After the director Gareth Edwards Done Star Wars: Rogue One, has exited the map. Thereafter she did not undertake any film projects for years. Then suddenly The creator appears and we find out that the director has gone out and made a sci-fi epic that looks amazing!
So what happened after Edwards did? Rogue One? Why did you take a long break from making films? You’d think that after an experience like that, you’d be primed and ready to move on to the next thing. Well, it turns out that the Rogue One the experience kind of killed his spirit and he needed to take a break from the Hollywood system.
During an interview with GamesRadar, the director shared what he was going through at the time that forced him to walk away, saying:
“I needed to get off the carousel, you know what I mean? In Hollywood you can get stuck on the hamster wheel, or whatever analogy you want to use. I just wanted to get off and take a break to take some time to think about the next thing.”
He went on to explain that while making these big-budget Hollywood movies, he found that more money didn’t necessarily give him freedom. He said:
“I have to make a very low-budget sci-fi movie with Monsters, and I realized there were serious benefits to not having money. It was kind of a shock to have all the money you could possibly want and still be limited. I had a feeling that if I could somehow take that big bag of money and send it back to me in time when I was making Monsters, the possibilities were endless, and so, in a weird way, I was trying to come up with that kind of scenario. I was as interested in the process of making the film as I was in the idea.”
Edward’s next film, The creator it is said to be “a bridge between his low-budget roots and major studio backing for Edwards, who have previously revealed how they used guerilla film methods to tell this story.” It seems that, with this film, he has found his happy place.
