Luca Nemolato, a conceptual artist on HBO's hit "Westworld", has shared his early concept art of the robotic version of a young Robert Ford (Oliver Bell). The art features the metal interior of the young boy's face.
The robotic version of young Ford was seen in the sixth episode of the first season, titled "The Advisary". Dr. Ford (Anthony Hopkins) showed up when Bernard (Jeffrey Wright) was investigating Sector 17 and he came across unmonitored hosts living in a cabin. Ford then called over his younger robotic self as he began explaining to Bernard that those are the first generation hosts of his family that the park's deceased co-founder, Arnold, built for him as a gift. He gave it a voice command that made the boy's face come apart, showing its metal part.
"Westworld" stars Evan Rachel Wood as Dolores Abernathy, Ed Harris as The Man in Black, James Marsden as Teddy Flood, Thandie Newton as Maeve Millay, Tessa Thompson as Charlotte Hale, Sidse Babett Knudsen as Theresa Cullen, Jimmi Simpson as William, Rodrigo Santoro as Hector Escaton, Shannon Woodward as Elsie Hughes, Ingrid Bolso Berdal as Armistice, Ben Barnes as Logan, Angela Sarafyan as Clementine Pennyfeather, Luke Hemsworth as Ashley Stubbs and Clifton Collins, Jr. as Lawrence.
The series was penned and executive produced by Jonathan Nolan ("Interstellar", "The Dark Knight") and Lisa Joy ("Pushing Daisies", "Burn Notice"), with Nolan also directing the series. It was inspired by the 1973 motion picture of the same name, which was written and directed by Michael Crichton.
"Westworld" season 2 will premiere in 2018 on HBO.
