Gareth Edwards Aims to Transform Studio Filmmaking with 'The Creator'

Director Gareth Edwards, known for films like "Rogue One" and "Godzilla," discusses his new sci-fi epic "The Creator" and his desire to make studio movies on a blockbuster scale in a leaner, more efficient way. With a budget of $80 million, Edwards aimed to strip down the crew and production process to its essentials, injecting spontaneity and creative freedom into the filmmaking process. By working with cinematographers Greig Fraser and Oren Soffer and utilizing affordable, lightweight technology, Edwards sought to create a visually stunning film that feels grander than its budget would suggest. Despite the challenges of studio filmmaking, Edwards remains grateful for the opportunities and is excited about the possibility of making smaller-scale films like his debut feature "Monsters" again.
