ANTHONY HOPKINS IN
'WESTWORLD' SF TV SERIES
In the whole avalanche of movie actors and Oscar winners moving over to the small screens, the latest name is Anthony Hopkins: he will star in HBO's and J.J. Abrams' science fiction pilot series WESTWORLD television adaptation of Michael Crichton bestseller. In the series set in a futuristic theme park populated with robots and androids who malfunction and attack the guests, Hopkins will play Dr. Robert Ford, the brilliant, taciturn and complicated Creative Director, Chief Programmer and Chairman of the Board of WESTWORLD who has unorthodox methods of achieving his visions. Evan Rachel Wood will play Dolores Abernathy, provincial, beautiful and kind farm girl of the frontier West who is about to discover that her entire idyllic existence is an elaborately constructed lie.
'KILLJOYS' SF TV SERIES
GETS LUKE MACFARLANE AND AARON ASHMORE IN THE CAST
And since it seems it is a sf day at HOLLYWOOD SPY, check out this piece of science fiction news: sometime ago I've announced
that SyFy is preparing ten episodes series KILLJOYS a new intergalactic
adventure! Now they have lead actors: Luke MacFarlane (BROTHERS AND
SISTERS), Aaron Ashmore (SMALLVILLE) and Hannah John Kamen. In a distant
Galaxy, the people of the planet Qresh have colonized their three
moons, creating four stratified worlds, each defined along
socio-economic lines and rife with social unrest. In this planetary
unit, known as the Quad, a highly regulated group of bounty hunters,
KILLJOYS, are licensed to pursue a vast range of warrants throughout the
galaxy. Killjoys are not allowed to take a personal or political side
in their mission, which proves to be impossible and near fatal for
Dutch. Dutch (Hannah John Kamen) is a gorgeous, compli- cated and deadly
Killjoy at the top of her game. Her partner, John the Bastard (Aaron
Ashmore, is a peace maker who hates conflict. When John’s incredibly
sexy and confident brother D’avin (Luke Macfarlane) shows up to join the
partners, the dysfunctional trio’s lives become intertwined. Confined
to close quarters, Dutch, John, and D’avin quickly find themselves
caught in a tricky love triangle.
