First Westworld Teaser Just As Eerie As We’d Hoped

It’s been a long wait for some footage from Westworld, but HBO finally delivered a real teaser clip this weekend, and the tone is just as unsettling as we’ve hoped and expected here at Beyond Westworld.

More from Westworld

Evan Rachel Wood’s Dolores Abernathy is at the center of the clip, sitting bruised and naked in a high tech room. A conversation between Dolores and an unseen voice has her saying she feels like she’s in a dream, and she wants to wake up, because she’s terrified.

All she has to do is to answer the man’s question correctly, but it’s a doozy: have you ever questioned the nature of your reality?

A fly lands in Dolores’ eye, but she doesn’t blink, possibly because she’s one of Westworld’s artificial beings. We get to see some of them too, looking like fleshy Terminators while being created, and in various states of undress while being expected in other snippets by Dr. Robert Ford (Anthony Hopkins) and Bernard Lowe (Jeffrey Wright). I think it’s safe to say we might be getting Game of Thrones levels of nudity from this series, so be forewarned.

Other quick glimpses show us what appear to be dead bodies and people being menaced by Ed Harris’ Man in Black, and while the camera pans up at the very end, we never quite get to see his face. The teaser ends with the new Westworld logo, which looks very sharp, and the promise that it’s coming to HBO in 2016.

As you might expect, we can’t wait.
