HFPA in Conversation: Evan Rachel Wood,Back to the Future of Westworld
What does your vision of the future look like? That is one of the themes Westworld’s third season deals with. “The first season was the awakening, the second season was the reckoning and this season is really about choice: who we decide we are going to be now given the information and now knowing the world,” three-time Golden Globe nominee Evan Rachel Wood, who plays Dolores, told HFPA journalist Greet Ramaekers.

‘Westworld’ Debuts Its Stylish Third Season Trailer at Hall H Panel
While erstwhile global smash hit Game of Thrones was somewhat busy, in the tradition of Albert Brooks, defending its life at a Comic-Con 2019 post-mortem panel, another HBO show that in many ways was passed the zeitgeist torch by its network sibling was busy holding forth on Saturday, July 20, with what was probably the most intellectually substantive and thought-provoking Hall H panel in years. Westworld fans were treated to a first look — two looks, actually, since the trailer was replayed near the end of the gathering — at the show’s third season, set to premiere in 2020 at a date yet to be determined.

Evan Rachel Wood, James Marsden and Thandiwe Newton on “Westworld”
Expectations are high as a patchwork of conflicting clues build up to the much anticipated second season premiere of HBO's Westworld, as hosts and guests once again inhabit the futuristic wild west amusement park of dreams, desires and mayhem, first created in the mind of legendary sci-fi writer Michael Crichton, who wrote and directed the 1973 film on which the series is based.
While the first season had hosts awakening to their consciousness, the second season looks to promise epic conflicts, violence and retribution as our HFPA members Ramzi Malouki and Michele Manelis (with camera work by Mirai Konishi) discovered in these exclusive interviews with cast members Evan Rachel Wood, James Marsden and Thandiwe Newton.

“Westworld”: The Return of a Cult Sci-Fi Western
Michael Crichton’s Westworld is the only film directed by the amazingly prolific sci-fi writer. It foreshadowed the themes he would develop in Jurassic Park as well as those of James Cameron’s Terminator series, with the relentless pursuit by an unstoppable cyborg-cowboy (an unforgettable Yul Brynner).
