Koepp To Write A “Westworld” Movie Remake

“Jurassic Park” screenwriter David Koepp is penning a new take on Michael Crichton’s 1973 feature film “Westworld”.

Deadline reports that Koepp is going back to the original film as his template rather than the recent and acclaimed HBO series of the same name.

Yul Brynner, Richard Benjamin and James Brolin starred in that film about an adult fantasy park that allows monied guests with a desire for the Old West to go up against robots wielding six-guns.

The vacation turns nightmarish when a crack-shot robot malfunctions and starts killing guests for real.

While the original was at MGM, this one is for Warner Bros. which also owns HBO series.

Koepp is writing the script with a major filmmaker said to be circling. Koepp most recently penned Spielberg’s upcoming film “Disclosure Day”.
