Nolan is set to direct the premiere of the series, which is slated to begin production in 2022. Geneva Robertson-Dworet (Captain Marvel) and Graham Wagner (Silicon Valley) have come aboard as showrunners.

Amazon Prime has been hitting my interests perfectly lately. Wheel of Time, Lord of the Rings, Invincible, The Boys, and now Fallout. I never could really get into the games (preferred the settings in Elder Scrolls games), but I think it would make a great setting for a series. Can’t wait.

 

[THE DUCK]

This could be great, that time period coupled with post apoc is great for a series.

Is anyone working on something for bioshock?

Damn, I had no idea this was happening at all. Could be cool.

 

[KungFucius]

I have a feeling this is going to be some weird-ass shit. Bring it on!

This looks to have some real potential. Jonathan has limited directorial experience, but I do remember liking Bicameral Mind a lot. He also seems to be Christopher's writing partner. So that can't be anything but good.

Fallout seems like it could be a really interesting TV show if the post-apocalypse genre wasn't thoroughly run into the ground during the zombie craze. That said, it's always nice to see video game shows/movies getting proper production pushes. The director looks solid. Having him doing some writing is also going to help. Now they need to ensure the budget is there.

Sounds interesting. I wonder if an episode will crash halfway through and you have to reload it?
Seriously though, I’d probably watch it.

Bioshock would make a great TV series or movie but apparently filming anywhere near water is expensive as shit. Though I have no clue how they would film such a setting today.

 

[Gameplaylover]

Interesting, never heard of it.

How will they make sure that bugs appear in the show? I've been told that they are part of the "charme" of the Fallout games.

Let's see if Amazon manages to create something Fallout related interesting to me.

 

[Sosokrates]

Jonathan Nolan!

 

[Starfield]

I have a feeling the setting will be New York

James Cameron and Steven Spielberg both lamented the difficulties of filming on the water. The Abyss and Jaws were infamously difficult productions. A Bioshock film is going to be a tough sell without the push of a big name director. The best I'd expect is ScyFy-budget effects on a small set.

Except the Bioshock water would be CGI and it wouldn’t take place on the surface of the water. But in structures that are underwater. Not exactly a good comparison.

Given the shocking quality drop-off of Westworld in season 2 this could really go either way.

yup Bioshock doesnt take place in water.

its in a aquarium. that can all be green screen.

I think its going to be based on Fallout 3. Vault 101, Megaton, the enclave poisoning the water, ect. Maybe we will get a Liam Neeson cameo.
