“Well, you know, there’s a certain quality and tonethat we were after,” MacLachlan explained. “You could sort of say in general terms, that fifties sensibility, that post-war, that a positive can-do [attitude]. ‘We can do anything. Look, we’re on the upswing.’ All those kinds of attitudes and that tone infected Hank, of course, and that’s a big part of who his character is.”
“So the tone of it really does influence the character,” he added. “I mean, it’s also who the character is and the values that he has going forward. But it was supported by what was around … He just was very proud of the way that Vault was performing and the way he looked, and that people took pride in their work. You know, they were there doing good things and good deeds. I guess that’s the impact it had, I think.”
What Is Fallout About?
While the show’s main characters – Lucy (Purnell), Maximus (Moten), and Cooper Howard (Goggins) – are entirely new, they fit certain archetypes established in the games. Lucy is a Vault Dweller, and the start of the series centers around her leaving her Vault for the very first time and heading to Los Angeles. Maximus is a squire of the Brotherhood of Steel, while Cooper is a bounty-hunting Ghoul. All three get a significant amount of screen time in today’s trailer, and it should give fans a better idea of the overall narrative.
“It’s an uncertain time in television. So the art form of season finales has become: provide enough closure, but leave the door open for more,” writer Graham Wagner told . “But we feel we’ve barely scratched the surface of the Fallout universe. We literally have documents and documents of stuff that we’re, in success, eager to dig into. Our fingers are crossed that we’re going to get the opportunity to do all that stuff.”
Fallout premieres on Amazon Prime Video on April 11th.
