Gareth Edwards takes fans behind the scenes in an exclusive clip from the sci-fi adventureThe Creator. The writer, director and producer ofThe Creatoris also joined by his talented star, John David Washington, whose sense of humor is on full display, as he jokingly says: “This is the worst experience of my life,” Washington laughs on the set. “I can’t wait to go home.” In actuality, the actor and son of Hollywood legend Denzel Washington was having the time of his life in the behind-the-scenes look. Check out the exclusive clip ahead ofThe Creator’srelease on digital, 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray below:
The synopsis forThe Creatorreads as follows:
“Amidst a future war between the human race and the forces of artificial intelligence, Joshua (John David Washington), a hardened ex-special forces agent grieving the disappearance of his wife (Gemma Chan), is recruited to hunt down and kill the Creator, the elusive architect of advanced AI who has developed a mysterious weapon with the power to end the war — and humankind.
Joshua and his team of elite operatives journey across enemy lines into the dark heart of AI-occupied territory, only to discover the world-ending weapon he’s been instructed to destroy is an AI in the form of a young child, in this epic sci-fi action thriller directed by Gareth Edwards (Rogue One: A Star Wars Story) from a screenplay by Edwards and Chris Weitz.”
The collaboration between Washington and Edwards was “one of the best experiences” the actor has ever been a part of. Washington praises his director’s filmmaking process, and he couldn’t speak more highly of the comradery and commitment of the crew that Edwards assembled to bring the science fiction story to life on the big screen. And now,The Creatoris coming home for the holidays.

The Creator
Audiences coming right out of movie theaters only ended up givingThe Creatora “B+” CinemaScore during the film’s theatrical run, but star John David Washington gave one of the best performances of his career in Gareth Edward’s latest venture.The Creator’sdigital release is scheduled for November 14. And now, writer/director/producerGareth Edwards' sci-fi adventure is also set to drop on 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray before the year is out. Check out the official announcement, courtesy of 20th Century Studios, below:
The 4K UHD version ofThe Creatorwill feature Dolby Atmos audio. And the primary bonus feature accompanyingThe Creator’shome release is the hour-long, behind-the-scenes look titledTrue Love: MakingThe Creator, which documents the director, actors and crew’s time on the expansive production.MovieWeb’s review ofThe Creatordiscusses the performance of Washington and gives Edward’s film a 3.5 out of 5 (very good) rating.
As good asThe Creatorturned out to be, the sci-fi adventure had a rough go of it at the box office. The film only managed to make $102.3 million worldwide (perBox Office Mojo), and $61.7 million of that total came from overseas. Unlike the other science fiction epic that Edwards is probably best known for,Rogue One: A Star Wars Story— fans and critics loved this one —The Creatorended up with mixed reactions.
The Creator’saudience score of 76% reflects the film’s struggles financially in cinemas, while the critics' varied reviews resulted in only a 66% rating on the ole Tomatometer. In the end,Gareth Edwards' bold vision forThe Creatorjust didn’t seem to find its place with moviegoers. But perhaps its at-home release will help the sci-fi tale find a bigger audience.
The Creatordrops on digital Tuesday, November 14 via all of the usual suspects, including Apple TV, Fandango/Vudu and Amazon Prime Video. And look for the film on 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray starting Tuesday, December 12.
