The mysterious sci-fi drama’s poster includes the show’s double “W” logo, a glimpse of a scenic Western vista and a skeletal unfinished robotic “host.”...

Westworld also unveiled a new tagline: “Every Hero Has a Code,” a nod to how the protagonists in this update of Michael Crichton’s 1973 film are the androids more than humans that use them for entertainment.

Mankind Redfined?

I loved the original Westworld. Futureworld was ok. The spinoff series was ok for the time.

I note that the dude has boobs, which is unsettling.

Creativity is completely lost when you have to delve into the 40s, 50s, 60s and 70s to “reimagine” some kind of plot.

It tells me they (our new generation of imagineers) may have learned about our past times for enjoyment and have applied new cinematographic advances to retell an old story, but they have learned absolutely effing nothing about the lessons and impacts that resulted..

Ugh, even robots are transgender.

It looks interesting, but it also looks like it is close to being Ex Machina, the TV series.

I’ll know the bottom has been hit when Megaforce II hits the screen.

[Larry Lucido]

He has man boobs.

[BenLurkin]

Does look a bit like Bruce Jenner.

Maybe someone should re-imagine the story of Briton King Vortigern, who brought in Hengist and Horsa (leaders of Angles & Saxons) as mercenaries, but ended up being conquered.

Except replace Angles & Saxons with Muslims.

It’s been over 4 decades, but I’m still waiting for the invention of those robotic barmaids.

I’d say it would be “Defcon Four” myself :0)

There are only about 5 stories in the world anyway.

As a sex robot it fails strongly.

Plus, I want soft skin, not no skin. Meh.

What a "coincidence" - Burning Man has the same theme this year.

[baltimorepoet]

Also, it probably talks, too.

What’s up with that?

They really screwed the pooch on this one.

Plus, I note her head is not flat on top.

Where am I going to put my beer?
