I was actually invited to an advanced screening of “Westworld” but\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>unfortunately\u00a0<\/span>had to decline due to schedule and logistics, you know, the whole <\/span>“night shift” <\/i>thing.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
BUT <\/b>I still wanted to write about it (before the premiere episode) because- well I’m looking forward to seeing it! I first heard about the TV series from Paul’s Uncle who came home from the US recently. We were talking about <\/span><\/a>“The Magnificent Seven”<\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/b>\u00a0and then he mentions “Westworld” and how he wants to see it.\u00a0THEN <\/b>just earlier I was with my cousins and my Tito David Hontiveros<\/span><\/a><\/b>\u00a0(-oh you know the Palanca award winning writer) says that he’s also <\/i>looking forward to the series. So with glowing recommendations (from my Uncles-no less) I was also looking forward to the series.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
No, this is not a review of the first episode as I will be seeing it with the rest of the world during it’s premiere in a few hours, but more of a piece where I talk about the series and look into its history.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
Based on the 1973 film of the same title, HBO’s “Westworld” is produced by J.J. Abrams, Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy takes place in a “Western theme park” occupied by humanoid robots (Cowboys and Indians-the whole shebang) where guests can get to have that “Wild, Wild West\u00a0experience” because we’ve all wanted to be a cowboy (or a cowgirl) once in our lives right?\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
