Vandaag heb ik Prometheus gezien, en deze film word eigenlijk gestolen door acteer prestaties van Michael Fassbender als Android David 8. Maar Jon Spaihts de co writer van de film heeft nu zijn top acht gegeven van de beste film Androids ooit en daar staan een aantal bekenden bij. Maar ik vraag me af wie de film West World (of het vervolg Future World) kent?? Zo niet, doe eens snel download... kopen.

Gunslinger (Yul Brynner) from Westworld (1973)

Spaihts: "For pure terrifying-ness, although it hasn't aged well, I think Yul Brynner's hunter in Crichton's Westworld was really scary. One of the first times we saw an authentically humanoid android unmasked and saw a mechanized and hideous skull revealed beneath the skin, which prefigured the Terminator's revealed face. And again, although the film looks hokey in retrospect now, it was very scary in its time."

Another unique character, unfortunately forgotten in history as the film itself doesn't really stand the test of time nowadays, which Jon states. But still a great character to mention. The Gunslinger's appearance is based on Chris Adams, Yul Brynner's character from The Magnificent Seven (1960). The two characters' costumes are nearly identical. If you have never seen Westworld, now is the perfect time to check it out.
