On the release day of Fallout, Ella Purnell called up her old friend Chloe Grace Moretz to talk about her total sci-fi transformation.
signed up to star in the post-apocalyptic drama and video game adaption, she was ready for a complete transformation. Coming in armed with a chipper American accent and glossy wig, she ventured into an apocalyptic vision of Los Angeles in the year 2996 as Lucy MacLean, on a mission to save her father from a post-nuclear wasteland.
MORETZ: It was a long shoot, right? You guys were filming this for a while, so being able to have that sustainably throughout production in high intensity situations is hard. MORETZ: When you were prepping for it did you jump into the lore of the game? Or did you just focus on the scripts?Coming into something so famous and well-loved—and video game fans are so passionate—that can be really intimidating. It’s a fine line of wanting to respect that and do a good job, but also, I had eight weeks to prep for the show, and there are 25 years of lore behind it.
I remember being opposite Walton, who plays the ghoul for the first time, and I had no idea how this character was going to be. Just reading it on the script, that’s when you have to play the games to understand.PURNELL: You can read about the ghoul, but you can’t really conceptualize this mutant irradiated cowboy. They described him in the script as his face looks like a melted candle, and my version of that is going to look completely different.
PURNELL: Utah, Namibia, New York. And then, I don’t know if you remember when Lucy comes out of the vault and she’s traipsing across the wasteland and she goes past this giant abandoned shipwreck? That location was a four-hour helicopter ride away, so only eight of us went.PURNELL: Yeah. When it’s this small and you have no Wi-Fi. Luckily the view wasn’t terrible so we were able to lose ourselves a little bit.
