A new trailer for HBO's highly-anticipated sci-fi western series "Westworld" has been released, and it asks, "Have you ever questioned the nature of your reality?" Well, have you.

Based on Michael Crichton's cult 1973 film of the same name, the upcoming series features an all-star cast that includes Evan Rachel Wood, Anthony Hopkins, Thandie Newton, James Marsden, Jeffrey Wright, Rodrigo Santoro, Angela Sarafyan, and Ed Harris as a mysterious cybernetic gunslinger.

Developed by writer/producer Jonathan Nolan (Person of Interest, The Dark Knight) and producer Lisa Joy (Burn Notice) and executive produced by J.J. Abrams and the late, legendary producer Jerry Weintraub, the 10-episode futuristic drama takes place inside a state-of-the-art amusement park, where adults pay to live out western-themed virtual fantasies. But when some of the android models began to malfunction, things take a dark and violent turn.

Though originally intended for an earlier release, "Westworld" was pushed back due to a brief production break, giving additional time to revise some of the storylines. The series is now slated to premiere in October. But fans can likely expect a proper promotional push at Comic-Con in July.
