All our guests are here for you,” a woman says to William (Jimmi Simpson) in the trailer, introducing him to the theme park inhabited by robots that can die and be recreated as new AI creations with altered personalities. “In this world, you can be whoever you want,” Maeve Millay (Thandie Newton) tells cowboy Teddy Flood (James Marsden).
