First pictures released of the new HBO series based on the 1973 Michael Crichton movie.

Am seriously looking forward to this.

For those not familiar with this movie, here it's trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvGfXhwI2Pw

Not sure about this. It's a great film which doesn't need remaking IMO, but then HBO do tend to do some good stuff.

Correct, leave the original in all its 70's low resolution glory.

I love the movie and may have been cautious about a series but seeing as it is HBO I think it'd be worth a go. Yul Brynner hard act to follow though!

It was shot on 35mm film, there's nothing low res about it.

It's JJ Abrams and Jonathan Nolan so will probably be very good though it doesn't bode well for Season Five of Person of Interest.

If anyone is upto the task it's Ed Harris. Perfect casting.




Not heard about this before reading the thread but just jumped to the top of my must watch list when you look at the talent involved.

Same here. Never heard of it but reading briefly about it it's got to be a must watch. Can't wait.

"What we can tell you is that we intend to make the most ambitious, subversive, f–ked-up television series... The things that keep you up at night, any of those things that trouble you—that is exactly what the show is about."

Looks like it may have been pushed back to early 2016 due to some cast changes etc.

Interesting, really like the film, one of my favourite from that area. That and Logan's Run..

The original film was remarkably good and Yul Brynner's Gunslinger surely a template for The Terminator.

This is where both Abrams and Nolan are at the moment:

I wonder if they're going to wrap this up first, which would explain a delay in Westworld or run the shows in parallel ?

Yul Brynner's half-smile on saying, "Draw!" is a truly classic momentsmile

I wonder if the show will feature the other 'Worlds' at all. Western is certainly the best of the three, though..

It may be because JJ Abrams and Christopher Nolan are still very much involved in Season 5 of Person of Interest which has been delayed. Initially it was to start late 2015 but was then put back until Spring 2016 and now looks like being sometime in June. It is only half a season though and expected to be the final season, unless another Network picks it up...
