Chris is a Senior News Writer for Collider. He can be found in an IMAX screen, with his eyes watering and his ears bleeding for his own pleasure. He joined the news team in 2022 and accidentally fell upwards into a senior position despite his best efforts.

For reasons unknown, he enjoys analyzing box office receipts, giant sharks, and has become known as the go-to man for all things Bosch, Mission: Impossible and Christopher Nolan in Collider's news division. Recently, he found himself yeehawing along to the Dutton saga on the Yellowstone Ranch.

He is proficient in sarcasm, wit, Photoshop and working unfeasibly long hours. Amongst his passions sit the likes of the history of the Walt Disney Company, the construction of theme parks, steam trains and binge-watching Gilmore Girls with a coffee that is just hot enough to scald him.

His obsession with the Apple TV+ series Silo is the subject of mockery within the Senior News channel, where his feelings about Taylor Sheridan's work are enough to make his fellow writers roll their eyes.

Summary

Fans visiting CCXP this week can take to the Wasteland as Prime Video is giving visitors to the fan expo the opportunity to get a first look at their highly-anticipated upcoming series Fallout, adapted from the massively successful video game franchise of the same name. The booth on offer is full of the kind of paraphernalia that Fallout fans would spot a mile off, including that trademark Vault-Tec logo and the entrance to one of the notorious vaults.

Although the release of the Fallout series is still months away, there's optimism about it maintaining the distinctive 1950s retrofuturistic style found in the games. The series comes from Kilter Films and executive producers Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy, with Nolan directing the first three episodes. Geneva Robertson-Dworet and Graham Wagner serve as executive producers, alongside Athena Wickham of Kilter Films, with Todd Howard for Bethesda Game Studios and James Altman for Bethesda Softworks. The active involvement of key figures from the game's development is a positive sign, especially considering recent successful adaptations like The Super Mario Bros. Movie, which remains one of the highest-grossing movies of the year, and The Last of Us. Amazon would love to have a hit of that magnitude on their hands, and they're swinging for the fences with this one.

Similar to the video game franchise, the post-apocalyptic narrative revolves around humanity's struggle for survival in a dystopian, post-apocalyptic world. What adds to Fallout's allure for fans of the video game franchise is that the events in the Prime Video series will be considered canon within the Fallout universe. This implies that the show will establish connections with both past and potentially upcoming video game installments. While Fallout often features significant time leaps between entries, the timeline placement of the series will undoubtedly broaden the familiar world that players have grown attached to, providing new perspectives and insights into the lore that they know so well.
