‘Creation Stories’ Tells Raucous Real-Life Tale Of “Slightly Psychotic” Record Producer Who Launched Oasis & Other Bands — Tribeca Studio

, a fictionalized account of real-life Scottish musician and Creation Records founder Alan McGee, contains a slew of memorable lines of dialogue.“I’m a nihilist, man. There’s nothing to it.”And this line from McGee: “Dad was a talentless bastard. But he had one skill. He could smell money like a pig with truffles.

The film, directed by Nick Moran , explores how McGee flouted convention, embraced chaos and hard drugs, and flew by the seat of his pants as he launched bands like The Jesus and Mary Chain, Primal Scream and Oasis.“I can’t think of an American equivalent of Alan McGee really. He’s not Phil Spector. He’s just this insane, belligerent, slightly psychotic Scotsman who started an indie band, then an indie record label that became the biggest record label in the world,” Moran observed.

“Nick just set me loose and allowed me to play an amalgamation of every awful, drug-addicted trust fund would-be producer that I’ve ever met and we’ve ever met and I’ve ever watched the sun come up with over the Hollywood Hills, and there are quite a few of them,” said Isaacs. “As grotesque as the character is, we both, between us, know a lot of people exactly like that.”

Actress Suki Waterhouse joined the production in the role of Gemma, who soaks up wisdom from McGee as a young American journalist, then appears to eclipse him in importance after they meet up years later, following a decline in McGee’s fortunes. “My character kind of comes in as the eyes of the audience and is both kind of shocked and slightly taken in by him and also sees his heart,” Waterhouse said. She praised Bremner’s performance, commenting, “Ewen… always makes your heart melt slightly.”“It’s really about a man. There’s something universal about the journey of this man and where he comes from and what he comes to realize about himself,” Isaacs said. “I urge everyone to see the film because it is a real riot.”.
