HBO's "Westworld", starring Anthony Hopkins/produced by J.J. Abrams

This looks like it has the potential to be seriously awesome.

 

I've been wanting to see modern HBO do sci-fi for a while now, so Westworld makes me happy.

 

HBO posted a new trailer for Westworld yesterday.

Wow, after seeing this I might just have to splurge and buy the season pass once it starts. This looks awesome!
Mature version of the trailer (there's only a couple additions and it's really nothing to noteworthy)

 

Looks pretty good.

Pity Michael Crichton isn't mentioned in the trailer.

 

Any mention of other "worlds"?

 

Unfortunately not yet, as far as I know. But what's there definitely looks worth checking out.

 

I vaguely remember the original movie and the only memories I have of Roman World are that it was some kind of uninterrupted toga party

 

Will add this to the list of HBO shows I buy on blu-ray.

 

This excerpt is from the original WestWorld. In this scene the visitors are watching an orientation video about Delos.

The remake will be broadcast on HBO.

Now use your imagination.

 

Just saw the trailer for Westworld and even though I've only seen the film once this looks to be doing it justice. I'll for sure check it out at some point.

 

That's what future seasons are for. Maybe they could do a different "world" each season.

 

HBO has released the poster.

 

I didn't realize the premiere was so close. Same day as Ash vs. Evil Dead.

 

Wow, I didn't either. I thought it wasn't until January or somewhere around there.

 

We've got two new previews and a behind the scenes featurette:

Chaos


An Entire World


Classic Western Meets Science Fiction Film: An Invitation to the Set (warning: some abstract male full nudity and female partial nudity)

 

Premieres the day before my birthday. Sweet.

 

I'm just wondering if prostitutes in a Wild West brothel would have actually kissed between them to titillate the clients, or if it is more a modern thing. Or if the cowboys needed to be titillated at all. You know, after they have gone for weeks without seeing a woman.

 

Back then probably not, but Westworld is modern or future (I don't know if we've actually heard when the show takes place) fantasy version of the Wild West, not the real one, so it doesn't really matter here.

Welcome to Westworld

 

Three clips have been posted to IGN.
Teddy gets propositioned
Meet Anthony Hopkins' character Dr. Robert Ford

"Robert Ford"? Is that an intentional reference to the "other" Robert Ford (the man who killed Jesse James)?
