Today HBO has released two versions of its trailer for their upcoming Westworld series inspired by the movie of the same name. There are two versions that have been released – a normal version and a mature version. We will be featuring the normal version below, so make sure you check that out!
The official synopsis for the HBO series is as follows:
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.

Looking at the trailer, it is very clear to me that the storyline of the series will be heavily influenced by the storyline of the original Westworld movie. The machines that were made to fill these historical theme parks are starting to go awry. There will be chaos and death. The single difference that I can detect, and I’m sure you’ll correct me if I’m wrong, is Evan Rachel Wood’s character realizing that her entire life has been fully constructed for her. I don’t recall there being a character in the original film being so immensely self aware.
