HBO's 'Westworld' Spoilers: Will Jonathan Nolan, Ed Harris Exploit Yul Brynner's Gunlinger "Experience?" [WATCH]
HBO has released another image from their TV remake of the late sci-fi author Michael Crichton's cult classic, Westworld. From the mind who brought audiences Person of Interest, will creator Jonathan Nolan exploit the Yul Brynner's Gunlinger role through Ed Harris' latest interpretation, The Man in Black?
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 run amok and start attacking the tourists.
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Nolan teases, "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 the new image, we see Ed Harris dressed up as the Man In Black. With no other name, we can safely assume the show has re-envisioned the Gunslinger role.
The official Twitter account has also posted a quote from Nolan as he adds, "People who come into this place are looking for the authentic experience."
Check out the first teaser here:
We mentioned before, an official still was released featuring actress Ingrid Bolso Berda as Armistice. Dressed up in her cowboy outfit. Armistice has facial scarring and tattoos on the side her face.
The star-studded cast includes Anthony Hopkins, Evan Rachel Wood, James Marsden, Thandie Newton, Jeffrey Wright, Miranda Otto, Rodrigo Santoro, Shannon Woodward, Angela Sarafyan, and Simon Quarterman.
Westworld will premiere on HBO sometime in 2015.
