The Creator is a new twist on both the concept of artificial intelligence and a machine vs. humans war. Gareth Edwards, whose credits include the Star Wars spin-off prequel Rogue One and the 2014 American reboot of Godzilla, will be participating in a new first-look event for his new film. Now is the chance to get a sneak peek at the AI-themed sci-fi war movie that stars John David Washington. In addition, Edwards will be holding a live interactive Q&A with the audience.
The live Q&A will be held at the AMC Century City IMAX Theatre on Tuesday, August 29, at 5:00 pm PT/8:00 pm ET. However, the screenings, which will feature a stream of the Q&A, is set to play at ten participating IMAX theatres in Los Angeles, New York, Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Toronto, Seattle, Washington D.C., and San Francisco, and all attendees will receive a commemorative lanyard and mini poster from the film. Tickets for the sneak peek are available on a first-come, first-served basis for free at the event’s website on the Gofobo network at TheCreatorIMAXLive.com
