I am looking forward to this. Though they shut down filming for a while, and the pilot was filmed nearly 2 years ago, so who knows if it'll be good.

 

[Glebehawk]

The pics look great. Feels like it's both sci-fi and fantasy. I don't think HBO will turn this into the next Game of Thrones, but looks to have great potential.

 

[PoppedCorn]

Starts this weekend
Will be adding it to the list

 

[thefendoff]

everywhere ive looked the first ep has good reviews. hoping this will fill the game of thrones sized void in a couple of years if this is still going

 

[Glebehawk]

It's very different to thrones, but they've definitely spent money on the production and the first ep keeps you guessing and
Hooked.

 

[aussiedude]

Starts 12PM Monday on Foxtel

HBO are hoping its a hit. Looks like it will be the best drama series HBO has done since Deadwood

Insiders tell The Hollywood Reporter the overall budget for the first season of the 10-episode project is in the $100 million range — on par with HBO's long-in-the-works rock drama Vinyl, which fizzled after one season earlier this year. Sources peg the budget for the 90-minute Westworld pilot alone in the $25 million range, including reshoots, with some costs rolled to episode two as parts of the series debut were moved out of the premiere. (For context: HBO scrapped the entire original Game of Thrones pilot, which had a price tag of $20 million.) The per-episode budget is said to be anywhere from $8 million to $10 million. It's also worth noting that the drama hails from Warner Bros. Television, with HBO paying a massive licensing fee to its corporate sibling for Westworld, which is among the premium cabler's few studio buys. Both share in the costs for the series, with sources noting it's likely a 50-50 split and HBO serving as the lead on the show.

Created by husband-and-wife duo Jonathan Nolan (Person of Interest) and Lisa Joy and executive produced by J.J. Abrams, Westworld features a cast of A-listers including Anthony Hopkins as the head of an ultra-realistic amusement park where visitors come to live out their most outrageous desires. The cast also includes Evan Rachel Wood, James Marsden, Thandie Newton and Ed Harris. (Hopkins and Harris are said to have scored $175,000 per episode each...)

Damn $25M for the pilor. and Hopkins and Harris are making huge money for a cable show.
