Gareth Edwards, the creator of “The Creator,” discusses the release timing of his film in relation to, among other things, the intensifying rights conflict between AI and SAG-AFTRA or WGA members. Edwards jokes about choosing a specific time before the film’s apocalyptic setting, noting that he chose the year 2070. However, recent events have made him regret not choosing 2023, since actors and writers have gone on strike this summer, in part, to seek protection from AI.
The film’s backstory was inspired by real-life events from the last few months. Edwards describes the film as a combination of “Blade Runner” and “Apocalypse Now.” He hopes the audience will gain empathy for others through the film. He explains that AI is depicted in the film as something different and unwanted, but also fascinating.
