Remaking A Classic
Welcome to Beyond Westworld, and boy do we have a remake for you!
As we prepare for the October 2nd premiere of the HBO series, Aaron and Troy are joined by Michael Ahr to take a closer look at the original film, Westworld. What works, what doesn’t, and most importantly – How would WE remake it for a modern audience? Join us for a fun episode as we debate numerous themes and ideas before ultimately settling on what we feel is the perfect modern remake of a cult classic.
In 1973, celebrated author and filmmaker Michael Crichton released Westworld, his visionary idea of what a theme park could be as human-looking androids fulfilled our every desire. 4 decades later, creators Jonathan and Lisa Joy Nolan are taking the concept to the next evolutionary step as Westworld can now be ‘fleshed’ out as a deeper concept that explores the vast array of potential and consequence from such advanced artificial intelligence.
The park is open, so come on in and have a drink on us!
What do you all think? How would YOU remake Westworld?
About HBO’s Westworld
In 1973, celebrated author and filmmaker Michael Crichton released Westworld, his visionary idea of what a theme park could be as human-looking androids fulfilled our every desire. Four decades later, creators Jonathan and Lisa Joy Nolan are taking the concept to the next evolutionary step as Westworld can now be ‘fleshed’ out as a deeper concept that explores the vast array of potential and consequence from such advanced technology. The one-hour drama series 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 can live without limits, no matter how noble or depraved, can be indulged.
The cast of the series includes Evan Rachel Wood, Ed Harris, Anthony Hopkins, Thandie Newton, Jeffrey Wright, James Marsden, Tessa Thompson, and more.
