Are you prepared to reenter the wasteland? The first trailer for Amazon Prime Video's live-action adaptation of the Fallout video game franchise has been released, providing a glimpse of what to expect when the series premieres early next year. Based on the thrilling two-and-a-half minutes, fans of the games will feel right at home.
The trailer introduces Lucy (Ella Purnell), a vault-dweller who has lived her entire life inside Vault 33 in California. She has never experienced the wasteland or seen the outside world until she embarks on her adventure.
Lucy is featured as one of the three main characters in the series. Additionally, the trailer introduces Maximus (Aaron Moten), a member of the Brotherhood of Steel faction from the games. The character of The Ghoul (Walton Goggins) is also introduced, who was alive before the nuclear bombs destroyed the United States and has survived the 200 years since, becoming an iconic bounty hunter. The trailer also showcases his life as Cooper Howard before the world ended, providing a glimpse of the vastly different United States of America compared to our real world.
In a roundtable interview with Our Website, showrunner Jonathan Nolan discussed the exploration of Fallout's version of America before and after the bombs fell.
The world of America portrayed in the games is an idealized version of America, set in the Eisenhower era without the scandals and cultural shifts of that time. The Fallout games depict a world frozen in the 1940s, with distinct factions like the Brotherhood of Steel vying for control in the post-apocalyptic wasteland.
"Meeting them, we don't know if the Brotherhood of Steel is good or bad, and that's one of the things that Aaron's character, Maximus, is exploring," Nolan commented.
Fallout will be available on Prime Video starting April 24.
