HBO has officially ordered Westworld to series—a decision that no doubt comes as a relief to Anthony Hopkins, James Marsden, Thandie Newton, and the many others already cast on the show, who otherwise would’ve had to continue playing make-believe cowboy robots in their backyards for no pay, like the rest of us do. As previously reported, the series is based on Michael Crichton’s 1973 movie of the same name, about a futuristic amusement park where tourists can experience the thrill of being shot at by robots dressed like cowboys. (A thrill they would hitherto have had to experience vicariously through watching said movie, or the short-lived TV series Beyond Westworld.)
