澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Fallout TV show director Jonathan Nolan has explained that he approached the video game ad🔥aptation with the intention of pleasing original fans of t꧋he franchise.

While speaking at a recent press event (via ), Nolan said t♔hat going into the Prime Video series with the sole aim of appeasing fans of the games would have been "a fool's errand".

"I don't think you really can set out to please the fans of anything," he continued. "Or please anyone other than your⛦self. I think you have to come into this trying to make the show that you want to make and trusting that, as fans of the game [ourselves], we would find the pieces that were essential to us... and try t🍨o do the best version."

Set in a retrof𒈔uturistic apocalyptic version of Los Angeles, Fallout sees survivors forced to live in underground bunkers to stay safe from radiation, mutants, and bandits – and preserve humanity in the event of a full-blown nuclear apocalypse. The cast includes Yellow💯jackets' Ella Purnell, Walton Goggins, Kyle MacLachlan, Leslie Uggams, Zach Cherry, and Matt Berry.

The show was developed by Nolan and Lisa Joy, the brains behind Westworld, and is based on the video game franchise of the same name. The first installment was released back in 1997, with four sequels and multiple spin-offs following. A new game, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Fallout 5, is currently in development. 

All eight episodes of Fallout will arrive on Prime Video on April 11. In the meantime, check out our guide to the other biggest 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:new TV shows on the way in 2024.
