Described as “a dark odyssey about the dawn of artificial consciousness and the future of sin”, Westworld is the upcoming new series from J.J. Abrams and Jonathan Nolan. A pilot for the series, which is based on Michael Crichton’s 1973 sci-fi film about a robotic theme park, was given the green light last August. Nolan is writing the pilot with Lisa Joy (Burn Notice). He will also direct.
