How Video Games Helped Influence Westworld

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.
