Fallout TV Series Wasn’t Made To Please Fans, Creator Says
The upcoming Fallout TV series from Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy is not aiming to please fans and gamers. Trying to do that would be a “fool’s errand,” Nolan said during a recent event attended by T3. Instead, as a massive fan of the Fallout series himself, Nolan tried to make a show that made him happy, and he believes he has achieved that.
“I don’t think you really can set out to please the fans of anything,” he said. “Or please anyone other than yourself. 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 to do the best version.”
Nolan is a huge fan of the Fallout series, starting with Fallout 3. That game “devoured about a year of my life,” he said. “It almost derailed my entire career. It’s so ludicrously playable and fun… seriously, the games were just incredible,” he said.
