HBO’sWestworldAdds New Cast Member, AlsoWestworldIs Still Happening

Lili Simmons ( Banshee , True Detective ) has joined the cast of HBO ’s upcoming and extremely promise idiot box remake of Westworld , which is really good news for citizenry who want to see Westworld . The J.J. Abrams - produced show has resume output after a respite late last class , mean it ’s on its way … eventually .

To be fair , the hiatus was announce as being used to work on rewrite the scripts for the last four episodes of the serial ’ first season , but rumour have indicate some conflict between HBO and showrunner Jonathan Nolan . From a February THR article :

Initially give rise with Warners ’ television receiver product arm , HBO took back control after what generator call skirmish with creator Jonathan Nolan , whose TV credit is the WBTV - produced Person of Interest on CBS . ( HBO ordinarily makes its own programming but works with Warners on The Leftovers . ) Nolan is say to be every morsel as curb as his movie maker brother Chris . Sources say cut came in easy , scripts started running behind , and it became apparent that episodes already shot needed tweaks requiring additional filming . Since stopping production , HBO persuaded Nolan to “ put aside his self , ” one source enounce , and has brought in two additional manufacturer and two more writer .

aboveboard , I was begin to have my doubts that we ’d ever see Westworld , although I suppose HBO has spent enough money on it at this point that they have to terminate it to recoup something . At the very least , HBO would n’t be hiring unexampled form members if they were determined to get this thing finished and on the air … at least for now .
