Tony Gilroy Refuses to Release Andor Scripts Due to Rise of AI

In a new interview with Collider’s Maggie Lovitt, Andor showrunner Tony Gilroy has spoken about his decision not to release the Andor Season 1 scripts because of the continual rise of AI, “Why help the ****ing robots anymore than you can?”

I know when Season 1 had finished airing, you mentioned that you were going to release the Season 1 scripts. Is that something that’s still possibly happening in the future? Because I know people still bring it up every so often, like, “When is it happening?”

GILROY: I wanted to do it. We put it together. It’s really cool. I’ve seen it, I loved it. AI is the reason we’re not. In the end, it would be 1,500 pages that came directly off this desk. I mean, terribly sadly, it’s just too much of an X-ray and too easily absorbed. Why help the fucking robots anymore than you can? So, it was an ego thing. It was vanity that makes you want to do it, and the downside is real. So, vanity loses.

Andor Season 2 streams exclusively on Disney+ on April 22nd in North America and April 23rd in the UK & Europe.
