“Set at the intersection of the near future and the reimagined past, explore a world in which every human appetite, no matter how noble or depraved, can be indulged without consequence.”
The HBO original series Westworld is poised to make it's return with the 2nd season, and man am I beyond excited! I absolutely love this show, from the amazing intro, to the characters, the acting, the dialogue, and simply the way it makes you feel like you are a part of the story simply because it has so many layers. This is an example of television as a work of art, and if you have yet to watch Westworld be sure to check out the first season prior to the release of season 2. The cast includes Evan Rachel Wood, Thandie Newton, James Marsden, and Jeffrey Wright. Check out the official trailers below!!
Ted Takes Fun Facts, Westworld:
- Ben Barnes broke his foot before arriving to the first day of shooting. Being afraid of losing the job, he didn't tell anyone and just used the limp to look like a character choice. He then had to maintain the limp throughout the filming.
- Jonathan Nolan describes Westworld as "the next chapter of the human story, in which we stop being protagonists."
- The repetitive three chord phrase often heard in the background music comes from the original movie, where it underscored the Gunslinger's slow but relentless pursuit of the hero.
