The Creator Ending and Deleted Scenes Explained by Gareth Edwards
53Editor's Note: The following contains spoilers for The Creator
Continuing our FYC screening series with Landmark Theatres, Collider had the opportunity to spend an evening with Gareth Edwards to pick his brain ahead of the Academy Awards. Edwards is a director who's proving to be a pioneer in modern day sci-fi with blockbusters like Godzilla (2014), Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, and now his Oscar-nominated feature, The Creator. The AI epic being nominated for Best Sound and Best Visual Effects is made all the more special considering Edwards' innovative approach.
After the screening, Edwards joined Collider's Steve Weintraub for an extended Q&A to discuss the co-writer and director's unusual filmmaking techniques. The Creator takes place in a not-too-distant future where AI and humans coexist, though this existence is not without its flaws. An ex-soldier, Joshua (John David Washington), is tasked with locating and destroying a weapon that has the potential to end mankind, but his mission is thwarted when he discovers that the weapon is a child (Madeleine Yuna Voyles). In addition to Washington and Voyles, The Creator also stars Gemma Chan, Allison Janney, Ken Watanabe, and Amar Chadha-Patel.

Find out how he worked alongside Industrial Light & Magic and his editing team to film all over the globe efficiently, creating scenes in days that could often take weeks. We learn his methods for saving on expensive film equipment, how to shoot stunning shots on an iPhone, and why these Academy Award nominations are extra special for the cast and crew of The Creator. Read on to find out Edwards' ending explanation, why the title had to change, why he dropped everything to work on the next Jurassic World film, and tons more.
