HBO’s Westworld teaser trailer looks awesome

The teaser trailer for HBO’s remake of Westworld looks awesome, and I wouldn’t be surprised to see this series become very popular with audiences.  This new series features Jonathan Nolan and JJ Abrams among it’s  executive producers and the casting looks to be pretty great as well.

This is based on a film written by Michael Crichton, who was a very successful author, screen writer, and movie and TV maker.  The motion picture used advanced effects for it’s time and was released in 1973.  A sequel followed.

The plot explores the ideas around humans interacting with androids, and it’s not a environment where everyone does only happy safe things, and makes it home to sleep in their own bed at night.  The advances in visual effects are in my opinion going to help this new version go places the film could have only dreamed about portraying to viewers.  I’ll be eagerly awaiting the release of more trailers and the release of this series.

That second item on Amazon has a trailer for the original movie that explains a good amount of the backstory for what Westworld is and why it exists.  Watch it if you have never heard of this movie before.
