Editor – Scott Morris
THE CREATOR editor Scott Morris not only already had experience in the sci-fi genre, having worked on AD ASTRA (2019), but also experience working with co-editor Hank Corwin ACE. Alongside Oscar®-winning editor Joe Walker ACE, the three helped realize Gareth Edwards’ vision of a world where AI and humanity are at war; each racing to deploy their own solution to eliminate the threat of the another.
THE CREATOR…As a future war between the human race and artificial intelligence rages on, ex-special forces agent Joshua is recruited to hunt down and kill the Creator, the elusive architect of advanced AI. The Creator has developed a mysterious weapon that has the power to end the war and all of mankind. As Joshua and his team of elite operatives venture into enemy-occupied territory, they soon discover the world-ending weapon is actually an AI in the form of a young child.
SCOTT MORRIS
THE CREATOR sees Scott collaborating once again with editor Hank Corwin ACE. Scott co-edited Adam McKay’s DON’T LOOK UP (2021) with Hank and also assisted him on an episode of WINNING TIME: THE RISE OF THE LAKERS DYNASTY (2022). In addition to his work with Hank, Scott has worked as an assistant on THE LOST CITY OF Z (2016) and PAPILLON (2017), and edited AD ASTRA (2019) with editor Jon Axelrad ACE.
