HBO's 'Westworld' Spoilers: Anthony Hopkins Teases Dr. Robert Ford Role In Fall Premiere Date!

HBO has put a halt to their upcoming TV remake of the late sci-fi author Michael Crichton's cult classic, Westworld. In the upcoming pilot, actor Anthony Hopkins teases his role as Dr. Robert Ford in the 2016 fall premiere?

As we previously mentioned, the 1970s western/thriller centered around an amusement park and its guests. A precursor to Jurassic Park, as writer/director, Crichton imagined three worlds - the West World, Medieval World, and Roman World - inhabited by human-like androids. Rebelling against their programming, the robots start to run amok and commence attacking the tourists in the climatic final act.

We also mentioned before, Nolan had teased, "I would say, picture your neurosis. Picture the things that keep you up at night-human behavior, artificial intelligence-any of those things that trouble you, worry you. That is exactly what the show is about. We are hoping to exploit all of those anxieties...We're incredibly excited about it, both on the narrative level and on a cinematic level."

In an interview with Variety, the Silence of the Lambs actor teases, "I've enjoyed it. Do you remember "Jurassic Park," the Richard Attenborough guy? I play that kind of man. He runs Westworld. What's interesting about doing TV this way is I never know where the story is going. I play Dr. Ford who's built Westworld and all these robots. He has total control over everything. But I'm not sure which way it's going. I'm just a man obsessed. I don't play evil parts."

Hopkins adds, "I'm doing a show for HBO called "Westworld," and I'm enjoying the HBO work."
