HBO Will Bring Back Michael Crichton's WESTWORLD As a Nolan/Abrams Production

 

BAD ROBOT Am I right?! HAH Get it?

Anyway, Deadline broke the news that the 1973 film, written and directed by the late Science-Fiction writer Michael Chrichton, who wrote several other books that would go onto silver-screen gold with "Jurassic Park", "Congo", "Timeline", "The Lost World", and "The 13th Warrior", will be adapted into an HBO Television series produced by J.J. Abrams and Jonathan Nolan. 

Westworld is described as a dark odyssey about the dawn of artificial consciousness and the future of sin. 

The series will be written by Nolan and "Burn Notice" writer Lisa Joy.

WESTWORLD is the story of an amusement park named Delos, where for a $1000 fee, a guest can indulge in their wildest fantasies, from sex, to fun, to murder, with the parks thousands of incredibly life-like and responsive androids. Obviously, things run amok, and Delos' guests are in for the fight of their lives.

Jonathan Nolan just finished writing the screenplay for Chris Nolan's upcoming Interstellar, and I have no doubt that "Westworld" will shock and awe audiences, adding another notch to HBO's impressive belt.
