Just a few days ago, we brought you some fresh imagery and inside intel on HBO's new drama series Westworld. Now, with the show itself fast approaching, a new trailer has been put online.
Loosely – in terms of basic concept – on Michael Crichton's 1973 sci-fi thriller, the new series explores the moral dilemmas of a massive, entirely convincing theme park realm, one in which in which every human appetite, no matter how noble or depraved, can be indulged via some extremely realistic artificial life forms.
But when something starts to go wrong – or, from the "hosts"' point of view, right – the A.I. begin to show real signs of sentience and start to realise that their human visitors are not the people who should be running the place. There will be consequences. And, one assumes, blood.
The 10-episode first season, which stars Evan Rachel Wood, Anthony Hopkins, Jeffrey Wright, James Marsden, Thandie Newton and more, debuts across the pond on October 2, and should be making its way here via Sky Atlantic shortly after that. For more on the series, pick up the current issue of Empire.
