Loved the original when I was younger, dad showed it to me in highschool. Very cool concept that could use a better movie.

 

[Aselith]

That looks really great

 

[Cornballer]

Lookin' good.

I took the liberty of adding most of the news from the previous thread to the OP here.

*two thumbs way up*

 

[Discotheque]

Ed Harris is Yul Brenner, then?

i always thought daniel craig would be a great fit for that (aesthetically that's all i thought of when i saw that basura cowboys and aliens) but ed harris is a great choice too. the cast in this show is stacked.

 

[Xamdou]

Looks great! Looking forward to this.

 

[lamaroo]

Wow



He's in this?! IMDB shows nothing.

Thought that was him at 14 seconds, guess not?

My bad.

 

[MichaelFassbender]

Everyone should watch the original film in anticipation of this. It is that good.

 

[ninjabat]

Looks hot. Also that logo is great for a t-shirt.

 

[Death Metalist]

That looks absolutely amazing, holy shit.

I might just go watch the film soon. It's good, right?

Really good. It's the original Terminator.

 

[squidyj]

I"m still pissed about Utopia but this looks good. Don't let me down again HBO.

 

[Akahige]

Looks very good.

Ed Harris in the Yul Brynner role will be great, the man has a look of a person who spent a 1,000 years starring in the sun.

I'll have to show my Dad this sometime, I remember when I watched the movie with him.

 

[Frog-fu]

Looks great. I'm in.

 

[border]

Looks awesome, is this HBO's first Sci fi show?

Perversions of Science was a sci-fi anthology show in the vein of Tales from the Crypt. It only ran 1 season in the 90's.

 

[Steelyuhas]

Had and eye on his for a while and the footage looks great. Way hyped!

 

[reKon]

my body is ready

 

[JCreasy]

OMFG and HELL YES

I"m still pissed about Utopia but this looks good.

Me too.

 

[Spat_triate]

This looks great!

 

[Currygan]

that's one big ass amusement park. premise is cool, movie was good, hopefully this follows suit

 

[border]

Is it possible to enjoy the original film, if I were to watch it for the first time today? I am generally pretty skeptical about 70's science fiction aside from Star Wars/Trek. I saw Logan's Run and thought it was a bit too campy and self-serious.

 

[Ashok]

I've never considered myself in w/e demographic HBO targets and watch literally nothing on their network, but I'd considering buying HBO for this. That was one intriguing trailer.

there's very few sci-fi in Westworld (probably due to the budget being not very high), it's really just a western with a damn intriguing premise and solid execution. Soundtrack is a bit dated, but who cares

 

[DirtyManos]

So in.

 

[Rastafarian42]

Great teaser definitely have my eye on this.

Without a doubt. It's a great movie that even holds up today.

 

[ryseing]

This shot is beautiful.

Ex Machina all over again.

All my worries about HBO's drama slate are significantly lessened.

 

[TWrecks310]

I will watch the hell out of this.

Between this and Vinyl those who said HBO is doomed need to eat some crow.

 

[geomon]

I need this now.

 

[Vire]

Please HBO, redeem yourself...

 

[hateradio]

Not really a great teaser, I thought.

Only one or two shots made me interested in the show.

 

[Deleted member 80556]

Jonathan Nolan is all I need.

But seriously, this looks killer, I can't imagine a better cast for this.

 

[Robot Pants]

OH fuck yes I'm in.

 

[More_Badass]

Very excited for this. Looks real good, I just hope Ed Harris has got that stare down.

Does the movie hold up? Never saw it

That icy-as-fuck stare got me intrigued.

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

This sounds amazing.

 

[More_Badass]

Wow, ok, was checking out some screenshots of the original movie

This

is way more terrifying than this

There's something really creepy and unnerving about the faceless robot compared to the Terminator-style skull. Something very body horror about seeing wires and circuits where a face should be compared to the typical look for androids

 

[a secret-boss]

Love the tone and atmosphere

 

[udiie]

hoooooo boy this looks amazing

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

Feels like they're going for such a horror tone, love it.

 

[jett]

It's a slasher flick with a cool concept. It's all right. I imagine HBO is gonna take it to more interesting places.

 

[xVaalbarAx]

Holy shit, this looks pretty damn good! Cant wait!

 

[Death Metalist]

If you like or enjoy Westerns then it does, specifically because the concept is very unique and there is nothing like it out there in terms of how it blends smart/grounded in reality scifi and western. I don't recommend you watching the trailer because it spoils alot, just go with the synopsis at IDMB.

" A robot malfunction creates havoc and terror for unsuspecting vacationers at a futuristic, adult-themed amusement park. "

 

[ivysaur12]

I was super skeptical, but yup, yes, so down so hard.

 

[dead souls]

Might be good, hard to tell from 30 seconds. I'll watch but I don't trust HBO's dramas at all anymore.

 

[Tanner1495]

This looks amazing, I'm already sold.

 

[RatskyWatsky]

This time it's different. This time, it's Westworld!!!!

 

[xxracerxx]

Shit balls...that looks amazing.

 

[dead souls]

This time it's different. This time, it's Westworld!!!!

All I'm saying is I can be a world class lover for 30 seconds, but after that it's like blue balls in your heart.

 

[Bishop89]

never seen the movie, this looks good though

never do anything out of heart, dead souls, not even loving

 

[CalamityPixel]

Aww yis, mother fuckin Westworld, one of my favourite sci-fi Films.

If you haven't watched it before, do it asap. Plus, its got Yul as the bad guy, thats a big plus.
