The Story of The Creator

In 2021, it was announced that the filmmaker was surrounded by John David Washington, Allison Janney, Gemma Chan and Ken Watanabe, and that a contract has been signed with New Regency, and that’s it.

It is a new futuristic universe, in which humans have developed an artificial intelligence capable of protecting them from threats.

As humanity cohabits with seemingly sentient androids, the AI ​​turns against its creators and decides to literally atomize Los Angeles. Joshua, a former special forces agent, is responsible for finding and then eliminating The Creator, the person or entity behind the creation of this AI which now threatens all life on Earth. The latter succeeds, but finds himself face to an android with the appearance of a little girl. Then seems to start a real challenge on conscience and free will against the backdrop of artificial intelligence. A subject already widely explored, and in particular by Terminator, but who here seems to find new light.
