So you're saying I'm just a copy of myself? I've been plagiarized? Never say the universe doesn't bend towards justice.

The writer-director-producer on his upcoming Amazon sci-fi series, how he wants to go back to 'Westworld' and the lessons of Peak TV: "If th

Is there any possibility that Westworld‘s original planned ending will be dramatized in any form — whether as a graphic novel or a movie or anything? Do you still have hope for that?

Yes, 100 percent. We’re completionists. It took me eight years and a change of director to get Interstellar made. We’d like to finish the story we started.

How much did Warners taking the show off Max bother you? To not just cancel it but to remove it from the streaming service.

Look, my career began on CBS [with Person of Interest]. The amount of people you can reach with a free, ad-supported service [like Roku and Tubi, which had Westworld last year] is vastly higher than with a subscription service. That part didn’t bother me. But in terms of finishing the story, you understand that you get the time that you get, sometimes it’s as much as you want, sometimes it’s not. I’m so fucking proud of what we made. It was an extraordinary experience. I think it would be a mistake to look back and only feel regret [over how it ended]. But there’s still very much a desire to finish it.

Finally, is there anything from the experience with The Peripheral or Westworld … I don’t want to say “lesson learned,” but anything that you’re now applying to your career choices, or to Fallout in particular, having gone through those experiences?

You’re always learning. So much with shows and movies is economics. Batman Begins was a hit, but it wasn’t a huge hit. The excitement was, “Can we go again?” You just want a chance to go again. You put everything you have into one movie or one season. If you get a chance to go again, then great. If the “lesson” was to ease back on the complexity or the weirdness of something, I don’t want to learn that lesson.

Ah yes. Your mysterious backstory. It's the reason for my visit. Do you know why it's a mystery, Teddy? Because we never bothered to give you one, just a formless guilt you never atoned for.

HBO Cancels ‘Westworld’ in Shock Decision

The acclaimed sci-fi drama is considered finished after its recent fourth season, despite creators hoping for a fifth season to wrap things up.

The network has decided to cancel the sci-fi drama after its recent fourth season.

It’s an unexpected fate for a series that was once considered one of HBO’s biggest tentpoles — an acclaimed mystery box drama that racked up 54 Emmy award nominations (including a supporting actress win for Thandiwe Newton).

Last month, co-creator Jonathan Nolan said in an interview that he hoped HBO would give the series a fifth season to wrap up the show’s ambitious story, which has chronicled a robot uprising that changed the fate of humanity. “We always planned for a fifth and final season,” Nolan said. “We are still in conversations with the network. We very much hope to make them.” Co-creator Lisa Joy likewise said the series has always been working towards a specific ending: “Jonah and I have always had an ending in mind that we hope to reach. We have not quite reached it yet.”
