Set 10 years after a nuclear explosion levels Los Angeles, amid a future war between the human race and the forces of artificial intelligence, “The Creator,” tells the story of Joshua (John David Washington), a hardened ex-special forces agent grieving the disappearance of his wife Maya (Gemma Chan), who was expecting their child.
He is recruited to hunt down and kill the Creator, the elusive architect of advanced AI who has developed a mysterious weapon with the power to end the war—and mankind itself.
Joshua and his team of elite operatives journey across enemy lines, into the dark heart of AI-occupied territory…only to discover the world-ending weapon he’s been instructed to destroy is an AI in the form of a young child.
In addition to Washington and Chan, the film stars Ken Watanabe, Sturgill Simpson, Madeleine Yuna Voyles, and Allison Janney.
Directed by Gareth Edwards (“Rogue One: A Star Wars Story“), the film’s screenplay is by Edwards and Chris Weitz, from a story by Edwards.
Edwards, Kiri Hart, Jim Spencer, and Arnon Milchan are the producers, and Yariv Milchan, Michael Schaefer, Natalie Lehmann, Nick Meyer, and Zev Foreman are the executive producers.
