Christopher Nolan's younger brother talks about what to expect in his big directorial debut in HBOs Westworld
Show runners talk about shifting consciousness in HBO's WESTWORLD
When the teaser trailer for HBO’s upcoming reinvention of Westworld dropped the other day it showed us that show runners Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy were intent on going in a very different direction to the 1973 movie on which the series is based. While the movie was a fairly standard man vs machine conflict set in the western theme park …
COMIC-CON: New WESTWORLD photos and teaser footage description
HBO’s upcoming TV-series remake of the classic 1973 sci-fi western Westworld is something I’m eagerly anticipating as it combines my favourite genre – sci-fi – with my childhood favourite – westerns. During the Person of Interest panel show runner of both Person of Interest and Westworld, Jonathan Nolan, surprised everyone by releasing some teaser footage. Unfortunately unlike some of the …
Writer/producers Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy talk HBO's WESTWORLD series
Despite its hush hush production, I’ve been keeping a close watch on HBO’s planned TV series remake/adaptation of Westworld, the classic 1973 sci-fi western written and directed by Michael Crichton.

And no, I …
Anthony Hopkins and more join HBO's WESTWORLD TV series remake
Ah, the good ol’ days of the Wild West, when men were men and cowboys were homicidal robots played by Yul Brenner. First announced at the end of last year, HBO’s planned TV reboot of Michael Crichton’s classic sci-fi western Westworld is being spearheaded by Jonathan “brother of Christoper” Nolan and, ironically, JJ Abrams’ Bad Robot Productions (BAD ROBOT, get it?), and …
Looks like JJ Abrams is headed off to WESTWORLD
Every night, I have nightmares. Kervyn inviting me to lunch, the more graphically suicidal scenes being put back into It’s a Wonderful Life and never winning that Oscar that I so rightly deserve for being a hack of a writer. But the worst nightmare is that of a cyborg cowboy coming after me with the fury of a forgotten MS …
