I'm cautiously optimistic. The original is pretty nightmarish and it sounds like this is going to go even further in that direction, which is exactly what I would hope for. And the cast is stellar (Ed Harris! Ingrid Bolso Berdal! Anthony Hopkins! Jeffrey Wright! Rodrigo Santoro! Clifton Collins Jr.!). But Jonathan Nolan gives me major pause. We'll see. I'm very curious.

Wow. That is one epic cast. How the hell did Jonathan Nolan pull together a cast like that?

Thank you for the confirmation. I don't know how else I would have confirmed this but on RM!

Man, this looks amazing. The character Ed Harris plays sounds like a epic role and perfect casting. Can't wait.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Yeah I have to say I was let down by that casting choice as well. Nevertheless, my DVR is set for Sunday night. Reviews so far have been solid....

So this is Jurassic Park with robot cowboys, right? I'm not watching any other Tv shows right now, so I'm sure I'll watch the whole first season.
