Based on Michael Crichton’s 1973 film, HBO’s new series Westworld comes from executive producer J.J. Abrams and EPs/writers Jonathan Nolan (The Dark Knight trilogy, Person of Interest) and Lisa Joy (Pushing Daisies, Burn Notice). The series expands on the concept of Crichton’s film, about a theme park populated by robots that recreates the Wild West for guests, putting much more of a focus on the robots (or “Hosts” as they’re called here) and how they experience Westworld – while also depicting those behind the scenes who control Westworld (played by the likes of Anthony Hopkins and Jeffrey Wright, no less), along with those visiting the park.
I sat down with husband/wife duo Nolan and Joy to discuss their approach to Westworld. We spoke about what appealed to them about the concept, the choice to begin the series through the perspective of one of the Hosts (Evan Rachel Wood’s Dolores), how much they let their actors know ahead of time about their characters and much more.
