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]

Wish they hadn't spoiled it in pre-season trailers. Would have had more impact as something new last night. Still great, but taking a moment to recall hearing it before took a little away from the impact.
Djawadi is a BAUCE. Such an ear for arrangement to wring new emotion out of the familiar. Doesn't hurt that it feels like he's constantly picking from my top shelf playlist.
His arrangement is Runaway might be my favorite music of 2018.

Watch out, she's about to spill her juice box. [Reply]
It was just so amazing that they could add to the already amazing dynamic playing out. I see "wyatt" as the dark side and Maeve as the Middle now and Ghost Nation as the good. [Reply]
Half way thru the episode I was hoping the Indian dude had already got out, and went into business with Delos as a part owner of the park. So the entire time it would be partly owned by a host. But it turned out not to be.
Am I the only one that wants to see a host "get out" into the real world and we see what they do? [Reply]
Best episode of the series so far. Visually stunning and actually introduced a new main player, with a damn interesting back story, who's been in plain sight the entire time. Well played. [Reply]

I see Ghost Nation as more of a catalyst than good or bad. I think they have a vital role to play in how the hosts determine their future but it's still going to be Maeve's side versus Wyatt's side. [Reply]
