We’re a paltry 10 days away from the premiere of Westworld season 2, and HBO has dropped a new television spot to help get us in the right frame of mind. The quick hit is mostly made up of images we’ve seen in previous season 2 trailers, but there are a couple of new shots. Check it out:
As you can hear and see, Dolores Abernathy is the central figure in this spot, talking to an unseen character. Dolores is woke, and it’s an issue.
The scene opens with Dolores sitting in a room as the lights go out. “Have you ever questioned the nature of your reality?”
One shot later, the Man in Black rides away from Dr. Ford, the one Ford modeled after his boyhood self. The face has been cut away. “Do you ever wonder about your actions?”
Next, Bernard walks down a hallway, into a room where a hulking, white, unfinished host looms over his shoulder. “The price you’d have to pay if there was a reckoning.”
“That reckoning is here,” Dolores says as a female host cocks her weapon and points it at someone…probably the same someone who gave that nasty cut on her forehead.
We then get a quick succession of intense shots, including one of Maeve holding a sword, ready to attack, in Shogunworld. “You’re in my dream.”
Dolores reappears in close-up, still talking to that someone from the beginning of the spot.
And then all hell breaks loose as Delos security rushes in, guns blazing, toward what’s edited to look like Dolores on horseback, charging hard and firing back, but that can’t be right…
…can it?
Again, some of these shots we’ve seen before, but Maeve holding a samurai sword is definitely new and exciting. Be sure to tune into HBO on Sunday night, April 22 for the premiere.
