“What Morgan alludes to is human beings becoming, in a sense, the creator. Not in a traditional religious sense, but an idea that we have the capabilities to become our creator.

That is fascinating to me, and it feels like the next stage of evolution in the real world,” said Luke Scott.

The director’s father Ridley Scott is serving as producer with his Scott Free Productions partners Michael Schaefer and Elishia Holmes.
