Gareth Edwards may have become a household name after his work directing Godzilla and Rogue One, but it was his incredible first feature Monsters that helped influence his new movie The Creator. Edwards explains all in the new issue of Total Film magazine, which is out on newsstands on Thursday, July 20.
That 2010 movie, which follows two characters attempting to travel through a monster-infected zone in Mexico, was shot for just $500,000 and had a crew of only seven people (including Edwards and lead Scoot McNairy and Whitney Able). Despite The Creator’s budget being closer to the $86m mark, Edwards tells Total Film he remains very influenced by this directing style.
