Upcoming Series ‘Fallout’ – Jonathan Nolan’s Latest Endeavour
Jonathan’s next project is the drama series ‘Fallout,’ a new feather in his cap of adaptations. Based on the fan-favourite video game, Fallout is set to be one of the televisual highlights of the year. On the ‘Happy Sad Confused’ podcast, Jonathan recalled memories of his childhood with Christopher.
Similarities between Spielberg and Nolan
During the podcast, Jonathan mirrored the dedication and love for filmmaking that Christopher continually demonstrated, even during their early years. He likened this to the strikingly similar passion Steven Spielberg exhibited for the art. He commented on how, like Spielberg, their mother heavily influenced their interest in arts. Jonathan fondly remembered Christopher’s relentless pursuit of filmmaking, a journey that has undoubtedly motivated his own love for the craft.
The Anticipation Behind ‘Fallout’
Fallout is a new benchmark in Jonathan’s illustrious career. With streaming due to commence on April 11th on Amazon Prime, the show has already generated significant enthusiasm. This post-apocalyptic drama features Walton Goggins from ‘Justified’ in a demanding dual role.
The Optimistic Future of Video Game Adaptations
Regarding the often-debated quality of video game adaptations, Jonathan looks at the success of ‘The Last Of Us’ with optimism. He views it as a precursor that has paved the way for his upcoming show. He considered this a promising sign for the television adaptation of the widely popular video game, Fallout.
Video Games vs. Comic Books – A Changing Trend
Nolan expressed his belief that the younger generation relates more with video games than comic books. This conviction seems to have encouraged creators to tap into the potential of famous video games as a source for potential television series. This viewpoint was clearly outlined in his recent talk with ‘The Hollywood Reporter.’
The adaptation of the video game Fallout is well-timed. After the success of The Last of Us and the changing perspectives on video game adaptations, Fallout could further this progression. The series, set for streaming from April 11th, 2024, on Amazon Prime, is undoubtedly a promising contribution to television this year.
