Warner Bros. Reboots Westworld as a Feature Film Written by David Koepp

The move signals a reset following HBO's cancellation.

Overview

  • Warner Bros. is developing a new Westworld movie based on Michael Crichton’s 1973 film, with Jurassic Park screenwriter David Koepp attached to write.
  • The project is a fresh reboot of the original movie rather than a continuation of HBO’s 2016–2022 series.
  • The studio has not named a director or cast, and it has not set a release date or confirmed any links to the TV storyline.
  • HBO canceled the series in 2022 after sharp viewership declines, and Warner Bros. Discovery later pulled it from Max and licensed it to free services like Tubi and the Roku Channel.
  • Co-creator Jonathan Nolan has said he wants to finish the TV story, though the film reboot makes a return for the series less likely for now.
