With two marquee names cast, the show will continue to center on Joel and Ellie, and is expected to retell the story of the first game, released in 2013. This may give the showrunners some creative leeway. Video games are sometimes described as telling the parts of a movie that would be skipped, like traveling a few miles to the destination just to get to the next story beat. A TV show isn't hamstrung by any obligation to gameplay. Luckily, the first game had plenty of time pass between its chapters, so there's ripe opportunity to tell stories the games didn't -- or couldn't.

People love forming theories about HBO's sci-fi show "Westworld," and many are so good at it that creators Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy are worried that they might spoil future storylines for other fans. However, there are a good number of theories as well that are wrong. Nolan told The Hollywood Reporter that the biggest misconception about the show is that "it takes place in the future." "We had some pretty frightening conversations about [artificial intelligence] with people who have a front-row seat to what's happening. We've all thought about this subject as science fiction for so long that it's hard to understand it's happening -- right now," he explained.

It looks like Apple's Siri is a huge fan of the HBO sci-fi show "Westworld." Evan Rachel Wood, who plays Dolores Abernathy in the show, had a little fun with Siri and asked the robotic personal assistant things about the Season 1 finale of "Westworld." The actress even posted screenshots of her conversations with Siri on her Twitter page. In one tweet, Siri quoted the typical response given by hosts whenever they are presented with images of the modern world: "It doesn't look like anything to me." When Wood turned the tables and used quotes from the show, Siri gave out hilarious and witty responses.
