Nolan’s Nervous Excitement

Filmmaker Jonathan Nolan shares his mix of nerves and excitement as he undertakes the adaptation of the beloved post-apocalyptic video game series Fallout for television.

A Collaborative Effort

Teaming up with his wife, Lisa Joy, the duo behind Westworld, Nolan brings Fallout to the small screen with an eight-episode live-action series.

Introducing the Characters

The show centers around three main characters: vault dweller Lucy MacLean (portrayed by Ella Purnell), Brotherhood of Steel member Maximus (played by Aaron Moten), and mutated bounty hunter The Ghoul (brought to life by Walton Goggins).

Setting the Scene

Set in the wasteland of Los Angeles, 200 years post-nuclear armageddon, the series follows Lucy’s journey as she emerges from the vaults for the first time, navigating a drastically changed world in search of her father, portrayed by Kyle MacLachlan.

Nolan’s Direction

Having co-written and directed acclaimed films like Interstellar and The Dark Knight, Jonathan Nolan takes the helm as director for the first three episodes of the Fallout series.

Staying True to the Franchise

Nolan emphasizes the show’s fidelity to the games’ universe, with each installment connecting to a larger narrative while introducing new settings, characters, and stories.

Bringing the Games to Life

Drawing from his passion for the Fallout games, Nolan expresses his joy in recreating the series’ iconic elements, from expansive landscapes to intricate creatures and stunts, likening the experience to that of a child in a candy shop.
