Premium cable giant HBO is soon to throw its hat in that ring via Westworld, an adaptation of the 1973 cult classic sci-fi film of the same name.
For those unfamiliar with Westworld (1973), the film was written and directed by best-selling author Michael Crichton, and was his directorial debut.
Westworld premieres on October 2, 2016 at 9pm on HBO.
The plot concerned a futuristic adult-targeted theme park called Delos, in which Westworld was one of three areas that park patrons could pay big money to spend time in.
