Ed Harris takes Top villain role in HBOs "Westworld" reboot
Sweet. Loved this film when I was a kid. It's ripe for a reboot.
Doesn't sound like he's playing the Yul Brenner role though http://insidetv.ew.com/2014/08/11/ed-harris-westworld/ Image Credit: WireImage.com Ed Harris is coming to series TV: The Abyss and Apollo 13 actor has signed on as the Big Bad in HBO’s Westworld reboot. The four-time Oscar nominee’s character is called The Man in Black, and is described as “the distillation of pure villainy into one man.” He joins previously cast star — and fellow series television newcomer—Anthony Hopkins, along with Evan Rachel Wood, Jeffrey Wright, and Shannon Woodward. The Warner Bros.-produced sci-fi pilot produced by J.J Abrams, Jerry Weintraub, and Bryan Burk updates Michael Crichton’s 1973 classic film about a theme park where androids fulfill dark human desires. Harris’ description might sound like he’s playing the Yul Brynner killer-cowboy robot role, but it seems like actor Rodrigo Santoro was tapped for that part—and online production rumors suggest The Man in Black is actually a human character who sadistically abuses the androids. Harris will soon be seen the feature film Run All Night, starring opposite Liam Neeson and Joel Kinnaman. Harris won a Golden Globe and was nominated for an Emmy for his work in HBO’s Game Change. |

Was online 2 days ago. Very good episode. I doubt HBO keeps releasing them early online, but I hope they do.

Loving it
Incredible bit of world building so far. Love all the little details about the underground world of the park. It would be quite an operation to run a theme park of this nature, and they are showing that. A coworker friend brought up , is the world real or virtual? I'm assuming it's real/physical, ,but it could be virtual I suppose? They do show the guests arriving by train though

Anthony Hopkins' character is awesome in this show. His perception of the world around him, as well as the world he has created, provide some highly interesting moments.
I really enjoyed the monologue referring to Occam's Razor; just great scripting and acting all around.

2nd episode delivered for me. 1st episode was fine for getting oriented with the landscape, and not a criticism outside of it just didn't have that 1 scene that delivers the hook. To be fair, the story premise is already the hook.
Favorite theory so far:
Spoiler!
The makeshift oil derrick / cross is a great teaser!
