Can't wait! LOVED the original movie.

I'm sold on the trailer but still don't really get what the story's about after reading some synopses.

It's put me in the mood to watch the original again myself really. The original was more or less a theme park with three different areas immersive like a Sandals on steroids, then the androids go ballistic and you have a malfunctioning Yul Brynner killing people.

It was pretty much Jurrasic Park theme park, meets the Terminator, meets Game of Thrones bebauchery, way before any of those existed.

Probably one of the reasons Fantasy Island was so popular in the 70's when it came out a few years later, it was sort of Westworld Lite for TV.

HBO does not usually do remakes, I usually am not a big fan of them myself, but I'm going to be watching this one. Especially being a series, is a lot of room to run with that one.

I am excited, the movie was a classic (and the first movie to use computer generated visual effects for the plot).

Looking forward to it based on potential, but the long delays are a bad sign. Any project that has been in development this long, has had production shut down and release date moved back an entire year is having some major problems.

Completely didn't recognize Evan Rachel Wood. Last saw her in Simone...

Wonder if HBO's servers will melt down, am looking forward to watching this.

HBO spent a ton of $ on this series, nice.

Really interesting show, lots of small details.

On one of the "resets" the piano plays Black Hole Sun, thought that was cool.
