The Creator (2023) sci-fi movie trailer
The 20th Century Studios’ upcoming feature The Creator, AI takes on an even more dangerous form: technology fully capable of waging war against humanity. So, it’s up to one man (John David Washington), to find the mind behind the AI. Ahead of the film’s release on September 29, 20th Century Studios released the first teaser trailer.
The trailer for Gareth Edwards’ new film shows humanity being outsmarted by AI – and is released just as our overlords-to-be are rearing their terrifying heads
The trailer opens on a vast area surrounded by water and futuristic type buildings. A young child asks Washington’s character, Joshua, about heaven, and whether Joshua will ever go there. His answer, “it’s a peaceful place in the sky,” is starkly contrasted by a raging war, complete with explosions, gunfire, and an intense rendition of Aerosmith‘s “Dream On.” As the trailer continues, it reveals humanity has been at war with the AI for a decade, and there are no indicators of it slowing down. Eventually, though, Joshua pins down an important weapon, sending him into a crisis of conscience. Despite said weapon being AI, it seems the movie will also beg the question of just how capable AI is of humanity — and whether it should be destroyed.
The film was written, directed, and produced by Gareth Edwards, who devised the story and co-wrote the screenplay with Chris Weitz. Edwards produced alongside Kiri Hart, Jim Spencer, and Arnon Milchan. Executive producers include Yariv Milchan, Michael Schaefer, Natalie Lehmann, Nick Meyer, and Zev Foreman. Alongside Washington and Chan, the film stars Ken Watanabe, Sturgill Simpson, Allison Janney, and newcomer Madeleine Yuna Voyles.
