HBO doing an artificial intelligence Western produced by Jonathan Nolan, with Anthony Hopkins and Ed Harris starring? I’m totally in for the upcoming Westworld, which premieres on October 2nd.
Westworld is based on the 1973 movie of the same name, written and directed by Michael Crichton, which tells the tale of an adult amusement park where visitors can engage in various elements of the ‘Wild West’ theme enacted by humanoid robots – and by engage, I mean do everything from fighting to screwing the androids. Which sounds pretty much right up HBO’s alley…
The series is being brought to television by Jonathan Nolan (The Dark Knight Rises, Interstellar) and J.J. Abrams’ Bad Robot production company – the same pairing which produced Person of Interest.
