Directed by Gareth Edwards, the film is produced by Regency Enterprises, eOne Films, and New Regency, with distribution by 20th Century Studios. Greig Fraser and Oren Soffer handle the cinematography, while the music is composed by Hans Zimmer.

According to the official synopsis on IMDb by 20th Century Studios for The Creator:
“Amid a future war between the human race and the forces of artificial intelligence, Joshua, a hardened ex-special forces agent grieving the disappearance of his wife, is recruited to hunt down and kill the Creator, the elusive architect of advanced AI who has developed a mysterious weapon with the power to end the war-and mankind itself.”
The Creator has been filmed in several known locations around the globe
Rated PG-13 for violence, The Creator was filmed in diverse countries, including England and Thailand. The selection of these locations was driven by the need to portray the aftermath of war - a central theme of the movie. Principal photography commenced on January 17, 2022, and concluded on May 30, 2022.

Situated in Iver Heath, England, Pinewood Studios is a renowned British film and series production studio.
