At Some Point, You Can't Take A

I've Always Believed That A Good Twist Is One That, When It Is Presented To The Audience, Half Of Them Say, 'i Saw That Coming.' And Half Of Them Are Completely And Totally Shocked. Because If You Don't Have The Half That Saw It Coming, Then It Wasn't Fair: You Never Gave The Audience A Chance To Guess It.

I Feel Like The Big Twist Shows Are Now Off The Table. I Think Westworld Was Probably The Last One To Trojan Horse This Idea Of The Young Man In Black. They Were Doing Non-linear Storytelling, But Disguising It. Jonah Nolan And Lisa Joy Have Spoken Openly About How They Just Didn't Think People Were Going To Figure It Out That Fast.

I Think The Idea That Television Has Evolved To This Place Of Real Thematic Richness And The Fact That You No Longer Have To Get 10 Million People To Watch Your Show In Order To Propagate Its Survival Are The Best Things That Have Ever Happened To Storytelling In This Medium.

Part Of The Fun Of The Movie Is Understanding Exactly Why We Called It Prometheus. And Also, It Sounds Really Pretentious, Like Inception, So We Were Just Like, "yeah, That Makes The Movie Sound Really Smart!" It's So Much Better Then My Original Title, Explosion. Well, There Might Be An Explosion In The Movie.

One Person's Magical Thinking Is Another Person's Cynicism.
