Take notes everyone. This is how you respect a fanbase, source material, and create a show based on actually interesting characters
Her American accent was flawless, i knew she was British but I honestly forgot she was a brit, she has like christian bale level mastery over american accent
Pfffft, American accent is easy. I've been doing it since I was a baby.
@@BobDevVI lived near LA for a couple years and as much as I despise the entire state of Cali Ive never heard anyone talk like that outside of movies, but they do talk like that in bigger Canadian cities like Toronto. But yea I agree its annoying.
@@justinland1208 Which American accent, Southerner American, Easterner, West Side, California or snobby North accent?
You mean Bale isn't American?
@@vladmitrache6373I thought he was American also!
Didnt expect the analogy of the characters and playtime hours...such a good analogy.
I was no nervous when I saw she was the lead because I didn't know who she was, but *GODDAMN* she has absolutely killed it so far.
@@NickBluntingAgreed. She did such a good job of playing a game character.
@@NickBlunting You havent watched Arcane? :O She voices Jinx.
We need more actors like Ella Purnell, you can tell she genuinely has a deep respect for the source material.
Its called media training
@@JacksonKillroy Exactly what I came here to say.
I would say- it´s more important for directors, writers and showrunners to have that respect and knowledge of source material rather than actors. Just look at Witcher show, if Henry was the writer I think people would still be watching it.
You sound like you have deep respect for source material. You should act.
@@JacksonKillroy A really good one while we're at it, cause she clearly knows how to balance her personal and professional opinion and it shows.
Ella has mentioned "source material" in several interviews. Folks, she's one of us!
no, she's just done her research and shows respect. which is admirable, but not quite one of us
@@WeiderMystic i am glad she is not one of us
@@WeiderMystic Shut your gatekeepin ass up lol she didn't *have* to do as good of a job as she did, but she played the games and did her absolute best! You don't speak for me, I say she is one of us.
@@yourstruly5013Fr 😂
@@DLeonard716lil bro is bringing out the weaponized wording for the typical strong Wahmen with jungle fever in a modern show of course.. 😂
Ella Purnell has delivered a masterclass in what it means for an actor to properly research and prepare for their role, as well as how to win over a fandom. I have 1,000 hours in Fallout games, and her preparation really shows in the way her performance merges perfectly with the existing world and lore. Impossible to fake. She left the vault and entered the wasteland and it shows. Walton Goggins approach is valid as well (helps with making the show connect with non-fans), as it seems he immersed himself in his character rather than the world, but it couldn't have worked if he wasn't surrounded by people like Ella, the writers, director, and producer who were immersed in the world.
The major note on both approaches is humility.
Neither one takes a tone of contempt for the franchise or its fans.
We've had several years of media promotion leaning into outrage marketing. *intentionally* provoking anger and instigating division. I think that has stopped paying off (it absolutely can be a valid strategy. I just wish folks wouldn't pretend that wasn't the strategy :P)
Ella is 2 for 2. Fallout and Arcane adaptations were great. Lots of stuff honoring the games but new additions enhancing the story.
She did a fantastic Jinx.
She did an amazing job on the show. It's nice to see that the interviewer was familiar with the amazing work she did on Arcane as well.
way back as a young male teenager playing fallout 1 and 2 i would have never thought in my wildest dreams this would be happening...2 women like this talking about the game and it becoming what it is now...life is a trip
brah, that's cool and all but change your underwear before you comment...disgusting.
Season 2 is confirmed
It was already.
@@redactedandredactedaccesor7290 wasn't until 20 mins before i posted my comment
@@MikeUK Bro they literally showed Vegas at the end why would you need to wait for a "confirmation". That pretty much confirmed everything.
@@MikeUK This was known months ago...where you been.
@@billriddle921520 minutes before he posted months ago 😂
She's such a darling, as a fallout fan starting from fallout 2's release onwards I am truly glad and honoured to count Ella amongst us. Celebrities take note: this is how you approach an established franchise, if you give out love and respect to the IP and fanbase you will get heaps in return.
Wow. Cast and crew flew to south Africa. Then took lots of flights and helicopter rides to film on remote locations. I'm in awe. I'm so amazed by them
Kudos to Ella for showing so much respect to the source material (again) while creating her own thing in the process!
While Ella like usual is a class act gotta give props to the interviewer. One of the better interviews, touched on the importance of fan reactions and wasn't dismissive of delving into the source material.
She should film her game play and post in a personal channel.
Great interview. Fallout is probably the only show I've watched where I immediately want to rewatch right after finishing.
Yep i am a fallout fan and player and the show was amazing they did a great job and i ve watched it three times already 😁
Same here. And I also want to resume the playthrough I have parked on my Steamdeck. I’m a huge Fallout fan, my favorite game is FO4, I have hundreds of hours in that world.
After Rings of Power and the Halo show i went into this with extremely low expectations, and wow i was amazed by how much i liked this show. I'm grateful we finally got a good adaptation to one of my most beloved franchises.
Rings of Power kinda jammed, faithful adaptation or not, nothing like the complete unwatchable dumpster fire that is Halo. .
Try Arcane as well. It's tragic, but so fuckin good. Also Ella plays Jinx
We can only hope Amazon doesn't learn the wrong lesson from Fallout Ep 1 success and decide what we really *want* is MOAR MESSAGE!!
Ella is great in the show but Walton Goggins is a big fat scene-stealer and he becomes more captivating as the series progresses. Great series and my son wants more for sure. This is the only TV show he has watched in a long, long time. BTW, he is a gamer and working on his Master's in IT Engineering so this is all in his wheelhouse. Great job Ella and everyone who worked on it.
she did so great, omg the actors in general, top notch. As a fallout fan I've seen the show like another installment
I did not know about Goggins getting bitten by a brown recluse spider. Those are very nasty. I got bitten by a juvenile one and still lost a decent-sized chunk of flesh from my left hand near the base of my thumb. And by lost, I mean I could literally look down into the hole in my skin and see my thumb joint and the bone in my hand that connects to it. I do not recommend that, as it's fascinating for a second, then very distressing. Generally, when you can directly see your skeleton at all, nothing good is happening. Fortunately, with iodine and packing and repacking the wound as it healed, it healed up without a huge scar, although my thumb isn't as reliable as it used to be and I could put out a cigarette on that area and not feel it (muscle and skin grow back more readily than nerves). And he got bitten *FIVE* times because the damned thing was in his pants and (fair enough) very irritated when he put his pants on. Really, there isn't anything *in my pants* I'm comfortable having a spider put fangs into -- fortunately it was his leg, and very fortunately he went to the doctor immediately.
I knew a guy who got bit in the leg and it looked like someone drilled a hole into him.
I was bitten by one on my little finger that was no larger than a pinhead. Fortunately. My finger swelled to double its normal size for a week. Ow.
I got lucky. I was bitten at 17, never saw the spider. Only lost feeling on a half-dollar sized portion of my right hip. 30 years later, the scar isn't noticeable.
I got hit in the arm by stone splinters once. I remember looking into the hole it made and seeing the white of one of my forearm bones and thinking ‘oh, thats not good’. Then the hole filled up. But ive never forgotten that couple of seconds. When i look at the scar it amazes me how deep the hole was.
Ouch, same here. Got bitten by one, or one of its cousin species (hobo spider I think), but didn't realize it. I thought I had just a shin bruise, but then later it got infected and nearly began to necrotize. Had to get some powerful treatment before that got worse.
Ella is an A+ home run in this role and in interview about it
I feel like everyone really understood the assignment in fallout. Lucy was my favorite character and how I usually play rpgs 😅 and it’s great to hear about Ella’s process. It makes sense why she brings so much to her roles!
Ella captured the draw of Fallout to viewers:
Emma (Lucy) is the new player, brimming with confidence in her selected abilities (her SPECIAL, to use a Fallout term), determined to be the good player in the Wasteland, not realising she will be wiped out in short order on her own.
Walton (the Ghoul) is the player with five years play experience, every level up, every perk to increase his charisma and combat to be virtually invincible. And all that with an Attitude.
Aaron (Maximus) is the archetypical low level soldier with low intelligence but really, really high perception and incredible luck. He makes a fantastic comedic character.
Add to that all the Fallout tweaks, including second tier cast using game tropes such as the NPC walk, the PipBoy, the sounds from the game and that incredible score.
I just loved it and am so hungry for Season 2.
The show is amazing. I binged it in a single day. And it's so refreshing to see showrunners and actors who just want to make an entertaining show instead of lecturing people about something.
And demonstrating you can be political as hell while doing it.
SEASON 2 LESGOOO ☢️🚀
The fact they filmed in a REAL LIFE LOCATION in Namibia, instead of using greenscreen... 🤯
I can't say enough good things about Fallout. Such a spot on series! Thanks to everyone involved.
If a show that's based on a video game becomes mains stream, out of his poularity, you know that beeing a gamer is not nerdy anymore. It's part of pop culture now!
“Are you a fan of the game?
“Yeah, since filming I’ve played it and I am now Level 2”…
She said shes been playing about 3 years
@@wertnog6379 ...I suppose. If you completely IGNORE her quote that, "I think I've made it to Level 2 now".
Do you understand sarcasm?
Excellent interview. Thanks 🙂
She’s a damn good actress. Looking forward to season 2!
I hate to say it but that part of Namibia isn't untouched. I distinctly remember three British men ripping across that beach in beach buggies.
New that ship as soon as I see it in fallout
Uninhabited probably a better description.
CLAAAAARKSOOON!
I played Fallout for years now. I honestly was really impressed how well the show was. It instantly made me want to play Fallout 4 again. Just now I am already fully in the game haha
So grateful to see an actress - and a show - that respects the source material while doing something new and engaging.
The Boys....
Well prime have announced season 2 Ella so happy days!
great interview! for real, i like the questions
It's crazy how they make it seems like Lucy's personality is exceptional. Makes me even sadder, because she's just extremely relatable to me and that's also how I try to play the Fallout games every time. Nobody called me "Ned Flanders" IRL but I got Gandhi, Mother Theresa, etc. Why can't more people have a heart? 😭
She's said and ment "respect the source material" hear hear, what a nice lady
This show is so good. It's nice to see how faithful it is to the source material, especially compared to other recent shows like Wheel of Time or Rings of Power.
Ella is absolutely brilliant in this show. She's vulnerable, but strong when she needs to be, and really grows and adapts as she moves thru this hellscape. She really is the driving force of the show. Walton Goggins is great as well, of course. The pre-apocalypse scenes are beautifully filmed, and the aftermath is suitably desert like.
i love Ella so much
Ella Purnell and Walton Goggins are stupendous in their roles. The guy whos playing the Knight (dont remember his name) is getting better every episode! I love this show!
I have nothing but praise for the TV series. Season 2 NOW!
This show is incredible! This interview was fun 👍
OMG, creators who "want to do the story justice."
These are the heros we need AND deserve.
Now i wanna see her player build.
I think it was not official when the interview was done, but there will be a season 2 of Fallout! 🙂
Wow an actor, that both understands the importance of being true to the source material, making something the existing fans will like, WHILE not taking her podium to preach about her own political beliefs and was just happy to be a part of it. How (and this is sad that it is so) refreshing. Oh and a strong female character that isn't a Mary Sue, and actually has a character arc. Shocking!
She does a very good job in fallout, well done Ella ♥️🇬🇧
"Expire as a person" has to be my new favourite phrase 😂
"She steals dads!" Favorite line in the whole show.
As a dude who grew up dreaming of seeing my favorite games brought to life, I would love to shake her hand and thank her for not once, but twice, contributing to turning game to film/show adaptations and it being an amazing show on its own (lookin at you Halo).
Ella demonstrates JUST how easy it is to approach franchises with immense, established and passionate fanbases.
You don't need to be a superfan. You don't need to PRETEND to be a super fan. Just "I tried it, here's some stuff I appreciate, and I really want to do justice to the source material"
Walton Goggins took a different tack of just being honest. He knew nothing about the franchise and simply did his job.
I'm hoping that industry PR and individual actors just take notice.
A touch of humility is all you need.
A touch of fan service/appreciation will gain you huge credit.
Perhaps it will end the narrative that fandoms are toxic, and simply demonstrate that antagonism towards fans is the main problem. Not the fans reaction to being antagonised.
I can’t wait until the next season comes out, I loved the first one. Shedding a really good job playing Lucy as well. Her ace t was perfect, had no idea she wasn’t American until I watched an interview
I did not expect the host would've played Fallout in junior high lol
Fallout is amazing. Love the whole cast. Have been a fan of the games over 15 years. Great job Ella!!
Amazing show! I liked everything about it.
Wait, she's Jinx? How was I not aware of this?!
Kudos for stepping into the notoriously dire world of video-game adaptations and nailing the co-leads in the only two to not only be incredible adaptations*, but phenomenal shows in their own right!
(Illumination's Mario Bros. also deserves credit for being a solid adaptation and a fun movie, but Arcane set an entirely new standard that only Fallout has matched)
Fallout respected the source material MUCH better than Amazon did with Wheel of Time and Rings of Power.
She just became my favourite British Actress. Much respect.
I'm so excited for the next Arcane! Literally the best thing I've ever seen.
Now talk about a beautiful and intelligent host who knows the subject matter! Great interview!
I think the show was pretty darn good. The sets were great! All in all good job Ella and the rest of the crew!
she has THE BIGGEST eyes I think are possible on a human... absolutely stunning!!!
Agreed , Ella is not to hard on the optic nerve ;) .
"Really deep respect of the source material" that is why the show is such a success.
Shes exactly 2 years younger than me to the day and we live such different lives its crazy
She went out into the world and you hid in your basement internetting?
@@liamloxley1222 and what has your lonely degenerative ass accomplished?
People live different lives, shocking...
yeah, but she got acting roles in movies and theatre since she was a child, its just a way things are for actors, its her career the only difference is that in this career if you do well you get famous .
imagine that moron lol..
Ella is one of the smart ones. She works with the lore and doesn’t “reinterpret for a modern audience” 👍
there better be a session 2😤
I completely did not know she was British, so good on her for pulling off the accent.
Ive always been a Fallout fan, but I'm glad to say I also love the show!
Wait, that abandoned wasteland with the rusted ship was filmed in Namibia ? That's ambitious for a first season.
Grand tour went there in there beach buggies special
@@typhlosion4493 Literally came on here to say the same trhing!
Icing on the cake was the great oldies soundtrack.
Amazon had long renewed for season 2 before the release,so her saying "I hope" might as well be like,"I can't say anything"
Ella is a breath of fresh air and I hope she stays the way she is. Humble, kind, funny, no political peacocking, and most of all I love how she says she respects/cares about the source material to the point of playing the games and immersing herself in it. I hope we get 10 seasons of the show.
This Fallout Season 1 shows and proves if you write a proper script and develop characters properly you will probably get a hit. Love the OH to Fallout in some spots but also made it there own. All three main characters do a great job, and Lucy (Ella Purnell) is my favorite at this time.
Ms. Purnell is a lovely and talented actress.
Well done interviewer!
Her eyes are literally out of this freaking world. It's like she borrowed the eyes of the Cheshire Cat from Alice in Wonderland
the fact that she has enough knowledge to understand this, and actually pay respect to itv even if its not real. not saying that its knot. but regardless she is fantastic. my only plea would be that please tell me Ready player one is in the works😁🙃
level 2 is basically walking out of the vault lol
Okely Dokily
That's Ned. Her's is "Okey dokey".
@jeffreypierson2064 I know. She was told to act like Ned Flanders, though, which is a main inspiration for her character. It's literally the first thing they talk about in the video.
Namibia does not have Brown Recluse spiders, so what are they actually referring to?
Only the desert scenes were in Namibia
@@michaeldeancoetzee9993 Unless I am mistaken they said it happened in Namibia. :)
Less Ned Flanders, more Leslie Knope
she is awesome in the show! she is just awesome in general! so cute so strong so funny!
Good on her for playing the game even if she wasn't into gaming. I hope the series doesn't go off the rails like westworld did in subsequent seasons.
Playing for three years and on level 2 = I played once for 20 minutes.
Played the intro of one of the most unoriginal entries of the series.
or you know sacrasum.
Interviewer: how are you loving Toronto?
Ella being a darling: it's great
What she meant: it's Toronto. Who cares.
See her interview on The Tonight Show where she admits she has absolutely NO idea what, “Ned Flanders in an apocalypse” means. And that her producers have just TOLD her to not worry about it, but to just go around saying that. As, she has never seen The Simpsons nor ever even played Fallout before filming.
The sense of humor in fallout was the best part of the show for me lol
Such a uniquely featured woman.
She should have played Faye Valentine in Cowboy Bebop, at least it would not suck as much.
chest not big enough.
Ella you did an amazing job
Evrybody should play Fallout One and Two to get the eerie feeling. ❤
I just bought the whole bundle for 55€ even Fallout76 which I'm probably never gonna touch lmao. I'm not a big gamer though it makes me fall asleep think I won't last long
@@god6384 I just missed sale for 76 I have all others but I never thought of getting 76 but after seeing first three episodes I was thinking of getting it but I missed sale...
Okey-dokey, yep, she's GORGEOUS!
They get a season 2.
Season 2 was greenlit last week
Now I got another explosion again. Why does this happen when I see her? It's just so... disgusting... 😕
She should have played Fallout 3, it has more of the Vault Dweller Vibe than FO4, in 3 you actually play out Vault Life before leaving where in 4 your not really a Vault Dweller just a Cryo Experiment searching for a missing person.
her eyes.... increadible
calling her character Ned flanders like in the wasteland of fallout, I think we are gonna have a possible fallout simpsons episode at some point now.
Fallout 2nd season, ABSOLUTE MUST!!
