Upon its release in 1973, Westworld, quickly became a sci-fi classic. The Michael Crichton film detailed a Matrix-esque narrative regarding simulated consciousness, and was back-dropped with a socially apocalyptic future. Westworld centred on the titular, cowboy-themed amusement park and starred a mad doctor, a mysterious man in black, and a young hotshot gunslinger.
Now, fans of the franchise will get a modern day reboot… And we have our first trailer to boot!
Jonathan Nolan (The Dark Knight, Inception, Interstellar) will helm the show, which has been in development at HBO since the summer of 2013. Westworld will star Anthony Hopkins, Ed Harris, Evan Rachel Wood, James Marsden and Jeffrey Wright. JJ Abrams and Bad Robot, are set to produce.
Watch the awesome and equally bizarre trailer for the show in the teaser below.
