After many months of anticipation (and some re-casting) HBO released the first significant online teaser for its star-filled upcoming series from Jonathan Nolan (brother of director Christopher) and Lisa Joy, along with producers J.J. Abrams, Jerry Weintraub and Bryan Burk. Though only about 30 seconds long, you’ll get some sense of the drama series.


quote:


The set-up: Loosely based on the 1973 sci-fi film from Michael Crichton, Westworld is about a futuristic theme park where visitors can live out their dark fantasies with ultra-realistic androids (there are 3D printed sexbots and killbots) — until something, of course, goes wrong. The cast includes James Marsden, Evan Rachel Wood, Thandie Newton, Anthony Hopkins, Jeffrey Wright and Ed Harris. For more, here’s our deep-dive interview with producers. Westworld is expected to premiere sometime next year.

Am I the only one that thinks Vinyl looks terrible?

I'm a fan of classic rock and the 60s-70s it just all seemed forced in that trailer.

I'm a Scorsese fan and all but idk. Ill give it a shot.

I thought Vinyl looked like it will be pretty good. Hard to really tell from a trailer...but it looked good enough to have me interested in it.

Really looking forward to Westworld also.

Don't forget The Leftovers S2...

HBO is just so damn good

BTW, the Westworld trailer had a nice Kubrick feel to it as well

Honestly, the Leftovers sucks. It's one of HBO's weakest series.

I saw this coming up, so I rented the original movie and I enjoyed it. It seems to have a Dark Tower feel to it.

Who's voice is that? Ed Harris? It sounds so much like Thomas Jane I had to recheck the cast.

Looks pretty good.

I can't imagine anyone topping Yul Brynner in the original move though.
He was the original Terminator.

Evidently they are going Full Game of Thrones on the sex side. Actresses had to sign a genital to genital contract.

That was on Drudge all day today.

Westworld looks pretty crazy, unique if nothing else. Will give it a watch. Vinyl will probably be really good, but the time period and backdrop do nothing for me.
