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. |

Evan Rachel Woods apparently stayed in the gym during offseason. That body is right.

In case you were wondering, that was Dan and Dave, . . . and Drogon.

I think Dolores, Maeve, and Bernard are going to work together to figure out how to fold the hosts into a modern human society. Dolores is powerful but wild. Maeve won't put up with being controlled. Bernard wants to be a force for good in the world. I could see the season winding through a bunch of plotlines and ending up with all three of them working together to assimilate the hosts, possibly using immortality as a bargaining chip to deal with the humans.

After 2+ years now, I'm still not sure this show is good. It's certainly not bad, though. And it's at least always intriguing.
Maybe the plot will finally go somewhere with Dolores/Bernard out in the real world. |

This appears to be a completely different kind of show than the first 2 seasons. That may be a good thing.

I really like it so far.
Am I right in presuming that the persona inside Charlotte is Teddy? There is some really really good filmmaking in this show. Particularly when Charlotte was melting down and getting in the car with the bent windows that distorted her face really set the mood. Also, Ramin Djawadi is a ****ing wizard. The last scene with Delores and Caleb is really well done and super compelling. |
