Warner Bros. Developing New Westworld Film With David Koepp Writing

The early-stage reboot signals a fresh push for the Crichton property as Warner Bros. navigates major corporate changes.

Overview

  • Warner Bros.’ Westworld feature, which surfaced Monday in trade reports, will be written by David Koepp.
  • Variety and TheWrap say no director is attached, countering earlier reports that a “major filmmaker” was circling.
  • David Koepp told Polygon that Steven Spielberg is not involved and said the timing of their separate projects is a coincidence.
  • There is no synopsis, cast, release date, or announced link to HBO’s canceled four-season series, keeping continuity questions open.
  • Variety reports the studio’s pending sale to Paramount Skydance could interrupt development plans and timing for the project.
