If You Already Thought HBO’s Westworld Was Crazy, Then Wait Until You Learn These Mind-Blowing Facts

If the pilot seemed different than the rest of the episodes, there is a good reason for it. Christopher Nolan’s younger brother Jonathan Nolan directed the pilot for Westworld. The Dark Knight director has a long list of great films under his belt, and now he can add Westworld to his list.

Jonathan shares screenwriting credit with Christopher movies like The Dark Knight Rises, Prestige, Interstellar, and more. Jonathan has a hunch for dark themes, so this show made sense for him.
