As much as a I am interested in Westworld, I just really can't imagine it being that next flagship HBO show like Sopranos, True Blood or GoT.
...Then again I never imagined GoT would become the hit it has become so what the fuck do I know lol.

Looks amazing. Can't even contain my excitement. A sci-fi show with a cast and creators of this caliber being shown on HBO? Sign me the fuck up.
On a side note I'm hopeful HBO will eventually get their shit together and put out some quality hour longs in the next year or so. They can't afford to coast too much with Netflix breathing down their neck and they've shown consistently over the last 15 years that while they have slumps you can always depend on them to push through them.
Now just give me my Deadwood mini series

Yeah, I am now curious what that Alan Ball project is now that you brought my attention to it. But looking at that list, outside of the miniseries, there isn't a whole lot that is jumping out at me.
I wonder whatever happened to I, Claudius?
Though frankly, if I were HBO, I would drop a pallet of money at Matthew Weiner's door and tell him they will fast track whatever he wants to do next. Maybe see if David Milch has any ideas for another historical drama. And I will always welcome a new gangster genre show by HBO.

Looking forward to this one
Thankfully a movie seems like it is at least somewhat likely at this point: http://collider.com/deadwood-movie-update/
Milch also probably has a lot of motivation given his recent financial issues. Would love to see it grow into a miniseries.
And yeah, this show oozes with potential. It will be a shame if it isn't a Drama of they year candidate with all the talent on both sides of the camera.

Well, the author of Jurassic Park wrote this too
Honestly I know nothing of the source material other then whats in the trailers - and while I don't think this is how such tech will actually first manifest IRL - the idea doesn't seem that far fetched.
The money that could be made from something like this off the ultra rich would be enormous.
I mean just imagine how much Donald Trump would pay to have a simulation featuring his daughter's A.I. lookalike?

Well, they aren't really perfect robots. They have to constantly be monitored and go through maintenance every night. At least in the original movie.

so you have the technology to build perfect robots and you use them for... a theme park?
reminds me of this picture somehow

I don't think this will flop. The sci fi hook might bring ppl in.

Stunning.
Just stunning.
Westword was pretty much a product of its time, but I hope HBO can adapt it as respectfully as it looks.
You can count me as subbed to the OT as soon as it's made.

They had to reshoot almost the entirety of Game of Thrones pilot because it was so bad and the end result was great.

I'm getting some mad OG Syndicate vibes from the android making machine, by the way

Yeah that's not vibes. They stole it from a 30 year old game and hoped no one would notice.

I know next to nothing about Westworld, but have been seeing the same trailer for what seems like a year now. And it looks like it may end up being great.
Plus, Evan Rachel Wood is great eye candy.

She's almost distracting for me.
I'm in for Hopkins and Harris owning the hell out of their scenes, but ERW being in this just makes it even more appealing for me.

Oh yes. My Rachel Wood love has been rekindled in the past year. I'm all good and ready for this.

When Anthony Hopkins decides to give a shit, he is a masterful actor. Lots of nuance in his performance just based off the trailer.
Looks fantastic.

I've seen the original movie, and it's one of the Sci-Fi classics.
I think HBO honestly picked this up though because it's essentially Deadwood IN SPAAAAACE.

unless this was also in the westworld movie then this is just blatantly ripping off the game, i hope they acknowledge the reference in the credits or something.
but god damn does it look fantastic in that westworld clip. that is just a striking image.
edit: actually i dunno it could be coincidence. both seem influenced by the vitruvian man.

I was really interested in this until I saw the trailer last night, but now I'm starting to get excited.

It is, at least Syndicate's. The Agent Vitality Unit is also called the Leonardo. I wouldn't be surprised if Westworld's designers were influenced by it. It's a bit of a striking coincidence from a visual and thematic perspective.
