HBO Orders Westworld To Series

We live in a time of unlikely projects being green lit. It's none the less amazing when something fairly obscure or just plain geek-cult-famous get's the thumbs up for film re-imagining/re-making/prequeling....and even more mind blowing when a network orders an entire season of something based on a killer concept from my past. Today, this has happened...and that image of a cowboy with a robot face forever etched into your brain will now have NEW LIFE....on HBO.

"WESTWORLD is a dark odyssey about the dawn of artificial consciousness and the future of sin." reads the logline for the series coming to HBO in 2015. The one hour drama stars Anthony Hopkins, Ed Harris, Evan Rachel Wood, James Marsden, Thandie Newton, Jeffrey Wright, Miranda Otto, Rodrigo Santoro, Shannon Woodward, Ingrid Bolsø Berdal, Angela Sarafyan, and Simon Quarterman. Executive Producer/Writer/Director takes the lead Jonathan Nolan for production companies Bad Robot Productions, Jerry Weintraub Productions and Kilter Films in association with Warner Bros. Television....which should assure you this one, at the very least, will look pretty damn cool!

Prepare...for robo-lensflare. (you knew I was going to say it.)

For now, all we have is this skint information and some teasers at the new Westworld Vine at https://vine.co/hbo. Stay tuned for more!
