Foxtel confirms Westworld Similicast

This one promises to be huge 

Westworld, HBO’s highly anticipated reality-bending drama, starring Anthony Hopkins, Rachel Evan Wood, and James Marsden will arrive on Foxtel in October. 

Set at the intersection of the near future and the reimagined past, Westworld, based on the 1973 film, is a dark odyssey that looks at the dawn of artificial consciousness and the evolution of sin and explores a world in which every human appetite, no matter how noble or deprived, can be indulged.

The 10 episode season of Westworld is an ambitious and highly imaginative drama that elevates the concept of adventure and thrill-seeking to a new, ultimately dangerous level. In the futuristic fantasy park known as Westworld, a group of android “hosts” deviate from their programmers’ carefully planned scripts in a disturbing pattern of aberrant behaviour.

Westworlds cast is led by Anthony Hopkins (Noah,) as Dr. Robert Ford, the founder ofWestworld, who has an uncompromising vision for the park and its evolution; Ed Harris (Snowpiercer,  ) as The Man in Black, the distillation of pure villainy into one man; Evan RachelWood (HBO’s Mildred Pierce and True Blood) as Dolores Abernathy, a provincial rancher’s daughter who starts to discover her idyllic existence is an elaborately constructed lie; James Marsden (The D Train, the X-Men films) as Teddy Flood, a new arrival with a close and recurring bond with Dolores; Thandie Newton (Half of a Yellow Sun, Mission: Impossible II) as Maeve Millay, a madam with a knack for survival; and Jeffrey Wright (The Hunger Games films; HBO’s Confirmation and Boardwalk Empire) as Bernard Lowe, the brilliant andquixotic head of Westworld’s programming division. Other cast members include Tessa Thompson (Creed), Sidse Babett Knudsen (Borgen),Jimmi Simpson (House of Cards), Rodrigo Santoro (The 33), Shannon Woodward (Raising Hope), Ingrid Bolsø Berdal (Chernobyl Diaries),Ben Barnes (The Chronicles of Narnia films), Simon Quarterman (The Devil Inside), Angela Sarafyan (The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn),Luke Hemsworth (Infini) and Clifton Collins, Jr. (Star Trek).
