[Warning: This story contains spoilers from episode seven of HBO's Westworld.] "That doesn't look like anything to me." As Bernard (Jeffrey Wright) utters these words, staring at schematics for a robot that looks an awful lot like the man himself — schematics that he himself can't even see — the truth quickly becomes apparent: the brilliant programmer of hosts is actually a host himself. It's easily the biggest turn yet for Jonathan "Jonah" Nolan and Lisa Joy's genre-bending thriller, not only in its revelation of Bernard's true nature, but also in how it reveals Robert Ford (Anthony

The Westworld team, preparing to shoot the pilot for the HBO series inspired by Michael Crichton’s 1973 sci-fi thriller, are taking the trickle-down approach to casting announcements, releasing a few names in bursts. Ed Harris has now been revealed as the main villain, with Ptolemy Slocum also aboard in an unspecified role.Harris will be playing The Man In Black, described in the Hollywood Reporter’s story as the distillation of pure villainy into one person. The series will draw from similar themes as the film, exploring the idea of dawning consciousness among artificial people and the sinful excesses of mankind, all set within an adult theme park where the attractions start to rise up against the people who believe they’re in control.Harris and the wonderfully-named Slocum join a cast that already boasts Jeffrey Wright, Rodrigo Santoro, Shannon Woodward, Ingrid Bolso Berdal, Angela Sarafyan, Simon Quarterman, James Marsden,...

The androids at the adult amusement park Westworld began to think for themselves one day, with murderous results. In the late Michael Crichton’s 1973 directorial debut Westworld, the beginning of independent artificial intelligence means the end for some humans. Inspired by Crichton’s film and also titled Westworld, HBO’s upcoming pilot just added Ed Harris to its A-list cast.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Ed Harris has signed on to play a villain in HBO’s Westworld, described as “a dark odyssey about the dawn of artificial consciousness and the future of sin.” Harrris will play a character called “The Man in Black”, described as “the distillation of pure villainy into one man.” The cast also includes Anthony Hopkins, Evan Rachel Wood, James Marsden, Shannon Woodward, and Jeffrey Wright. We have the backgrounds of the other core characters (via The Hollywood Reporter):

Today in perfect casting: Ed Harris is set to play the "distillation of pure villainy" in HBO's "Westworld." The three-time Academy Award nominee has joined producer J.J. Abrams' upcoming sci-fi series as the ominously-monikered Man in Black, joining previously-cast stars including Anthony Hopkins, Evan Rachel Wood, Jeffrey Wright, Rodrigo Santoro, Shannon Woodward, James Marsden and Kyle Bornheimer, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Jonathan Nolan ("Person of Interest") is set to executive produce and direct the pilot from a script he co-wrote with fellow executive producer Lisa Joy ("Burn Notice"). Described as "a dark odyssey about the dawn of artificial consciousness and the future of sin," the series was inspired by "Jurassic Park" novelist Michael Crichton's 1973 sci-fi film of the same name. Crichton wrote and directed the film, which centered on a group of vacationers struggling to survive a deadly robot malfunction at a futuristic Western-themed adult amusement park.

Like you, I predicted most of this morning's Oscar nominees -- but that doesn't mean I'm too proud to spew a little bile. Here are my five nominees for "Most Annoying Nominee." Maybe I'll get Roberto Benigni to unveil the winner and spray him/her with seltzer later next month.
1. Rooney Mara in The Girl I Ignore at the Dmv
Forget that The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo is just a PBS Masterpiece whodunit disguised with Nordic permafrost and Hot Topic gift cards. Focus on the more obvious weirdness: Rooney Mara’s performance as the titular inkee adds no depth or urgency to Stieg Larsson’s flatly rendered savant. She adds facial symmetry, which is appreciated, but I came away from David Fincher’s pretty hate machine wondering how people like my parents devoured Lisbeth Salander’s boring vindictive streak for three straight tomes.There’s no there there! Just costuming,...

Julius Ceasar was supposedly warned that something bad would happen to him prior to or on
"the Ides of March" -- aka March 15, an ancient Roman term believed to have heralded a new moon and dedicated to the god Mars. Hence William Shakespeare's whole "Beware the Ides of March" line in the play "Julius Ceasar." Turns out it was good, if useless, advice. On March 15, 44 B.C., the Roman ruler was stabbed 23 times in the Roman senate.
In case you don't remember, here's a reasonable facsimile from HBO's awesome, yet sadly gone, drama "Rome":
For George Clooney, however, "Ides of March" -- the movie he's directing and starring in about an "idealistic campaign staffer who gets a crash course on dirty politics" -- will likely bring better fortune in the form of critical acclaim and box office returns.
The movie boasts a heavyweight cast -- Ryan Gosling, Marisa Tomei,...

On the heels of his arrest, Josh Brolin stepped out for the premiere of Frozen River Tuesday, but avoided reporters and politely declined to pose for photographs. "Sorry, I'm kind of in a bad predicament right now!" Brolin, 40, told photographers with a smile, after he arrived at the West Hollywood event with his two children minutes before the movie started. He attended the premiere to support the film's star, Melissa Leo, a longtime friend and a costar in a TV show they did together. On Saturday, Brolin also was spotted with Sean Penn, Robin Wright Penn and director Oliver Stone...
