20th Century Studios, New Regency and Entertainment One (via SFFGazette.com) have released the first clip from The Creator, a new sci-fi action thriller from Rogue One: A Star Wars Story director Gareth Edwards, starring Tenet's John David Washington.
The movie has been receiving quite a bit of positive buzz from those who have caught early screenings, but reviews are still embargoed for the time being.
In this sneak peek, Washington's ex-special forces agent, Joshua, discovers that the potentially catastrophic AI he's been tasked with destroying has taken the form of a young child. Upon relaying this information to his superior, he is given a kill order.
Of course, we already know he decides against this rather reprehensible course of action - but how long can he keep the girl safe when so many want her dead?
Check out the clip below, along with a new extended TV spot, behind-the-scenes featurette and some posters, and let us know if you plan on seeing The Creator on the big screen when it debuts in theaters later this month.
“Amidst a future war between the human race and the forces of artificial intelligence, Joshua (Washington), a hardened ex-special forces agent grieving the disappearance of his wife (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 mankind itself.
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.”
The Creator also stars Gemma Chan (Eternals), Ken Watanabe (Inception), Sturgill Simpson (Dog), newcomer Madeleine Yuna Voyles and Academy Award winner Allison Janney (I, Tonya), and is set to hit theaters on September 29.
