Producer Jim Spencer shares details on the origins of The Creator and how an original sci-fi blockbuster was made for a modest budget.
Movies like The Creator are not typically made anymore. It’s an original sci-fi concept, a rarity in a world dominated by franchises and IP. The Creator is an ambitious sci-fi epic that plays like a tentpole film at a fraction of the price. Most films of this size and scale would cost north of $200 million. The Creator, however, carries a budget of $80 million. Yet, it’s a beautiful film with visuals that put the effects of big-budget projects to shame.
Before we get into the nuts and bolts of The Creator, I want to start with your relationship with Gareth. Do you remember the first time you met him and what that was like? You worked on a few TV movies together, which led to Monsters. When that came out and became a hit, and you saw it doing well with audiences and critics, did you start to think things were about to change?
I definitely think you did. Your movie costs less than $100 million, and it looks beautiful. Then you look at some of the $200 million blockbusters, and they’re garbage. They don’t look good whatsoever. Is that a testament to the people behind the scenes? Why does this movie look so great? The visuals are truly outstanding. I was reading that [The Creator] started out as a short film you made under the guise of location scouting. Could you share details about that short film and what went into it?
We then spoke to ILM [Industrial Light and Magic]. Is it going to be possible if we want people to be simulants, can we pick and choose someone? Then, are they going to be able to have this design effectively with a negative space in your head? And they could, so we’ve been incredibly fortunate in terms of the technology and the advances in technology now that you don’t need to have the course or the tracking. Metadata makes things a lot easier, but it is possible to do without it.
