Where video game movies failed, TV series have stepped in to pick up the mantle. The latest is an Amazon Original Fallout TV series being made by the creators of Westworld. Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy, who created the dark HBO series about an AI theme park, are now turning to the post-apocalyptic world of the Fallout games to make a ?harsh? new TV series that explores the retro futuristic wasteland that provides the backdrop of the franchise. Nolan and Joy?s Kilter Films production company has apparently been give a ?substantial series commitment.?
Variety reports that the Amazon Original series will maintain the ?harsh tone? of the Fallout games, but will also be ?sprinkled with moments of ironic humor and B-movie-nuclear-fantasies,? a kind of dark humor that pervades the Fallout series. It?s unknown what the exact setting of the series will be. The Fallout games have each explored different regions of America at various time periods after the bombs fell and wiped out life as we know it, and the creators haven?t announced if it will be adapting an existing setting like New Vegas or the Commonwealth, or if it will be telling a whole new tale somewhere in this world.
