Evan Rachel Wood on Fallon talking about WW:

 

[shogun]

Still weird to me that she dated marilyn manson for a few years and was engaged to him. Same thing applies to Stoya bae. :x

 

[Master Zik]

Women are attracted to ppl like him. Same thing with weird figures like Prince.

 

[gentrification]

Manson had rose McGowan too

 

[dhart48]

and dita von teese

dude has a nice catalog, in a weird way it lets me know they freaks too

 

[deleted]

Manson actually seems like a fairly well adjusted guy to me

In interviews anyway

 

[Ja's 2¢]

Yeah it's probably just his stage persona.

Watched the movie tonight for the first time. Good watch for those of you who haven't seen it.

Love the Bone avy.

Just saw episode 4. I think what one of you said on the past page about the park using the behavior of guests to profile them could be an interesting twist. I don't think it's a minority report thing but maybe they use it to gather information on their personality and then sell it to other businesspeople or something.

 

[shogun]

That'd be interesting. Like cookies on your web browser.

Yea the idea just came to me because of what was said in the first episode when the boss lady said the board has a different purpose/agenda for the park. That also is another aspect that can happen selling it to a data mining agency for marketing research.

Or delos is just stockpiling the worlds largest blackmail bank since these guests are mostly the wealthy/position of power people of the world.

I had to stop reading those. I'm just going to watch and enjoy the show.

some of those theories are too wild. This old lady I work with is convinced that WW is set on another planet which is why its like 40k a day

^^^ The other planet thing doesn't actually seem that far out there to me. If the show is set in a time when AI is so advanced you can tell them from humans, its very plausible they have space travel and colonization down too. Plus, in that interview someone posted of ERW on Fallon, I think she said something about the WW park being "continent sized." Don't know if there's room for that on Earth.

Also, if it was on earth how would there be no other living things besides flies?

 

[shogun]

They probably killed any other animal / insect. Are they on a huge soundstage or actually out in the wilderness somewhere?

posted couple of pages back:

The Nolans respond to the fan theory that WW's location is off planet:

Is Westworld on another planet? Westworld showrunners Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy Nolan were asked about this popular fan theory, and Jonath recalls calling Westworld executive producer JJ Abrams after watching the original film:

In my memory I was conflated that hovercraft sequence when they arrive in the park with the space-hotel with 2001. And I said to J.J., “Is that park even on this planet?” The important thing for us was, when you come to the series you have no idea where you are. Disneyland is in a parking lot in Anaheim, but it’s spectacular and you forget where you are when you’re inside.

In regards to the computer terminals where the Delos staff communicate to their loved ones back home, Joy says:

Regardless of where they are, the park is very, very vast, and you don’t rotate home often. You don’t have open communication where you can just pick up a phone. Even senior people have to go to the coms room – because [the park is] protecting their intellectual property. We’re hoping to paint a portrait of the culture of the corporation.

Nolan (who was a showrunner on Person of Interest, a series about a computer system that could analyze all forms of public and private data to predict the future) seems to be very interested in the aspect of big brother looking in on our communications. As for how it relates to Westworld, he says the Delos corporation wants to protect its intellectual property and the privacy of the park’s guests:

In Westworld, the value of the park is all in its intellectual property, it’s all in the code. So regardless of the park’s location, they would be extremely careful with that code and making sure its virtually impossible to smuggle it out of the park. And there’s the privacy of the guests – you’re not going to have a good time in Westworld if somebody is Instagramming your activities. I’m amazed at Las Vegas has survived the Instagram age. In episode 2, when the guests come in, we don’t see this, but we assume these guys have cell phones that they’re not allowed to bring in the park. We very much think this is a path where culture may be going – that we’ll get over-exposed and sick of the interconnectedness of our lives that we’ll hunger for places [that offer disconnected privacy]. We’ll hunger for a moment where we can go back toward having some privacy.

Of course, this is a long way of not answering the question directly. Is Westworld located on another planet? We will find out the location of Westworld by the end of the first season. Jonathan says:

By the end of the first season, if you’re paying close attention, you will know where it is. [There’s some offline chat.] Lisa disagrees with that, by the way.

Or maybe we won ‘t. While we don’t get any definites from the above quotes, it seems clear to me that the location of Westworld is a mystery that the Nolans wanted to explore with the series. While some of these fan theories might be reaching, this is a question that Jonathan and Lisa Joy wanted the audience to be asking. And if Westworld isn’t based on another planet, then maybe it’s based on an Earth that looks very different than it looks today.
