I hope it is finished for a Fall or Winter premiere

Josh-da-man

What's the code here? They're having to redo the ending of the series because either HBO didn't like it or some actors are going to jump ship?

I can't really imagine that an HBO production would need to catch up on the final four scripts of any series. Wouldn't they already have all of the season's scripts in hand before they started filming?

Spiderbite

Maybe they had to write some actors out of the show who didn't comply with the prior statement.

Lili Simmons new project after the events of Banshee

Deadline says they've resumed filming. I'm guessing this will air in the Fall.

Deftones

hopefully she gets nude!

Josh-da-man

Yeah, but we've already seen it. I want to see some chick get naked I haven't seen naked before.

This wrapped shooting yesterday, according to ERW's twitter account. Really looking forward to it. I'm guessing we'll see a premiere in October or November.

Cannot wait to see it. I love Evan Rachel Wood in anything.

HBO announced this will premiere in the Fall. No exact date yet.

Teaser came out yesterday. Looks really good.

csant

That does look good... I will check it out.

TGM

hell yeah...

I had no expectations for this to be good when I first heard about it. But that trailer...damn. I am very interested in this now.

mwbmis

Given the production difficulties it's hard to get too excited, but the trailer did make me want to watch it.

I didn't know that Talulah Riley was in this.

Osiris3657

Certainly looks interesting. I'll watch at least the first couple episodes.

Koby

That trailer. Wow.

PatD

But, will it be better than than the short-lived series, "Beyond Westworld"? Because if it can't surpass that high bar of quality, I'm not going to waste my time.

Deftones

yeah, that trailer definitely got me interested.

DJariya

Very cool teaser.

According to thefutoncritic.com, the first season will be 10 episodes. That's pretty normal for HBO these days.

I'll be looking forward to this in October. With Person of Interest over, looks like Jonathan Nolan will be focusing his attention on this now. HBO probably won't officially announce it until after the premiere, but it's pretty much a certainty this has a second season deal locked up.

Maz Kanata

I'm pretty sure this will have no problem topping the god awful Yul Brynner film let alone that tv series.

PatD

Say whatever you want about "Beyond Westworld" or even the misbegotten sequel, Futureworld, but Westworld was a friggin' classic.

Eric F

So did the actors really sign a waiver because they had to touch each other's junk or was it just a publicity stunt?

Maz Kanata

Just because people know of it and it has its share of fans (like one of the lesser, mediocre Planet of the Apes films) doesn't make it a classic. The film is simply awful. It's a cheesy guilty pleasure. Nothing more.

james2025a

That movie was a goddam classic. I think you are in a minority thinking it was bad. One of the best Sci-fi's not just of the 70's, but ever.

I don't see any aspect that can be seen as awful or cheesy. It was smart in the way it handled the sci-fi aspect and did not show the viewer too much. The settings, effects, acting, music and direction were all very strong.

Maz Kanata

Nostalgia is a hell of a thing. When's the last time you've actually watched it? It is god awful. Richard Benjamin's performance alone makes most of his scenes borderline unwatchable.

whotony

I think Westworld is a great movie.

Oneof my favorites from the 70's.
