"We wanted to feel like our story dropped into a totally different world," Nolan said. "Basically, we have a whole episode in Japanese."Nolan also discussed some of the inspirations behind Shogun World, which is confirmed to be based in the Edo period (1603-1867). According to Nolan, Kurosawa and Sonny Chiba films heavily influenced the design and feel of the new Season 2 park.
"In addition to Kurosawa films, which are plenty bloody, I grew up watching the Sonny Chiba films — those are the ones Tarantino is riffing on in his films with the superfluidity of gore and mayhem; this sense of an alternately brutal and beautiful world that raises the volume on what the guests might be looking for," Nolan said.Westworld Season 2 premieres on HBO on April 22 at 9pm PT/ET.
