Rogue One: A Star Wars Story saapui maailmalle vuonna 2016, ja ohjaajana kunnostautui Gareth Edwards. Hänen seuraava elokuvansa on tekoälyä käsittelevä tieteiselokuva The Creator, ja tässä yhteydessä Edwards paljasti, että hänen oli pidettävä mittava tauko Rogue One: A Star Wars Storyn jälkeen.
Elokuvia voi tehdä monella tavalla, eikä Hollywoodin tyyli ole se ainoa oikea.
"I needed to get off the merry-go-round, do you know what I mean? In Hollywood, you can get stuck on the hamster wheel, or whatever analogy you want to use. I just wanted to get off and have a break to take some time thinking about the next thing.
I got to make a very low-budget science fiction film with Monsters, and I realized there were some serious advantages to having no money. It was kind of a shock to have all the money you could ever want, and still be limited. I felt like if I could somehow get that big bag of cash and send it back in time to me when I was making Monsters, the possibilities would have been infinite. And so, in a weird way, I was trying to find that kind of scenario again. I was as much interested in the process of how to make the film as I was the idea."
