Amazon Greenlights Fallout’ TV Adaptation from Westworld’ Creators
Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy have set their sights on creating another expansive sci-fi series.
The “Westworld" duo are developing a show at Amazon based on the “Fallout" video game franchise. Their Kilter Films banner is producing the project which has been handed a substantial series commitment.
The “Fallout" series, which began in 1997 with the original game, is set in a world where the future envisioned by Americans in the late 1940s explodes upon itself through a nuclear war in 2077. With their Amazon project, Nolan and Joy will look to bring “the harshness of the wasteland set against the previous generation’s utopian idea of a better world through nuclear energy," to the small screen. The project will look to retain the games’ “harsh tone," which making sure it is still “sprinkled with moments of ironic humor and B-movie-nuclear-fantasies" which players of the epic franchise know and love.
It can’t be as bad as Fallout 76, right?
