In 2010, writer and director Gareth Edwards blew away cinema-goers with his haunting science-fiction tale, Monsters. The film was made on a micro-budget, but managed to appear vastly more expensive. Edwards’ skills caught the eye of the studios and he was quickly hired to direct Godzilla. After that came Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. Then came a quiet period for Edwards, but now he has returned with another science-fiction epic, The Creator. Whereas Godzilla and Rogue One were both based on pre-existing properties, The Creator sees Edwards get back to his basics.
The story is original, free from the shackles of toxic fandoms, and has allowed Edwards to demonstrate the talent that audiences fell in love with during Monsters. Set in the near future of 2065, The Creator takes place amidst a future war between the human race and the forces of artificial intelligence. Ex-special forces agent Joshua Taylor (John David Washington) is pulled back into the fight after new information about his missing wife (Gemma Chan) comes to light.
Josh is recruited to hunt down and kill the Creator, the elusive architect of advanced AI who has developed a mysterious weapon with apocalyptic capabilities. His mission is thrown into turmoil however, when the identity of this architect is revealed to be that of a child. Though the premise sticks close to a generic strand of science-fiction story, Edwards goes hard on emotional content.
The Creator may have plenty of moments of action, but all of them are infused with a range of emotions, from grief and hatred, to forgiveness and melancholy. The impact of every action is felt, and has reason. This is not just carnage for the sake of spectacle.

Tyler, The Creator has said he’s tired of new music being released on Friday.The rapper spoke to journalist Narduwar about New Music Friday, suggesting that “we should put music out again on Tuesdays instead of Fridays”“I know people think because of the weekend they can listen and stuff, and streams go up,” he reasoned. “I think it’s a lot of passive listening at parties, or [when] people get the time to go to the gym, so they’re not really listening.”Tyler said one advantage to Tuesdays would be that people could listen to music more actively on the way to work or school: “You really have that hour or thirty minutes to really ‘dive in’ and really listen because you know once that’s over you’ve got to get to work.”In 2015, it was announced that new music would be released globally on Fridays.

It thunderstormed a lot,” Briganti, who joined “SNL” as a director in 2016, tells Variety.
Gareth Edwards burst onto the film scene with the fantastic Monsters back in 2010. The low-budget, high emotional tale of a couple connecting during an alien occupation caught the attention of the big studios. Edwards was quickly rushed into the corporation machine.

After that the filmmaker took a well earned break, but returns this week with new sci-fi action epic, The Creator. Starring John David Washington and Madeleine Yuna Voyles, The Creator is set amidst a future war between the human race and the forces of artificial intelligence.

Very rarely do iconic horror movies escape the remake treatment at some point in their franchise legacy. Such classics as The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, A Nightmare On Elm Street, Halloween and The Omen have all been treated (or fallen victim to, depending on your opinion) to a remake, but there are some that simply seem to be untouchable. The Exorcist, directed by the late great William Friedkin 50 years ago, is one such sacred text. However, just because everyone respects it, doesn’t mean you can’t franchise it, with The Exorcist inspiring a number of sequels, prequels and TV shows, stopping short of going for a full-blown remake.
Clayton Davis Senior Awards Editor Could A24 wrestle another Oscar contender into the mix while already having two strong candidates with “Past Lives” and “The Zone of Interest”? At the beginning of “The Iron Claw,” the narrator says the Von Erich family is cursed. Towards the latter half of the film, when the supposed curse has reared its ugly head, a man sitting directly in front of me with a woman begins to weep physically and audibly intensely. The woman grabbed his head to comfort him, but it was proving too much for the gentleman, who grabbed his crutches and walked out of the Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills.
