The Creator: BTS Featurette Explains The Role of A.I. In This World

The Creator director Gareth Edwards explains the role of A.I. in the world he is creating in a new behind-the-scenes featurette.

20th Century Studios has some fun movies coming out in September, and The Creator is one we've been looking forward to since we first learned about it back at CinemaCon. High-concept science fiction is already fantastic, but add in the director of the best Star Wars movie [don't @ me], and this looks like it could be a match made in Heaven. The fall season is usually filled with films that examine the very nature of humanity and what it means to be human. In a new featurette released by Empire, we hear from the cast and crew of The Creator talk about the role of A.I. in the world they are creating.

This film coming out at a time when two unions are on strike, and A.I. is a huge talking point regarding said strikes; the writers and actors cannot promote the film because they are fighting against A.I. taking over jobs that humans are already doing. The Creator might not do as well because they can't promote due to the strikes. Well, sometimes, the universe has a sense of humor.

Joshua and his team of elite operatives journey across enemy line 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.
