Inspired by the 1973 motion picture of the same name directed and written by
Michael Crichton, the Westworld television series was co-created by Jonathan
Nolan and Lisa Joy. The one-hour drama 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.
