The original Westworld was both compose and directed by Michael Crichton of Jurassic Park fame ( andtiny dick ruleinfamy ) . Crichton return away in 2008 . The film focus around a common subject from 1970s futurism : That one daylight we ’d all be able-bodied to ordain our wildest fantasies in a wholly immersive , simulated environment .

But they all plow out to be a piddling too immersive , because the parks soon become ground zero for the golem uprising . The throttle - catapult robots of West World go off - script and start hunt our mustachioed protagonist through the various land . It ’s all playfulness and game in the Wild West pretending until the men in white lab coats lose mastery of their human - similar creation .

It ’s too early to tell , but the coolheaded affair HBO could do ( at least in this small blogger ’s view ) would be to set the “ mod daylight ” scenes in the 1970s . The series does n’t have an gentle wind engagement yet . All we know is that we should look for it sometime in 2015 .
