Westworld To Debut This Fall

For those wondering what the hell was up with the ‘Westworld’ TV series presented by HBO, it looks like it’ll be on our screens later this year.  A hard date is not yet available, but the word comes via a press release announcing the network’s upcoming fall series, which include Divorce, Insecure, and High Maintenance.

This will be a reboot of the Michael Crichton film about a theme park of cyborgs that blow a fuse. The series, from writer/executive producer Jonathan Nolan along with J.J. Abrams, Jerry Weintraub and Bryan Burk, will explore the darker side of the dawn of artificial consciousness and sin in a new age.

Anthony Hopkins, Ed Harris, Evan Rachel Wood, James Marsden, Thandie Newton, Jeffrey Wright, Sidse Babett Knudsen, Rodrigo Santoro, Ben Barnes, Jimmi Simpson, Clifton Collins, Jr., Shannon Woodward, Ingrid Bolso Berdal, Simon Quarterman and Angela Sarafyan star in the series which will premiere next year.

Anyone remember when this was a rumoured Arnold Schwarzenegger vehicle?
