Howdy pardners, it would appear as if a new guest is fixin' to catch a train into HBO's ambitious sci-fi drama series WESTWORLD for the show's third season. Iffin' you're wonderin' about who that might be, come a little bit closer and I'll whipser his name to ye, and my apologies iffin' my whiskers brush the helix of your ear. French actor Vincent Cassel of BLACK SWAN and William Eubank's upcoming UNDERWATER thriller is your man, and the newsies over as Deadline are claimin' that he could play a series regular. On top'a that, there's also talk about Cassel arrivin' as a new villain for the series. As per his bein' hired to star in the show, Cassel will join BREAKING BAD alum Aaron Paul and MASTER OF NONE breakout Lena Waithe for all'a the sci-fi shenanigans, once the show makes its triumphant return.
Created for television by Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy, based on Michael Crichton’s 1973 movie, WESTWORLD tells a frightenin' and epic campfire tale about the evolution of artificial consciousness and the birth of a new lifeform on Earth. You know those stories about doomsday and the robot apocalypse? Yeah, it all starts in Westworld, thanks to the irresponsible varmints that run the joint. Let it be known that hubris will always lead to ruin, my friends.
“We’re incredibly excited to work with Vincent Cassel,” Nolan and Joy reckoned. “We’ve been longtime fans of his and are thrilled for him to join the Westworld team.”
Now, I don't mean to disappoint ye, but it sounds as if we'll have to wait until 2020 for WESTWORLD to mosey on back to HBO. I know, I feel as if someone put shit in my shoes with that one as well. Truth be told though, those amount of ticks on the old clock will only serve to give the show's creatives more time to assure that it's a rootin' tootin' good time when it arrives. In other words, sit tight, cowpokes.
