HBO has released images from their upcoming TV remake of the late sci-fi author Michael Crichton's cult classic, Westworld. From the mind who brought audiences Person of Interest, creator Jonathan Nolan brings PHOTOS of James Marsden, Anthony Hopkins, and Ed Harris in character at SDCC 2015.
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 started attacking the tourists in the climatic final act.
As we 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."
According to the official HBO Twitter account, "#Westworld EP Jonathan Nolan just surprised #SDCC fans with footage from the new series, coming to #HBO in 2016. Follow to see new photos."
TV Line reports, actor Anthony Hopkins (The Silence of the Lambs), will play park boss Dr. Robert Ford. 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.
Because of their similar outfits, we can only assume Ed Harris' The Man In Black re-envisions the Gunslinger role, made famous by Yul Brynner (The Ten Commandments).
Westworld will premiere on HBO sometime in 2015.
