We have a trailer for the Fallout TV show, and it looks like it’ll be a fantastic experience, even for those who aren’t familiar with the franchise. From what we can see, the producers have worked tirelessly to ensure that every detail in the show is perfect and it doesn’t look out of place.

This is one issue that many TV shows and films have resorted to over recent years, as most productions tend to use a lot of CGI and green screens to ensure quality rather than physical effects. According to Ella Purnell, this isn’t the case, as she has stated that she was impressed that Jonathon Nolan didn’t rely on green leotards over physical effects.

For anyone who is a fan of the Fallout series, you will be aware that there are a lot of different aspects to the game franchise that would be quite a challenge for the TV show to replicate, whether that be the power armor, the monsters, or even some characters.

However, Ella Purnell, during a press conference, stated that “you get to really work with practicals, not guys in green leotards,” which explains rather well that this show is being created using realistic effects rather than depending on CGI.

During the trailer, we get glimpses at some of the different locations, characters, and even some monsters that will make an appearance in the Fallout TV show, and from what we can see, it is impressive that the showrunners have kept to using physical effects rather than going through easy street and using CGI to finalize the product early on.

The Fallout TV Show Could Beat The Last of Us in Terms of Views If the Showrunners Continue on This Path

If Jonathan Nolan continues with physical effects over CGI, the Fallout TV show could be a major hit.

One of the big draws for the Fallout TV show is the fact that it is a big franchise with plenty of fans around the world who are very excited to see the show finally make its way onto their screens, and with this positive response to the trailer, we can only assume that it may even get a bigger one than The Last of Us series that aired not that long ago.

Since the show isn’t an adaptation, there will be plenty of new moments for the community to enjoy, along with a few nods to the original games. Until we see more, we do not know how in-depth the show will get into the Fallout universe, but if the rest of the show looks as good as the trailer, even without CGI, then we cannot wait to see the results.

From what we have seen, the Fallout TV show looks fantastic, and we cannot wait to see what Ella Purnell and Jonathan Nolan come up with for the future of the franchise.
