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. [Reply]
So I finally got HBO again through prime, haven't had it since the end of the last season of GoT. I rewatched season 1 of Westworld and it was as good as I remember. Then I started season 2 thinking it would be a letdown for some reason, and before I know it I'm in episode 5. So 15 straight hours of Westworld today. I'm thinking...not a letdown.
Did see earlier that season 3 isn't expected until next year. [Reply]
I skipped season 2; I just couldn't get excited for it for some reason. But that season 3 trailer has me excited enough to go and watch season 2 now, lol. [Reply]
