The Fallout TV series’s Executive Producer, Jonathan Nolan, has said the freedom given to the project makes it feel like it’s .
The latest issue of Total Film magazine features an interview with Nolan, and he speaks about conversations with Bethesda’s Todd Howard where it was decided the show will have its own canonical space in the world of Fallout, and as such says it’s “almost like we’re Fallout 5”.
Nolan likens it to working on The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises with his brother Christopher Nolan.
“Fallout, in my career, is closest to the work we did in adapting Batman, where there’s so much storytelling in the Batman universe that there is no canonical version of it, so you’re free to invent your own.”
Nolan then goes on to add, “Each of the [Fallout] games is a discrete story – different city, distinct protagonist – within the same mythology. Our series sits in relation to the games as the games sit in relation to each other. It’s almost like we’re Fallout 5. I don’t want to sound presumptuous, but it’s just a non-interactive version of it, right?”
The interview also features Nolan’s thoughts on following the success of HBO’s The Last of Us. there’s also an exclusive new image from the show, which you can see below.
The television series will feature Geneva Robertson-Dworet and Graham Wagner as showrunners. Robertson-Dworet has writing credits on Captain Marvel and the 2018 Tomb Raider film, while Wagner has experience as an executive producer on Portlandia, Silicon Valley, and Baskets. Jonathan Nolan is set to direct the premiere. Kyle MacLachlan, Xelia Mendes-Jones, Aaron Moten, Ella Purnell, and Walton Goggins have all been confirmed for the show.
“Based on one of the greatest video game series of all time, Fallout is the story of haves and have-nots in a world in which there’s almost nothing left to have,” reads the synopsis. “200 years after the apocalypse, the gentle denizens of luxury fallout shelters are forced to return to the irradiated hellscape their ancestors left behind — and are shocked to discover an incredibly complex, gleefully weird, and highly violent universe waiting for them.”
Fallout launches on Prime Video on April 12, 2024.
