Ed Harris takes Top villain role in HBOs "Westworld" reboot
Sweet. Loved this film when I was a kid. It's ripe for a reboot.
Doesn't sound like he's playing the Yul Brenner role though http://insidetv.ew.com/2014/08/11/ed-harris-westworld/ Image Credit: WireImage.com Ed Harris is coming to series TV: The Abyss and Apollo 13 actor has signed on as the Big Bad in HBO’s Westworld reboot. The four-time Oscar nominee’s character is called The Man in Black, and is described as “the distillation of pure villainy into one man.” He joins previously cast star — and fellow series television newcomer—Anthony Hopkins, along with Evan Rachel Wood, Jeffrey Wright, and Shannon Woodward. The Warner Bros.-produced sci-fi pilot produced by J.J Abrams, Jerry Weintraub, and Bryan Burk updates Michael Crichton’s 1973 classic film about a theme park where androids fulfill dark human desires. Harris’ description might sound like he’s playing the Yul Brynner killer-cowboy robot role, but it seems like actor Rodrigo Santoro was tapped for that part—and online production rumors suggest The Man in Black is actually a human character who sadistically abuses the androids. Harris will soon be seen the feature film Run All Night, starring opposite Liam Neeson and Joel Kinnaman. Harris won a Golden Globe and was nominated for an Emmy for his work in HBO’s Game Change. |

Interesting thought. . . Is Delores scripting the outliers?

Anyone tired of Tess Thompson's schtick this season? It's like she's intentionally overacting and trying for some deep and ominous voice. I like her acting and she's been good / great in everything I've seen her in but this season...ugh...I cannot stand her acting.

Really? I would surprised if all his cue card says is "Act menacing" - which he does very well - but it is sort of a one note theme.
I've kept up with this show, but I swear - I fall asleep during a lot of episode. The style of dialog delivery is generally very low key for long periods of time, interrupted by some scenes of violence. |

That's too bad, but the show just fell off a cliff compared to its old self.

How immediate was that fall? I remember thinking season 1 was some of the best TV ever, and then I got to like episode 3 of season 2 and could feel my interest waning. I "think" I finished that season, but never queued up season 3.

We never finished season 2 here. The only other show I have soured on so quickly come season 2 was Heroes but that had a lot to do with the writers strike.

For me it was the William reveal that started the downfall of the show.

I can’t tell you how much I disliked this last season. Completely disjointed. I watched it completely out of obligation rather than enjoyment.
This news is a relief. |

Every season before that had unfulfilled promise and it just didn't seem to me the writers ever had a clue where they wanted to go with the story and what they wanted to do with the characters. |

Went off the rails and became unwatchable. No wrapping that shitshow up.
