Westworld | Renewed for Season 3
 
http://i.imgur.com/CrV7cKU.jpg

Quote:

The one-hour drama series Westworld is a dark odyssey about the dawn of artificial consciousness and the evolution of sin. Set at the intersection of the near future and the reimagined past, it explores a world in which every human appetite, no matter how noble or depraved, can be indulged.

Anyone thinking of watching this? I've seen the movie years ago and I remember liking it, the show looks brilliant. Some really good names in the cast (Anthony Hopkins!!) and I'm especially excited about Jonathan Nolan's involvement since Person of Interest is one of my favourite shows so he's already won me over with his take on Artificial Intelligence. For anyone not familiar with the movie, it's about a Wild West themed amusement park called Westworld full of robots that perfectly mimic humans (in the movie there are other areas based on different periods in history too so I wonder if the show will incorporate them eventually).

It's gonna start in October apparently, so a little while to go yet.

:clap1:

It's been a while since I saw the movie but I remember liking it and the idea of Artificial Intelligence turning on humans is a creepy idea that always interests me in film and television :laugh:

(And yeah I've realised this should have really been in the sci-fi section, I've PM'd Niamh :laugh:)

I've watched it a few times now, I really can't wait for this :laugh:

Ross. 21-06-2016 03:08 PM

I haven't seen the film so I might get round to watching that in preparation for this

TT350 21-06-2016 03:12 PM

Yes! Yul Brinner (sp?) was amazing in the original. Hope they recapture his performance.

They just need to remake Demon Seed now. That was proper creepy.

Lostie! 21-06-2016 03:22 PM

Just read the music's gonna be composed by Ramin Djawadi! He's the man behind the epic Person of Interest and Game of Thrones themes, among others. :clap2:

So many reasons to be excited for this, hope it delivers on it's potential.

Lostie! 04-08-2016 11:32 PM

October 2nd has been revealed as the official start date in the US, the UK airing likely won't be far behind.

If you like the concept of the BIB then I recommend an Anime called Ergo Proxy if you haven't already watched it.

And I like the look of Westworld, it goes along with my Sense8, Killjoys, and Dark Matter for my Sci-Fi watches.

Oh and I've got to get back into Colony as well.

arista 21-08-2016 12:14 PM

HBO have released a new trailer



This looks so ****ing good :flutter:

(It says "mature version" because they've released two versions of the new trailer but the differences are minor tbh :laugh:)

I don't really watch Anime but it's something I've thought about in the past so I'll look into it, cheers.

Wow that trailer looks so good!

I love that we got so much more of Anthony Hopkins' character in this one, he seems really sinister.

Black Dagger 01-09-2016 09:01 PM

Trailer looks good. I've missed out on SO many Sky Atlantic shows, but we're back with Sky from next week :clap1:

Ross. 01-09-2016 09:36 PM

I'm ready

Lostie! 01-09-2016 10:14 PM

They've done a tie-in website for Westworld for people to visit as if it was a real place and apparently it's full of little cool easter eggs and hints about the show but it's not available outside of the US :idc:

Which makes it a little awkward that Sky Atlantic have retweeted Thandie Newton tweeting a link to it :laugh:

Lostie! 13-09-2016 10:21 PM

And another new trailer


Lostie! 16-09-2016 08:46 PM

Quite a few reviews are now out and they're very positive

And the UK airdate has been confirmed as October 4th, so two days after the US airing.

Shaun 16-09-2016 09:03 PM

Looks promising

Ross. 20-09-2016 04:59 PM

Do we know how many eps this has got yet?

Lostie! 20-09-2016 05:04 PM

10 :)

Yeah, 10-13 episodes is my favourite length for a TV season. Long enough for a fleshed out story without having to throw in filler. :clap1:

HBO's seasons are usually around that length aren't they?

arista 28-09-2016 06:19 PM

Episode 1

is 9PM - 10:20PM

Next tuesday

Jason. 28-09-2016 06:25 PM

I'm going to give this a go. I like the sound of it and I've heard a lot of people talking about it. And I saw a bus poster for it today too :laugh:

Lostie! 28-09-2016 10:30 PM

I knew you'd give in.

Lostie! 03-10-2016 02:48 PM

I really enjoyed the first episode, glad to see it seems to be being really well received online too :clap1:

Spoiler:

The production values really are phenomenal :love: I love period settings so I really like how the scenes in the park really feel like an actual western :flutter:

There was a fair bit of controversy about the Dolores' rape in the run-up to the show airing and it was the scene I was least looking forward to so I was pleasantly surprised it was kept off-screen and the show didn't feel the need to show it for shock value. The implication was more than enough.

The twist with Teddy was a nice way to introduce him (even though I figured he was a robot since the trailer showed him lying "dead" and obviously they wouldn't give that away but I still liked it as a narrative technique and I'm sure it was a great swerve for the people who weren't obsessing over every promo like I was :laugh:).

I also love how creepy it looks when they start glitching and when they're stopped mid-action. Also the little stiff movements that old retired one made, it's all just really well-done. :clap2:

That final shot of Dolores swatting the fly was a perfect little omen, I'm here for her going psycho on the more deranged guests.

I adore shows that are really mysterious and mind screwy and full of opportunities for theorising (well my username's Lostie so obviously) and there's already a lot of discussion and theories floating around so I can really see this show being something I get really hooked on.


The promo for the rest of the season looks amazing :flutter:

Niamh. 04-10-2016 01:12 PM

oh I'm definitely giving this one a go

Lostie! 04-10-2016 01:33 PM

You really should. It's so intriguing and gives you a lot to think about. And there are really some brilliant performances from some of the actors.

arista 04-10-2016 04:52 PM

9PM tonight

Top actors, as well.

arista 04-10-2016 08:00 PM

On now


Sounds Great in 5.1 Dolby Sound

Lostie! 08-10-2016 10:33 PM

It's taken a lot of willpower to not watch the second episode since HBO released it early, didn't want to have more than a week's wait for episode 3 :joker: (from what I've seen its getting positive reviews too :clap1:)

BBUKAUSFAN 08-10-2016 11:12 PM

Watched episode 1 and 2 and really liking this show and cant wait to see how it all plays out.

Lostie! 10-10-2016 02:07 PM

Loved the second episode, even better than the first :clap1:

I've read a theory that
Spoiler:

the scenes with William and Logan are actually taking place 30 years ago and William is the younger version of the Man in Black. I would absolutely love this :flutter:

Is Teddy gonna be shot dead every week? He really is Westworld's very own Kenny :joker:

Jason. 10-10-2016 03:21 PM

I haven't gotten around to watching this yet as I've been so busy with work the past week but I'll be watching the first episode tonight :spin:

arista 11-10-2016 07:15 PM

Episode 2 tonight 9PM

Lostie! 11-10-2016 07:58 PM

What did you think of the first episode, arista?
