Amazon’s new Fallout trailer seems similar to the video games: grim, goofy, and grotesque

It’s nonetheless too early to say if Amazon’s live-action tackle Fallout will likely be any good. However the primary few trailers not less than make one factor clear: the present looks as if it’s nailing the distinct vibe of the video games.

The newly launched second trailer follows numerous the identical beats as the primary, monitoring a Vault Dweller named Lucy (Ella Purnell) heading out into the Wasteland solely to find how harmful issues have turn out to be two centuries after the apocalypse. The present seems gritty and violent, as you’d anticipate from a post-apocalyptic collection, but in addition balances that out with a goofy humorousness and playfully retrofuturistic type. Working example: a Mister Orderly bot that merely needs to reap Lucy’s organs. No massive deal.

Other than that, the trailer is stuffed with basic Fallout particulars that can make followers of the video games really feel proper at residence, from the copious Stimpaks to some impressive-looking energy armor. When The Ink Spots begin singing “I Don’t Wish to Set the World on Hearth,” it’s arduous not to consider the top of the world. It additionally seems just like the collection will spend a bit extra time exploring the earlier than occasions; the trailer is bookended by a gross sales pitch for the vaults that wouldn’t be misplaced in Hiya Tomorrow!.

Fallout is directed by Westworld co-creator Jonathan Nolan, with Geneva Robertson-Dworet and Graham Wagner serving as showrunners. It additionally stars Aaron Moten, Walton Goggins, and Kyle MacLachlan.

The present begins streaming on April eleventh — in the future sooner than beforehand introduced. And as a substitute of a weekly schedule, all eight episodes will drop without delay.
