Just a few weeks before its premiere date, a second full trailer of upcoming series "Westworld" was released by HBO on Sunday. The mature version trailer featured some of the faces you will be seeing for the sci-fi series including Anthony Hopkins, Evan Rachel Wood and Jimmi Simpson.
"Westworld" series was described by Independent as a "perfect Game Of Thrones replacement" as the latter will not be back for its season seven until April 2017. Aside from that, the upcoming sci-fi thriller is something to look forward to as HBO's "Westworld" is a TV adaptation of Michael Crichton's 1973 film of the same title.
In addition, Crichton will serve as one of the executive producers of the HBO series alongside Lisa Joy, J. J. Abrams and Bryan Burk. "Westworld" series creator Jonathan Nolan will direct the pilot episode of the sci-fi thriller which is slated to air on Oct. 2.
The much-awaited HBO series will revolve around the story of a futuristic theme park called "Westworld." It is being described as "a dark odyssey about the dawn of artificial consciousness and the future sin" which "explores a world in which every human appetite, no matter how noble or depraved, can be indulged."
Meanwhile, co-creator Joy said "the show is complicated and ambitious," describing how they have done scriptwriting simultaneously with an ongoing production during the first half of the series. In January, the filming of "Westworld" was halted to allow Nolan and Joy catch up for the scripts; however, the hiatus gave them enough time to polish the storyline of the HBO series.
"Taking that time allowed us to really finesse all the storylines we set up - deepening character arcs and delving further into the series' larger mythological questions. By finishing all the episodes before returning to shooting, we were able to concentrate on production in the latter half of the show - making sure the last few episodes were as ambitious on the screen as they were on the page," Joy told Entertainment Weekly.
