Rogue One is definitely one of my top 3 Star Wars films of all time. But after seeing The Creator, that made me tear up multiple times, I will have to say that would be my favorite Gareth Edwards’ film thus far! It really captured the emotion esp. with Hans Zimmer’s music. I sat in my car for an hour after the movie just processing what I saw last night. I haven’t done that with any sci-fi film. And that itself is telling. Kudos to Gareth, ILM, and the entire acting/production teams for making a unique film!
I have not watched The Creator (want to...though I might have to wait until physical media to see it)...but when I saw it was a Gareth Edwards film, I immediately thought about his first film Monsters, which was also a home video watch but I so wished I had seen it in a theater. Edwards has such a near perfect touch when it comes to presenting fantastical images in a realistic way and for me, Monsters is the best example of that approach. I am now rambling...anyway, I agree that Edwards is 3 for 3 in terms of crafting remarkable sci-fi storytelling.
thanks you for making me feel less guilt for having almost the exact same reaction to The creator. Except I had a 40 min walk home in silence after it. Needed the air. @@MatthewVlossak
I was crying by the end of The Creator. I get you had to cover Godzilla and Rogue One, but I really wished you had talked about Madeleine Yuna Voylrs. Her performance was the highlight of the film for me. I was so engaged with the movie from the first scene to the last. The balance of spectacle and mundane was so perfect that it felt both guerrilla film making and big screen popcorn feature. But wrapped in Eastern rather than Western sensibilities. Cant wait to watch this movie again.
I’ve never clicked on an interview so fast before! I wanted to hear about what Gareth Edwards had to say about his great Rogue One film and about his filmmaking career. Thank you, Josh.

I got emotional when he talks about how he went about watching those films as a kid and teenage years. Im about to turn 40, the dream is still in me hehe. Gonna watch this asap here in Argentina.
Saw the movie last night and The Creator is a visual masterpiece! I was absolutely blown away as I saw it in IMAX. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the film and can’t wait to see it again today!
I just watched your movie "The Creator" and I wanted to take a moment to tell you how much I enjoyed it. It was one of the best movies I've seen in a long time. I loved the set design, which was both futuristic and believable. The cinematography was stunning, and the lighting was used to great effect to create a sense of atmosphere and tension. The sound design was also excellent, and it really helped to immerse me in the film. The acting was superb. John David Washington was particularly impressive, and he brought a lot of depth and emotion to his character. The young actress who played the little girl was also very good, and their chemistry together was believable and touching. The story was gripping from beginning to end. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time, and I was really invested in the characters and their journey. The ending was thought-provoking and left me with a lot to think about. I also appreciated the film's exploration of the themes of artificial intelligence and the nature of consciousness. It was a complex and challenging topic, but it was handled in a way that was both thought-provoking and accessible. Overall, I thought "The Creator" was a masterpiece. It was a well-made, intelligent, and emotionally engaging film that I will definitely be watching again. Thank you for making such a great movie. I can't wait to see what you do next. Sincerely Sabri This tex is made by me and Ai
We've always appreciated Gareth's Godzilla! It's truly so well executed and you can feel his focus and soul in all of it. What an awesome career he's had, makes us so excited to see how he handles The Creator!
Love his work and will support any movie he will make. One thing, Gareth: Take care of your health. I know movie making is stressful but not looking very healthy there. I hope the creator will be a success. Its iconic that still the best SW Disney has produced, is Rogue one. Bar none. Its my fav after empire and a new hope. And that is a huge compliment.
A MUST WATCH (interview & film)… Gareth Edwards is brilliant: A fabulous filmmaker with an honest fan’s heart, both insightful & anecdotally interesting and turning out fabulous projects each time! I’d be every bit as thrilled with his validation, as he described being with Spielberg’s!! Please give us more! 🎉
This is an excellent interview - well researched and thoughtful questions expertly answered by one of the most genuine, & honest in the game! Props to you Josh.
I knew about Gareth when he was making VFX movies in his bedroom, I believe it was called Atilla The Hun. It encouraged me to go into VFX. Thanks Gareth.
That thing about rewatching films and them getting better every time: literally rewatched The Creator today only a few days after watching it for the first time
Huge appreciation for Gareth's work really. Really love Rogue One, best one since the original trilogy imo. Got a soft spot for his Godzilla 2014 though cardboard characters... Where did Gareth decided finally on Godzilla design?? Truly love that cgi one...🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you for this amazing discussion, I love hearing people who care about what they do talk about that passion. Can't wait to see The Creator tonight.
Gareth Edwards made one those "GOOD ONES" with this movie (THE CREATOR). My rating-9.0/10.🎉I loved it. The acting, story and special effects are all top tier. GO SEE IT ASAP!!
Ever since Monsters and watching the "making of" this guy is one of the premiere visionaries today. Need to watch Creator in the cinema this week. Rogue One is the only..and I mean only spinoff in the films / streaming from Disney - Lucasfilm that holds true to Star Wars. I mean when we went to see that in the theater it almost felt like the 7 yr old me watching the original again. I was caught way off guard.
Great interview once again! Although I didn’t connect with the story, the movie looked beautiful, and defo had that James Cameron feel! Amazing what he could do with just a 80 million budget!
Looking forward to The Creator. The trailer gives me the goosebumps ive not felt for a while. Rogue One goosebumps. Despite the talk of making original IP films, I think Gareth could be a good choice for Metal Gear Solid.
Can’t wait to see what this dude does next, whatever it is. But since I’m biased, I hope he’s get involved with the DCU! Make it just a one off like rogue one and do more original films 😬
Dang it. My lunch is over. I’ll finish after work. I can’t tell if this is a good interview or I’m just into what he’s saying. Got tickets for the weekend
Rogue One is one of favorite Star Wars movies, I really have to go and see The Creator. That mentioned, let's agree to disagree about Apocalypse Now being the greatest war movie it is a great movie but IMHO it is a road movie happening during the time of war.
The Creator shouldn’t be measured in 5-star reviews, or box office performance… this film will become a cult classic for sci-fi fans, but it will fundamentally a breaking point for filmmakers and VFX artists.
He’s definitely my second favorite Director of all time the first is obviously the Goat him self Spielberg but I gotta say this I seen Godzilla 2014 8 times in the theater and every time it was packed and I went in a span of 8 weeks and like I said every time it was packed and every time I Fucking cried at the end because Godzilla is one of my childhood hero’s and to see him actually done 100% accurate in Hollywood this time it makes me even more proud to say I was a die hard Godzilla fan because as a kid I was always getting made fun of for being a Godzilla fan and now there is more Godzilla fans then ever before so thanks Gareth for making us proud and the matrix simulation theory is crazy I don’t believe in it
Again, notice that 90% of the talk is about nostalgia and the "eew and awe" of meeting "filmmakers". Not about the craft. Filmmakers like Kubrick would care less. He would be in his house in London just prepping the next film, not going to hollywood parties.
movie flopped hard. nobody was interested in the movie. gareth edwards should be damn proud of the movie he made and the vision he was able to put to the screen. the story isn't groundbreaking by any means, but the visuals are a technical feat and wonder. it'll find an audience on video/streaming and gain cult status. people are gonna be shocked when they finally see it
Gareth Edwards is the textbook example of the problem we have in filmmakers today. He's a fanboy, not a filmmaker. He desperately tries to copy/paste what he saw in the past. Gareth is not a believer and the biggest thing is there's no acknowledgment of God (even if this film is called The Creator). No glory to God, the films will be pretty bland.

Rogue One, for sure! My favorite SW film of the Disney era.
Look at Gareth, man. So inspirational
What a class act this gentleman is 👏 The story about receiving the message from Peter Jackson is amazing.

nice! thanks!

Man I hope the Creator does well at the box office. Reviews have been really solid. Its an original sci-fi epic. Im going to see it next week
I agree, I really hope it does super well, to prove to the big wigs that taking a chance on an original is worth the investment.
It's a flop so far
He's just a down to earth good dude who is totally aware of how cool it is to do what he does. Not a bit of pretentiousness and it's wonderful.

I think Gareth Godzilla is the best directed one of the MonsterVerse.

Rogue One is my favorite Gareth and Star Wars film after the original three.

thanks for watching! agreed on Gareth!
Great interview. I truly believe he's one of the best visual directors of this generation.
thanks! and agreed!
Rogue One was the best Star Wars movie after Empire. Loved the night club sound effects
btw that long escalator ride was at the Scotiabank theatre in Toronto during TIFF 2010
This is an excellent interview - well researched and thoughtful questions expertly answered by one of the most genuine, & honest in the game! Props to you Josh.
Really appreciate that!
"You know I didn't do THE RAID, right?"🤣🤣
Fascinating interview! What a genuinely lovely guy and such an interesting filmmaker
Thanks for checking it out!
What an awesome guy. Love the intro too with his typically British cynicism in regards to having smoke blown up his arse. Great stuff.
I knew about Gareth when he was making VFX movies in his bedroom, I believe it was called Atilla The Hun. It encouraged me to go into VFX. Thanks Gareth.
How to get into the vfx industry?
That thing about rewatching films and them getting better every time: literally rewatched The Creator today only a few days after watching it for the first time
Huge appreciation for Gareth's work really. Really love Rogue One, best one since the original trilogy imo. Got a soft spot for his Godzilla 2014 though cardboard characters... Where did Gareth decided finally on Godzilla design?? Truly love that cgi one...🙏🏻🙏🏻
Gareth edwards is one of the very few directors that gives me hope on the future of the film industry.
Anyone else absolutely need Gareth to direct the Cyberpunk 2077 film... because The Creator reignited by passion in Sci-Fi.
Thank you for this amazing discussion, I love hearing people who care about what they do talk about that passion. Can't wait to see The Creator tonight.
True artist. Love him
His Jurassic park film will be amazing
A few weeks ago, I was looking through Tubi and found a movie of his I'd never seen or heard of called Monsters from 2010. I was pleasantly surprised.
Thanks for the interview!
for a guy with a short resume, he's got one helluva resume - not too many people get to play with _star wars_ and _godzilla_
We really need to give this guy more opportunities, his stuff has so much potential for greatness.
You definitely need to get Greig Fraser and Oren Soffer on the podcast please! 🤞🏻
What a good interview. Thank you!
Just saw The Creator.
Amazing! I CAN'T wait to see what else he does!
Gareth Edwards made one those "GOOD ONES" with this movie (THE CREATOR). My rating-9.0/10.🎉I loved it. The acting, story and special effects are all top tier. GO SEE IT ASAP!!

*Darth vader* NOOOOOO

I am so curious to know what the other star wars movie was 🧐
He made the only good Disney SW film and he's interesting to listen to .... I think I might check out The Creator on the big screen.
It’s visually stunning and creative
Can’t wait to see what this dude does next, whatever it is. But since I’m biased, I hope he’s get involved with the DCU! Make it just a one off like rogue one and do more original films 😬
I want him direct another Godzilla movie, still Godzilla 2014 is the best
31:52 OMG! wouldnt that be cool if Gareth Evans do a Star Wars movie? 🤯
Monsters is such an underrated movie.
Bring him back for the Monsterverse please 🙏
39:50
Love Nolan, but Gareth seems waaay more approachable
Rogue One was the best Star Wars movie besides Episode IV and V.
gareths legendary godzilla is still the best in the monsterverse in my opinion.
YES THE CREATOR SHOOT IN THAILAND SO COOL 😎🥤🍿🍿🍿💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥
Dang it. My lunch is over. I’ll finish after work. I can’t tell if this is a good interview or I’m just into what he’s saying. Got tickets for the weekend
The Creator, Monster and Godzilla.
11:09 Terminator Salvation: I don't exist
Rogue One is one of favorite Star Wars movies, I really have to go and see The Creator.

Very interesting that Lucasfilm offered him an idea that apparently isn't public knowledge yet.
He’s definitely my second favorite Director of all time the first is obviously the Goat him self Spielberg but I gotta say this I seen Godzilla 2014 8 times in the theater and every time it was packed and I went in a span of 8 weeks and like I said every time it was packed and every time I Fucking cried at the end because Godzilla is one of my childhood hero’s and to see him actually done 100% accurate in Hollywood this time it makes me even more proud to say I was a die hard Godzilla fan because as a kid I was always getting made fun of for being a Godzilla fan and now there is more Godzilla fans then ever before so thanks Gareth for making us proud and the matrix simulation theory is crazy I don’t believe in it
24:42-24:44 thank me later
Again, notice that 90% of the talk is about nostalgia and the "eew and awe" of meeting "filmmakers". Not about the craft. Filmmakers like Kubrick would care less. He would be in his house in London just prepping the next film, not going to hollywood parties.
Man, i dunno how he can not like Apocalypse Now on first viewing.
Will YT creators please stop re-using their hooks? Thanks
movie flopped hard. nobody was interested in the movie. gareth edwards should be damn proud of the movie he made and the vision he was able to put to the screen. the story isn't groundbreaking by any means, but the visuals are a technical feat and wonder. it'll find an audience on video/streaming and gain cult status. people are gonna be shocked when they finally see it
Let me just say Christopher Nolan is overrated
Terrible movies with terrible writing.
Gareth Edwards is the textbook example of the problem we have in filmmakers today. He's a fanboy, not a filmmaker. He desperately tries to copy/paste what he saw in the past. Gareth is not a believer and the biggest thing is there's no acknowledgment of God (even if this film is called The Creator). No glory to God, the films will be pretty bland.
