While the film has been years in the making, fans have noted that the adventure leans heavily into the world of A.I., which is one of the most talked-about topics in the creative industry currently. Edwards previously addressed the ways in which his films tackles these ideas.
“The Creator has a double meaning because on one side it means the person who is building A.I.,” Edwards shared with ComicBook.com at San Diego Comic-Con. “In the eyes of the West in our movie, [A.I.] is public enemy number one … It’s like Osama bin Laden, ‘We want them dead. They’re doing this terrible thing.’ On the other side of the fence, from the A.I.’s point of view and the people who live in Asia, the Creator is like God, is creating all these beautiful people. And so, it has this double meaning.”
The Creator lands in theaters on September 29th.
