Here's the original CBS network promo for the premiere episode of the (very) short-lived Beyond Westworldtelevision series from 1980. It starred Jim McMullan as Delos Security Chief John Moore, who had to stop a rogue roboticist named Quaid (James Wainright) from using the Delos robot technology to replace key political, military and corporate leaders and thus, conquer the world.
Sci-Fi Channel UK ran these. I'd say there's one good episode in there, maybe it was even better than FUTUREWORLD. Great concept, should've been better.
I only recently heard about this T.V. version. Out of all of the horrible remakes happening today, Westworld does need to be looked again. I'd go see an updated version, even though I love the original and Yul Brenner.
But I guess you could count The Simpsons "Itchy and Scratchy Island" as sort of a reboot, eh? LOL
WOW! I never knew that this existed!
ReplyDeleteI never had either. Looks more interesting than most of the new shows coming out this fall. Seriously.

That Simpsons episode was pretty good.
ReplyDeleteI never recall hearing about this show, I may have seen one ep but not sure. I am sure it is worth a look at today.
