‘Fallout’ First Look: This Is How the World Ends—With a Smiling Thumbs-Up
i read this whole thing! a few takeaways:
- was developed for tv by the westworld show creators; the showrunners wrote for captain marvel, tomb raider, portlandia, the office, silicon valley, and baskets
- one of the leads, lucy (ella purnell) from vault 33, is naive and “doe-eyed” and left the vault for a rescue mission
- the other leads will be a brotherhood of steel squire (aaron moten) and a bounty hunter ghoul (walton goggins)
- vault boy will be there – he even gets an origin story
- it’s set in los angeles
- todd howard was an executive producer on the show
- everything in the series is officially part of the lore. direct quote from the article: “We view what’s happening in the show as canon,” says Howard. “That’s what’s great, when someone else looks at your work and then translates it in some fashion.” He admits to being envious of some of the TV show’s interpretations and additions: “I sort of looked at it like, ‘Ah, why didn’t we do that?’”
- most of the characters are “chasing an artifact that has the potential to radically change the power dynamic in this world”
the article’s pretty cool and made me a cautiously hopeful about the show… we’ll see on april 2024 whether it’ll be good though
