Zitat von The Hollywood Reporter
Inspired by Michael Crichton's 1973 film of the same name, the
drama is billed as a dark odyssey about the dawn of artificial
consciousness and the future of sin. Hopkins stars as Dr. Robert
Ford, the brilliant, taciturn and complicated creative director,
chief programmer and chairman of the board of Westworld, who has an
uncompromising creative vision for the park — and unorthodox
methods of achieving it. Evan Rachel Wood portrays Dolores
Abernathy, the quintessential farm girl of the frontier West — who
is about to discover that her entire idyllic existence is an
elaborately constructed lie.
Joining Hopkins and Wood are
Jeffrey Wright
(Boardwalk Empire),
Rodrigo Santoro (Lost),
Shannon Woodward (Raising Hope),
Ingrid
Bolso Berdal (Hercules),
Angela Sarafyan
(Twilight: Breaking Dawn — Part 2) and
Simon
Quarterman.
Wright will play Bernard Lowe, the brilliant and
quixotic head of the park's programming division. His keen
observation of human nature provides him with boundless inspiration
for his life’s work — creating artificial people.
Santoro (Focus' Dominion) is set as the terrifying
and brutal with a dark sense of humor Harlan Bell, Westworld's
perennial "most wanted" bandit. He subscribes to the theory that
the West is a wild place, and the only way to survive is to embrace
the role of predator.
Woodward, marking her first regular role since
Fox's Raising Hope, is Elsie King, a sardonic rising star in the
programming division charged with diagnosing the odd quirks of
behaviors in the park's hosts.
Berdal will portray Armistice, a savage fighter
and brutal bandit whose ruthlessness with her victims is surpassed
only by her abiding loyalty to her fellow outlaws.
Sarafyan is set as Clementine Pennyfeather, one of
Westworld's most popular attractions, every aspect of Clementine is
perfectly beguiling, by design.
Quarterman rounds out the new additions as Lee
Sizemore, the narrative director of Westworld, whose inspired
storylines consistently delight or terrify the guests — and his
artistic temperament consistently grates on his colleagues.
