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. |

What is the ETA for season 2? Hopefully they can get it done before Anthony Hopkins is dead. I'm sure he'll be in it, even if it is just back story.

BSG is one of my all time favorite shows. WW is an enjoyable distraction for me, but not in the same league. Just my opinion though.

See, that is my biggest complaint about WW and what keeps it from being next level. I feel like its themes have been done ad nauseum and I don’t really think it brings anything new to the table. I think it succeeds with its performances, and of course gratuitous Thandie Newton nudity, but I don’t really get a lot of depth from it.

I'm torn. I have some kind of visceral dislike for non-humans "winning", not matter what. It's why I got only so far with the Planet of the Apes movies. The Apes WILL win (we know that), and I wasn't going to go too far down the road of watching how.
For that reason, and because i thought the first season of WW was really good and "complete" in many ways in and of itself, I ended season 1 thinking "that was GREAT, but I think I'm done here". I think I will wait and see what you guys think of season 2 before deciding for certain. I'll take the spoiler risk... |
