Westworld promotes season 2 with spooky lifelike robot in London

Promoters of Westworld spooked unsuspecting Londoners with a freakishly lifelike robot last month ahead of the American sci-fi Western thriller’s season two premiere, Syfy Wire reports. Fred, who is based on a real London resident, was seen sitting casually at a city pub, starting conversations and even making jokes. It was all a publicity stunt by the service streaming the show in Britain, with hidden cameras to capture the poor pub goers’ reactions. “Do you want to meet your maker?” Fred asks a frightened customer (watch, runtime: 01:42). Westworld is now airing in the Middle East on OSN.
