HBO’s Westworld Halts Production

HBO has temporarily halted production on its long-gestating television adaptation of Westworld, claiming that writers/executive producers Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy need more time to fine tune the final four scripts for the series’ first season.

The project is closing down for two months so that Nolan and Joy can catch up on the final four scripts. Westworld was first ordered to series in November 2014, and fans got a first look video from the series back in August.

With its Back To The Future vibe (sans the comedy and whimsy), this Stephen King/J.J.

Viewers are treated to a run down of the entirety of the X-Files series, which means both fans and non-fans can jump right in on episode one without loosing out too much on the overall gist of the story. Of course, nothing wrong with re-watching the series (It’s on Netflix).

The Jack Bauer Power Hour is back! Minus the Jack Bauer!

That’s right boys and girls, it looks like Fox is getting back on the 24 bandwagon with the new 24: Legacy series just being ordered to pilot.
