The runtime of the clip is 2 minutes and 17 seconds, which is much too lengthy for a trailer with no dialogue. Set to Lou Reed’s “Excellent Day,” it's primarily a creepy, complicated music video starring Ed Harris.
Somewhat than having a standard launch, the preview was deliberate as an Easter egg for followers to find. It started circulating on-line on Monday night, and HBO shared it on YouTube shortly thereafter. It’s medically not possible to find out what is definitely happening on this trailer, however it’s protected to imagine the track selection is supposed to be ironic.
Viewers are transported to a bleak, dystopian model of New York Metropolis. A tree spontaneously combusts earlier than Jeffrey Wright’s unhappy eyes and perpetually furrowed forehead. An unidentifiable determine is shot down by a flurry of machine gun hearth. A swarm of bugs flies out of the pried-open mouth of a bunch whose face is fractured cleanly into a number of items. Tessa Thompson seems to be attractive in an elegant white sweater gown! Positive, considered one of these items just isn't like the opposite, however it needed to be stated.
There are many acquainted faces along with Harris, Wright, and Thompson. Evan Rachel Wooden is again as Dolores. Thandiwe Newton, Luke Hemsworth, Angela Sarafyan, and Aaron Paul are all returning, as effectively. Eagle-eyed followers additionally identified a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it look from a brand new forged member—Oscar winner and West Facet Story star Ariana DeBose.
The video is titled “It doesn’t appear to be something to me,” after Wright’s oft-repeated line from the present, although the identify works on a number of ranges since that’s what a lot of the web is left pondering after watching it.
Leisure editor Morgan Baila tweeted, “I watched all three seasons of westworld. wrote about a couple of. I couldn't probably clarify ONE factor occurring on this season 4 trailer.”In the meantime, journalist Louis Peitzman wrote, “Apparently I’ve by accident stumbled into the universe the place Westworld was by no means canceled and there’s one other season popping out. That’s the one clarification for what’s happening right here.”
It’s been two years because the final installment of the trippy sci-fi collection aired, ending with Dolores sacrificing herself and presumably dying. (I needed to Wikipedia this as a result of, as beforehand established, I didn’t even know there was a season three of Westworld till this morning.) Nevertheless, Wooden is clearly again and enjoying a outstanding function within the new teaser, suggesting that her character has been resurrected one way or the other—the primary main reveal of the upcoming season.
