Remaking A Classic
Welcome to Beyond Westworld, and boy do we have a podcast for you!
As we prepare for the October 2nd premiere of the HBO series, Aaron and Troy are joined by Michael Ahr to take a closer look at the original film, Westworld. What works, what doesn’t, and most importantly – How would WE remake it for a modern audience? Join us for a fun episode as we debate numerous themes and ideas before ultimately settling on what we feel is the perfect modern remake of a cult classic.
In 1973, celebrated author and filmmaker Michael Crichton released Westworld, his visionary idea of what a theme park could be as human-looking androids fulfilled our every desire. 4 decades later, creators Jonathan and Lisa Joy Nolan are taking the concept to the next evolutionary step as Westworld can now be ‘fleshed’ out as a deeper concept that explores the vast array of potential and consequence from such advanced artificial intelligence.
Be sure to answer our fan question of the week: How would YOU remake Westworld? Visit our feedback page to leave a response or call +1 (304) 837-2278.
The park is open, so come on it and have a drink on us!
