Nordic Honorary Dragon Award recipient Sidse Babett Knudsen said at Sweden’s Göteborg Film Festival that she felt “frustrated” when filming HBO’s “Westworld,” particularly regarding the treatment of horses.
“In the U.S., they don’t have a flat hierarchy, which won’t surprise anyone. I would knock on the producers’ door all the time, saying: ‘These horses have been out in the sun for 10 hours, they are going to fucking die,” she recalled. “They are not even working today – get them in the shade!'”
She continued, “As a Dane, I was just looking at the resources, money and logic, going: ‘It’s crazy!’ But, of course, it’s super irritating when an actress talks about horses all the time. How did they react? Not well.”
In the first season of the dystopian series, Knudsen played Theresa Cullen, Westworld’s head of quality assurance. HBO did not immediately...

Breaking into the American entertainment world can sometimes be difficult for European actors. However, Sidse Babett Knudsen has managed to find a way. Knudsen was born in Denmark where she began her acting career in experimental theater. She eventually moved on to roles in Danish film and TV productions. In 2016, she was cast as Theresa Cullen on HBO’s Westworld. Even though she only appeared in the first season of the show, the role was enough to get American viewers familiar with her face and her talent.

(Warning: This post contains all the spoilers for “Westworld” Season 2. But presumably that’s what you’re here for.)
We’re so close, finally, to Season 3 of “Westworld.” This was already a big television event, but it’s probably an even larger one now with the coronavirus pandemic causing so many people to become temporary shut-ins. But it’s been so long since “Westworld” season 2 wrapped up all the way back in 2018. That season was so narratively complicated that it can be tough to remember everything that happened even if you had just watched it — but the fact that it’s been nearly two years makes it even tougher.
But don’t worry, because TheWrap is here to remind you of and explain the most important things that happened in the Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy-created show so that you’re ready for the returns of Dolores (Wood), Bernard...

It was the best of worlds, it was the worst of worlds. Like no episode before it, this week's voyage to Westworld ("Les Écorchés") was the proverbial non-stop action thrill ride – a carnival midway of cool sci-fi/horror imagery and visceral combat. It had James Marden's Teddy going full Terminator, dressed in body armor and beating short-lived security badass Coughlin to death with his bare hands. It has both Clementine and Angela going out in blazes of glory, the latter by blowing up the hosts' backup files in the Cradle...

Complete with non-player characters that “respawn” and the ability to roam an open world, “Westworld” takes the pillars of many of today’s most popular video games and gives them flesh. With the HBO original show back for a new season, the scars left by the titular video game-meets-amusement park’s founder Robert Ford (Anthony Hopkins) have been ripped open anew. Ford’s deeply broken version of leadership — filled with deception, misdirection, and manipulation — carries with it cautionary tales that video game studio leads and other creative visionaries can take to heart.
Ford is the embodiment of nearly everything an entrenched game director should avoid becoming. He suffers from what’s known as “Founder’s Syndrome,” even if his take is more murderous than most who share his affliction. Founders are typically both revered as geniuses central to the success of their organizations and feared for their capricious behavior. In some cases,...

HBO’s “Westworld” has made a name for itself as a 22-time Emmy nominated show that garnered the network’s highest ever first season viewership. But the intricate plots, haunting writing and western-future hybrid production design of the genre program do not exist in a vacuum.
“Westworld” showrunners Lisa Joy and Jonathan Nolan took inspiration from several other works to build their perfect dystopian theme park, including — but not limited to — the show’s cinematic source material. Here are some of the projects that influenced the hit series.
“Westworld” and “Futureworld”
While the plot of the premium cabler drama is only loosely based on the plots of its filmic source material, several homages and easter eggs to the movies are planted throughout the series. The show does borrow directly from the Michael Crichton films’ original concepts, which include a western theme park run by robotic gunslingers, cowboys, and natives. However,...

Maeve Millay is building an army.
Equipped with the knowledge that her life is a lie and endowed by her creator – or at least by her goofball medical technicians – with superhuman smarts and skills, she’s prepping an escape attempt. Specifically, one that will require a whole host of "hosts" to help her break on through to the other side: the real world. She's now able to command her fellow androids just like Westworld's employees, though she does it in the third person, as if telling a story in which her robotic peers are characters.

Behind every great man is a great android.
That's the shocking secret at the heart of this week's aptly titled Westworld episode, "Trompe L'Oeil." Bernard Lowe, the melancholy, mild-mannered heir apparent to mad genius Dr. Robert Ford, is in fact the scientist's creation, and not his protégé at all. Unfortunately for Theresa Cullen, who's staged a coup against both men (er, one man and one machine), she only has minutes to process this revelation before the park's founder orders his mechanical minion to kill her. Live by the droid, die by the droid.

[Warning: This story contains spoilers through episode six of HBO's Westworld.] Two episodes ago, Robert Ford (Anthony Hopkins) told Delos board representative Theresa Cullen (Sidse Babett Knudsen) that his new narrative would not be a retrospective: "I'm not the sentimental type." But perhaps Ford does not know his own heart as well as he knows the ins and outs of the world he's created. The sixth episode of Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy's series, called "The Adversary," reveals that Ford owns host versions of his own family — including a young version of himself, the same android

"I know you think that you have a handle on what this is gonna be: guns and tits and all that mindless shit that I usually enjoy. You have no idea." When Logan, a handsome, sleazy young veteran of multiple trips to Westworld, says this to his milquetoast first-timer companion William, he's ostensibly referring to misconceptions about the park. But for all his subsequent blather about the place helping you find "who you really are," who Logan really is turns out to be a guy who enjoys, well, guns and tits and mindless shit.

HBO’s long-anticipated drama “Westworld” made its debut last Sunday night to mostly rave reviews and 3.3 million viewers, the network’s biggest premiere ratings since “True Detective” three years ago.

I love a good ‘What makes a human, human?’ premise, so HBO already had my ticket with Westworld long before the first frame ever appeared in a trailer. And make no mistake: Despite the predilection of varmints, player pianos, and ye olde dialects, this is a story of science-fiction. So I expected the human “guests” to be morally bankrupt. I expected the robot “hosts” to be slowly waking up to the hell that is their existence. But what I didn’t expect is the creeping suspicion that not only is Westworld set in the future, it’s not even set on Earth. Warning: Spoilers And Speculation For Westworld Beyond This Point. In a way, the idea of setting Westworld off-planet shouldn’t be a surprise. Just look at it. The theme park itself is gargantuan, much of the land still virgin and untrod by guest or host.

Why, nature needs not what thou gorgeous wear’st,

You see me here, you gods, a poor old man,
As full of grief as age; wretched in both!
If it be you that stir these daughters’ hearts
Against their father, fool me not so much
To bear it tamely; touch me with noble anger,
And let not women’s weapons, water-drops,
Stain my man’s cheeks! No, you unnatural hags,
I will have such revenges on you both,
That all the world shall - I will do such things,

Like that long awaited locomotive pulling into Tucson for the first time, Westworld is finally here. Many at HBO have anticipated this day with just as much reverence and optimism as the 1880 denizens of that famous railroad town from the Old West, watching anxiously as the smoke clouds plumed beneath the fading Arizona light. Of course, in spite of the dust, horses, gunplay, and even coal-powered engine from that oft-romanticized era, Westworld is not a Western; nay, for all we know it’s not even located in North America.
Rather, this is the culmination of several years’ worth of work, reshoots, ballooning budgets, and the high expectations that come implicit for the prestige network, particularly when it...

"What does it mean to be human?" is the least interesting question science fiction can ask, though that hasn't stopped the genre from using tales of androids among us to ask it year after year. "What does it mean to be inhumane?" on the other hand? That's an inquiry worth exploring. To knowingly inflict pain on artificially intelligent machine-men (or machine-women, though that's a whole other issue) – when we treat them as slaves or toys or, to use Westworld's evocative term, "livestock" – that says a lot about us.

I'm really hoping that the behind-the-scenes troubles on HBO's new sci-fi series Westworld were just typical growing pains and not the first hints that this show could be full of conflicting visions, because each new trailer for it has been better than the previous ones. The network has just released a brand new trailer for the show, and it expands the scope even further while giving us a better look at both Anthony Hopkins and Evan Rachel Wood (who may end up being the "hero" of this show when all is said and done).
Once slated to debut back in 2015, Westworld will now premiere on October 2, and I can't wait to see it. Check out the trailer, and then read some detailed character descriptions below.
(A quick note: The trailer is labeled as "mature," but I'm not sure why. There's some obvious violence in there, but aside from that, I didn't see anything blatantly Nsfw.
