So for those too lazy to read the above link, HBO has ordered a pilot for an adaptation of the Michael Crichton book "Westworld," which was made into a badass 1973 movie wherein Yul Brynner played the Terminator.
I don't know about anyone else, but I am so down for this. J.J. Abrams, Jonathan Nolan, and Jerry Weintraub (Behind the Candelabra, the Ocean's movies) are making it. I love J.J., though I will admit it seems as if his TV producing credits nowadays are more like just endorsements than any sort of quality guarantee. Either way J.J. is better than most. Nolan is an awesome screenwriter and it looks like he'll be directing the pilot. I haven't seen Person of Interest but I've heard good things. Also his brother is Christopher Nolan.
But the thing that makes me most excited is that HBO is behind it. I think I probably trust HBO more than any other channel. The possibilities for a HBO Westworld series are endless. I'm excited.
