Replying to the post "We are Westworld Co-Creators/Executive Producers/Directors Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy, Ask Us Anything!".

> We thought about this long and hard, and came to a difficult (and potentially highly controversial) decision.   If you guys agree, we're going to post a video that lays out the plot (and twists and turns) of season 2.  Everything.  The whole sordid thing.  Up front.   That way the members of the community here who want the season spoiled for them can watch ahead, and then protect the rest of the community, and help to distinguish between what's 'theory' and what's spoiler.

> It's a new age, and a new world in terms of the relationship between the folks making shows and the community watching them.  And trust is a big part of that. We've made our cast part of this decision, and they're fully supportive.  We're so excited to be in this with you guys together.  So if this post reaches a 1000 upvotes we'll deliver the goods.

> All right guys.  We left this in your hands.  Some may feel this is a drastic step, but I, for one, love and trust this community.  Here's the [link](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W7oeROkyPgs)

Context: The video was a Rickroll: Evan Rachel Wood singing "Never Gonna Give You Up" at the piano. (https://www.theringer.com/tv/2018/4/10/17219578/westworld-season-two-spoiler-prank-jonathan-nolan-lisa-joy)

Replying to a redditor:

> He does monitor Reddit. He did a Person of Interest one a few years ago, so maybe he will be down to a WestWorld one. Ill reach out to his team and see if they can make him aware we want one. POI…

> "He does monitor Reddit."

> No I don't.

### u/jonathannolan in r/movies, Oct 5, 2015 · Behind the scenes

Replying to a redditor:

> Damn the movie was already awesome but I wouldn't have minded having that little speech in the movie. That being said, it was the perfect teaser. Built interest without giving away too much.

> thanks dude.  I wrote this in a couple hours in my brother's trailer while he was shooting the scene in which Bruce is arrested for stealing Wayne corp supplies on his 'journey.'  Remains some of my favorite writing from these films.  Was written specifically for the trailer.  Wouldn't have worked in the film.
