1215: On Writing Sci-Fi: A Conversation with Lisa Joy

[@artwasemsr4950]

Westworld was one of my favorite shows to work on. I'll always remember the 2nd AD, "Background, release the chickens, and Action. A few moments later "Cut, retrieve the chickens." I wish there had been more about Lisa's production experience but I understand the purpose. Great interview.

I cannot BELIEVE, they cancelled Westworld. We need resolve! Mrs. Lisa JOY ( if you ever happen to read this which I do not believe but what do I know?), can you please produce a book or something so we, who were following for years throught every season and now hung up at that S4 cliffhanger, will finally have the resolve the show deserves.

Obviously not.

They canceled Westworld because Nolans left for Amazon's money instead of finishing that series.

Wow. I like her. I think my mother (who was a novelist) would have liked her. If a genie showed up on my doorstep to tell me that I would get my series concept THREE-FOUR ECHO NOVEMBER made, I know I would want Lisa Joy in charge of the writing.

AFF, stop scamming writers out of their hard-earned money. You’re no better than John Robert Powers. Parents shouldn’t pay agents and studios to have their kids audition for movies. No one should have to pay to compete in any competition, including writing. This is not about helping writers, it’s about taking from them, which they probably have little of anyway.

Lisa Joy is a nepotism failure. Every single project canceled, panned, and rewarded with even more advancement.

[@gussygoro2469]

Westworld: Abandoned and canceled without S5 outline. Zero awards. Reminiscence: Lost millions of, basically ALL its dollars. Zero awards. Peripheral: Shadow canceled by duped Amazon Execs. Zero awards.

So much anger! Jealous nobody nepotized you? Honestly i got no help either and I achieved nothing, but I did that myself. 😁 Come on, don't be so angry.

@@gussygoro2469 whoa! What u need awards for? What argument is this? A show is good f it receives a Lemmi for best mixture? What some hollywood ppo think is cool or not does not even tangent my butt. I love the westworld show for its presentation of ideas and the mood. Oh the mood! The darkness! Ok it has no end. Maybe better that way. LOST would maybe be better without an... EH no.
