New WESTWORLD Trailer Is Like GAME OF THRONES With Robot Cowboys

TEASER: WESTWORLD

Before Jurassic Park and The Terminator, there was Westworld. Part of a hi-tech amusement park that also included Medieval World and Roman World, it was a place you could live out your historical fantasies among humanoid robotswhich were programmed not to kill. Yeahhhh, that wasnt gonna last. Originally adapted as a kickass sci-fi thriller with Yul Brynner as an unstoppable robot gunman, Westworld also had a sequel and network TV spinoff that didnt fare quite so well. HBO, though, just showed theyre going to relaunch the property in a big way.

Think Game of Cyborgs. Heck, theres even an interactive map like the opening credits of GoT. By the looks of it, more than one of these replicant-like creations will not only transcend programming, but also start to question their existence and mortality, more like Roy Batty than a T-800. Violent delights, as they say, have violent ends. With a lot of s*x in between, judging by all the n***d bodies on display. And now we have to wait until October to see what J.J. Abrams and Jonathan Nolan have cooked up for us. But Jeffrey Wright and Anthony Hopkins, plus Evan Rachel Woods Aeon Flux impersonation, have our attention already.

Medieval World and Roman World look like they may be saved for future seasons, however. But were pumped nonetheless, especially since it looks like everyone will swear like its Deadwood again, and since weve never really gotten closure on that whole deal, resurrecting it with robots is fine by us.
