Quote:
HBO's Westworld is building an A-list ensemble cast — despite the fact that most of the actors will play robots. Actually, that's the allure.

Based on Michael Crichton's 1973 film and written by Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy, the pilot stars Anthony Hopkins in his first series-regular role as an inventor who runs an adult amusement park populated by lifelike robots.
Sources tell The Hollywood Reporter these androids — played by castmembers including James Marsden, Evan Rachel Wood and Thandie Newton — can be killed off and return with completely different personas, allowing actors to play many characters in the same season.

That creative device, one top talent agent says, is helping HBO attract a premier cast (which also includes Ed Harris, Miranda Otto and Jeffrey Wright). And unlike the actors on such anthology series as FX's American Horror Story and HBO's own True Detective, which reboot themselves every season, the cast of Westworld is signing multiyear deals.
"This is built as a series and, in terms of storytelling, I think the rules are definitely being broken," says HBO programming president Michael Lombardo of the sci-fi Western from executive producers J.J. Abrams, Jerry Weintraub and Bryan Burk. "The promise of the show, in terms of where it's going, is exciting to actors, and they want to be a part of this."

Westworld — a rare outside studio buy for HBO, from Warner Bros. Television — is filming its pilot in Los Angeles in August as it awaits word on a pickup, which, given its pedigree, is expected.

Tbh it's not really surprising if you take a look at some of these actors' IMDG pages. Good actors, mind you.. Everyone gets old and gets to star in less films and not in lead roles to make money.Getting a multi-season contract with HBO is a real godsend for some of these guys Wink

Next year, likely in either June or September to occupy the slots vacated by True Blood or Boardwalk Empire.

It sounds very exciting!

Nice Very Happy Apparently Ed Harris is set to play the main villain. Described as "distillation of pure villainy into one man".

I don't like one-dimensional villains. I hope it's not gonna be all black and white.

If it's robots going berserk, I hope their behaviour will be somewhat black and white.

This could be really good, I always liked the original concept, about an adult amusement park with different themes, like Disneyland.
I can see Ed Harris playing the part of Yul Brynner, although he looks very old these days.

And I'm guessing the Roman orgy theme will play an important part in the series, as it's HBO Very Happy

The teasing worked. You had my curiosity but now you have my attention Very Happy
From those few seconds it really looks like something that I would enjoy, and hopefully with HBO the amount of cheesiness will stay minimal.
