‘The setup of that movie is pretty much the last few months’: ‘Rogue One’ director’s new sci-fi proving more timely than he could have imagined
If you wanted to release a movie about AI taking over the world, there probably hasn’t been a better time than now. The rise of AI has been a trope in cinema for some time, but it hasn’t been as big a current issue in real life as it is today. Now, the director of The Creator is discussing how the release of his AI apocalypse film has proven so timely.
You may remember Gareth Edwards as the director of one of Star Wars’ biggest critical film successes of the last decade, Rogue One. Now he is back in the sci-fi seat as he brings us The Creator, a story set in a future where AI has taken over. Though we may not yet have reached the stage where AI is ready to take over the world (we hope not at least) the battle against AI is already upon us in the form of the war being waged between creatives and studio executives.
The WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes set the stage for the first battle between humans and AI, as writers and actors push for control of how AI is used in the entertainment industry. The Creator is released in this ongoing battle, and Edwards opened up about how his film’s timely release mirrors this ongoing battle.
Reported on Deadline, in a Q&A during a sold-out screening of his film in an IMAX, Edwards joked,
“I have a trick with A.I. is to get the timing as a sweet spot window where it’s before the apocalypse and not after, which I think it’s in November — maybe December — and so, I think we got really lucky,”
He went on to talk about how he picked the date for his film’s story to take place, and how he thinks he may have chosen too far in the future given what is happening right now.
“The joke would be that when you write a film, especially a science fiction film, I try to avoid putting a date … at some point, you have to so, I picked 2070 Now I feel like an idiot because I should’ve gone for 2023 ’cause everything that’s been unfolding in the last few months is kind of scary and weird.”
What’s even funnier is that when Edwards pitched his story to studios they asked why a war between humans and AI was a good premise for the film, looking back today he can state, “The setup of that movie is pretty much the last few months.” If there is one thing he hopes for audiences to take away from the film, is not so much fear for AI and the future, but “Empathy for others. I think that’s a strong value that is very important.”
The Creator will be released in theatres on Sep. 29.

‘We saw that wasn’t his vibe at all’: A key casting in ‘Across the Spider-Verse’ changed the dynamic of a fan favorite Spider-Man
Animation is an interesting art form. Though characters are often conceived at the very beginning, they don’t fully materialize until a voice actor is brought on, with the direction they take bringing a new dimension to it, and sometimes changing it all together, and Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse provides one such example.
Into the Spider-Verse introduced us to several Spider-People, but Across the Spider-Verse went above and beyond that. In one scene, we witness more than 600 variants, Spider-Men, women, horses… there were a lot. One of the last characters that was worked on was actually one of the standouts of the film, and that was Hobart “Hobie” Brown, also known as Spider-Punk.
As per Variety, production designer Patrick O’Keefe and head of character Alan Hawkins left Spider-Punk until last, but it wasn’t until they matched the actor to the character that magic really started to happen. Hawkin’s explained that in the creation phase there was a lot of testing, and they were “educational in that they didn’t work, and we learned about how not to do them.”
Spider-Punk was even put on the shelf as they focused on others, as they just weren’t figuring out how to get him right. Kaluuya’s take on the character gave animators something fresh and new to work with, with Hawkins saying, “You’d think the punk character would be agitating, big and boisterous, but the more time we spent with him and saw reads from Daniel, we saw that wasn’t his vibe at all. He was cool and controlled.”
From this interpretation of the character came new ideas, such as slowing down the frame rate of the character, with different body parts even having different frame rates, his guitar being the slowest thing in the whole movie. They even made sure that the music was a huge part of the animation as well, as per O’Keefe.
“Music is everything. His sound waves become his power, so when he does a sonic boom, it blows everything apart — and we see that in his montage — it’s the emotional power of music. It’s such a different thing from the rest of the Spider-verse. It’s about being true to each character, and music is what he will use to set them free, it’s a form of expression.”
This cooler-than-ice character became one of the breakout favorites, with his delight in anarchy even driving the story forward, not bad for a character that was almost written out, eh? Sometimes, it just takes the right voice, the right take on a character to really bring things together, so thank god they brought Kaluuya on and we got the Spider-Punk we never knew we wanted.
