Gareth Edwards, the director behind 2014's "Godzilla" and 2016's "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story," has not had a movie in theaters in seven years. That is downright insane, given his success in the blockbuster space, from starting the MonsterVerse to creating a $1 billion hit in the "Star Wars" galaxy. But Edwards is finally back with "The Creator," an original sci-fi film that is due to arrive in the fall. While it looks just as expensive as his previous films, the filmmaker actually got creative and managed to make a movie that looks like $300 million for less than a third of the price.
IMAX recently screened footage from "The Creator" during a preview event, and /Film's Vanessa Armstrong was in attendance. During a Q&a session, Edwards discussed how he managed to make such a sprawling, massive-scale sci-fi movie for far less than the Hollywood average. In this case, the budget was around $80 million.
