“What are the odds and timing of both happening?” – one of the show’s stars told Joe.
fall out – Prime Video’s big-budget drama based on the popular post-apocalyptic sci-fi video game series – premieres on the streaming service this week after much anticipation.
The show, co-created and partially directed by Jonathan Nolan (“The Dark Knight,” “Westworld”), is described as a “story of the haves and have-nots” in a post-nuclear war world with next to nothing.
“Two hundred years after the apocalypse, the gentle residents of a luxury asylum (including series star Ella Purnell) are forced to return to the irradiated hellscape left by their ancestors and are shocked to discover an incredibly complex, bizarre And a highly violent universe awaits them,” the synopsis reads.
The nuclear element of “Fallout” is particularly interesting given the involvement of Jonathan Nolan, as the writer-director is also the brother of filmmaker Christopher Nolan, who won this year's Oscar for “Oppenheimer.” Oscar winner for Best Picture, the film details the creation of the first atomic bomb.
When Joe had the opportunity to speak with Fallout actors Kyle MacLachlan and Walton Goggins, we asked them if they considered the show a “thematic continuation” of Oppenheimer.
Goggins responded: “I don't think the irony is lost on anyone involved in this – one brother makes a movie or tells a story about the making of the atomic bomb, and then the other brother makes a movie or tells a story about the atomic bomb How likely is it that the fabricated story “Brother Dropped the Atomic Bomb?”
“Yeah, we've had that conversation a number of times in the process of making this – what are the possibilities and timing for both of them?”
Goggins, who plays a mutated gunfighter bounty hunter in Fallout, also spoke to Joe about the timeliness of the show's story of nuclear destruction.
“This is what us older guys have grown up with. We had all these drills in high school and junior high,” he said.
“Unfortunately, we thought we had put that time behind us. It's like a distant memory. But it's also part of the world we live in today.
“Jonah (Jonathan) has said this before, but when the show started being written, which was in 2019, it did feel like a distant memory and over the last three or four years the show has felt more and more Relevant, almost too relatable. It comes back into the conversation.”
The eight-episode first season of Fallout will premiere on Prime Video in the UK on April 11.
