WESTWORLD (2016) TV Spot & Featurette: J.J. Abrams & Others Go BTS + New Footage [HBO]

Anthony Hopkins Chair Heads Wall Westworld

Westworld TV Spot & Featurette

A Westworld (2016) TV show commercial and TV show featurette have been released by HBO. The featurette is illuminating with regard to what the state of humanity is in the Westworld TV series. The viewer sees Dr. Robert Ford (Anthony Hopkins) talking to people before they enter Westworld. From the featurette via Westworld’s creators/executive producers Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy and executive producer J.J. Abrams, the viewer learns that Westworld is not just about what happens in the artificial western society. It is also about what people bring with them, their personal baggage, what has been kept hidden, that Westworld exposes.

From the footage in the featurette (entitled ‘Classic Western Meets Science Fiction Film | Invitation to the Set – Westworld’) and the TV spot (entitled ‘An Entire World’), it looks like Dolores Abernathy (Evan Rachel Wood) is not the only Host that is becoming aware of the cage she (or rather it) exists in. The Man in Black (Ed Harris) seems like he has been aware for some time.

Westworld‘s plot synopsis: “The series is based on the 1973 film of the same name, and is set at a theme park run by very life-like androids. Unlike the film, which centered around human visitors being menaced by robot workers, the show will be from the workers’ perspective. The one-hour drama series…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.”

Westworld also stars Ed Harris, Steven Ogg, Timothy Lee DePriest, Jeffrey Wright, Rodrigo Santoro, Shannon Woodward, Angela Sarafyan, Simon Quarterman Thandie Newton, James Marsden, Ingrid Bolsø Berdal, Eddie Rouse, Demetrius Grosse, Kyle Bornheimer, Currie Graham, and Lena Georgas.
