Co-created by Jonathan Nolan
and Lisa Joy, the one-hour drama series Westworld is a dark odyssey about
the dawn of artificial consciousness and the evolution of sin. Set at the
intersection of the near future and the reimagined past, it explores a world in
which every human appetite, no matter how noble or depraved, can be indulged.
Co-creator Nolan explains, "Building on the incredibly evocative concept of
the original film, we wanted to pose the question: If you could be completely
immersed in a fantasy, one in which you could do whatever you wanted, would you
discover things about yourself that you didn’t want to know?"
Co-creator Joy adds, "We also wanted to explore what it means to be human
from the outside in – through the eyes of the ‘hosts’: the lifelike AI
characters that are the main attractions of the park. It’s a meditation on
consciousness – the blessing and the burden of it – beautifully portrayed by
our remarkable cast."
The cast of the 10-episode series includes Anthony
Hopkins, Ed Harris, Evan Rachel Wood, James Marsden, Thandie Newton, Jeffrey
Wright, Tessa Thompson, Sidse Babett Knudsen, Jimmi Simpson, Rodrigo Santoro,
Shannon Woodward, Ingrid Bolsø Berdal, Ben Barnes, Simon Quarterman, Angela
Sarafyan, Luke Hemsworth and Clifton Collins, Jr.
Westworld was inspired by the motion picture "Westworld," written
and directed by Michael Crichton. Production companies, Kilter Films, Bad Robot
Productions, and Jerry Weintraub Productions in association with Warner Bros.
Television.
