War by no means modifications, however status TV positive can. Today, Bethesda introduced that Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy, creators of HBO’s Westworld, are taking their cinematic lens to Fallout, working with Amazon Studios to create a post-apocalyptic telly present primarily based on the long-running nuke ’em up RPG. Hold on, although – a darkly comedian present about robotic cowboys, deserts and conspiracies? Sounds fairly a leap for the oldsters behind Westworld.
Amazon Studios – the oldsters producing this entire factor – revealed {that a} Fallout telly present is within the works with a teaser on Twitter. It’s a bit fuzzy, thoughts – let me know if anybody works out which Ink Spots tune that is.

Simply titled “Fallout”, the present is being headed up by Westworld creators Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy, with Bethesda’s Todd Howard and James Altman on board as government producers. It’s far too early to scrape collectively plot deets, however a Bethesda announcement suggests a present that’s “serious and harsh” in tone, peppered with “ironic humour”, “B-movie-nuclear-fantasies”, and many guff about how battle, battle by no means modifications. Probably.
I haven’t seen Westworld (nor do I truly personal a TV proper now) however it does look awfully Fallout, yeah? Robot gunslingers are mainly the driving aesthetic of Fallout: New Vegas, and I thoughts the personhood of artificial people being a giant a part of Fallout 4‘s whole deal. You could make a meta-commentary on the theme-park layout of Bethesda’s open worlds being analogous to the literal theme-park setting of the HBO collection, however that is likely to be stretching it a bit.
Regardless, it’ll be attention-grabbing to see how Fallout makes the transition. Videogame movies are famously naff, however TV collection’ are tougher to pin down – in all probability attributable to how few of them ever see the sunshine of day (what’s up, Halo?). That Witcher show on Netflix was fairly good, although, and with a brush as broad as Fallout’s, there’s a lotta scope for the way a wasteland collection may play out.
Despite the tease, anticipate it to be some time earlier than we catch the jolly ol’ wasteland on Amazon Prime Video. There’s no phrase of a date on the Fallout collection, and the Kilter pair have solely simply began pre-production on William Gibson novel adaptation The Peripheral. As with battle, contractual commitments by no means change.
