The
eight-episode live-action show comes from husband-and-wife duo
Nolan and Lisa Joy, who previously created the hit series "Westworld",
and centers on three main characters; vault dweller Lucy MacLean
(Ella Purnell), Maximus, a member of the Brotherhood of Steel
(Aaron Moten) and mutated bounty hunter The Ghoul (Walton
Goggins).
Set in the wasteland of Los Angeles some 200 years after a
nuclear armageddon, it sees Lucy resurfacing from the vaults
from the first time in her life and leaning on her skills, wits,
and values to survive in a world very different from hers.
Traversing the hostile terrain in search of her father (Kyle
MacLachlan), Lucy crosses paths with Maximus and The Ghoul, each
on a mission of their own.
Nolan, who co-wrote several of his brother Christopher Nolan's
films, including "Interstellar" and "The Dark Knight", also
directed the show's first three episodes.
"I think it's very similar to the games in the sense that each
game in the franchise connects to this larger universe but each
game has a new setting, a new set of characters and a new story.
And just like that, our series is a new story with new
characters but set in this larger universe," Nolan, 47, said.
"For myself, the fun of it was having loved the games and being
passionate about them, I was excited to try to bring reality in
terms of large on-location impactful photography and building
all the creatures, building all the stunts, the power armour ...
It was just like being a kid in a candy shop."
"Fallout" starts streaming on Prime Video on April 11.
