Fallout Interview: Kyle MacLachlan on How the Series Evokes David Lynch

[@GoogleVideoMan]

You can tell he really wants to work with a David Lynch like director again. It’s too bad he’s one of a kind.

[@aeonsbeyond]

some of us would love to see a Lynch directed episode

[@boblob3509]

i know David Lynch i can hook him up

[@arrowmaxwell]

The sense of honor and respect is felt! I've only played a little of three Fallout titles: Fallout 3, New Vegas, and Fallout 4. I haven't gotten very far in New Vegas or Fallout 4 yet, but for what I played in Fallout 3 I feel they pulled some plot elements to give a good base in creating the Amazon series. And so much of the games are for sure built right into the series like it's the same lived-in world as you game. Any fan of the Fallout games couldn't have asked for a better adaptation, it's brilliant, and I can't wait for season 2!

[@ThatOldIcedTea]

It's so refreshing to see how the people involved are considerate of the fans (aka the people who made the franchise a success to begin with)

[@Henry-wy4ei]

That was an awesome interview. It dint have these “what would you take into a vault kind of question”. But actually, really good and interesting… well, question. About the art, the job and just working with lynch. And of course the brilliant show itself. It’s so much more interesting and entertaining to see actors and actresses having a conversation (with a good host) instead of just being asked stupid question.

[@Tails7212]

I am very happy this legend has been immortalized into Fallout

[@chipious9736]

Hey Mom, Paul is playing with atomics again…

[@jn4126]

Mom: Don't break the convention sweetie

[@PrimerCinePodcast]

I LOVE Twin Peaks and I loved the Fallout games when I was younger. Having Kyle in such a big role for a Fallout story is aaaaweesome :)

[@belltolls1984]

Twin Peaks!

[@stupotgorilla]

The quizach hadirach himself!

[@LPFanpage]

Kyle is awesome! Thanks for a great interview.

[@dante18-p2m]

I've been a fan of the franchise forever. They did a great job. But inevitably, people will nitpick.

[@andrewmoluf4299]

Kyle did it proud, a fine performance among many good ones

[@badbadthingss]

Very solid questions

[@juicedgoose]

While watching Fsllout I kept wishing they had got David Lynch to direct it

[@dzenacs2011]

Well its tv show directing. And its not his show. So it will be the same as other episodes

[@PlayNiceFolks]

Right now, I'm looking forward to Season 2 more than pretty much anything else right now.

[@irenev1193]

wonderful interview, thank you

[@NoVACorpsGaming]

Kyle is going to be AWESOME in season 2, can’t wait to see where his character goes

[@Blynat]

Good interview. I've always liked Kyle. We are from the same medium sized town in Washington State.

[@johnstewart2981]

I hope Kyle is okay with being in the shadow of Agent Cooper so much. He was great in this show, and lives strongly outside of the legacy of Coop’s character. Hope he knows this,

[@Hajo87-tz7hz]

I'm a fan since Twin Peaks and Dune. I watch Dune again every other year. After watching Fallout I think that Kyle isn't only the best actor of the series, but also did one of his best performances. Also I love the show for all these ambivalent characters, forcing a large bandwidth of emotions out of the actors. Can't wait for season 2.

[@JB-1138]

Ohh Dougy.

[@thevimonsterinyourcloset]

Kyle is the most adorable treasure!!

[@Boogiebot5]

Blue velvet is a masterpiece

[@makeitsonumberone1358]

Fallout was awsome, but Twin peaks everyone forgets the late and great david Bowie was in it lol

[@darktrain1971]

great interview steve..

[@glenchilada]

I love this man

[@andrewmoluf4299]

Kyle was excellent in this btw

[@marekkos3513]

3:42 Kyle MacLachlan has great sense of humor 😂😂🤣🤣.To bad the man from Collider , doesnt have at all

[@nathanreiber6819]

"How does it feel being virtually unknown after nearly 40 years in showbiz?" And "what was it like only appearing in a couple of episodes? Have to be really fun questions to answer.

[@ThatOldIcedTea]

Good job Collider

[@stevenbanks1548]

Oh kyle, we feel the respect. Sincerely, A giant Fallout nerd

[@themerote]

The only question I have for Kyle is what year is it?

[@MisterBrimm]

Love this man and wish he was the mayor of Portland for real.

[@Ilfrinco]

* Spoiler *When he climbed out of the cryo chamber in Vault 31 he exclaimed "FATHER! THE SLEEPER HAS AWAKENED!"

[@gunslingerplays]

Legend

[@jamesmoriarty7796]

The sleeper has awakened!!

[@Indubidably0]

I loved the show. Goggins and Purnell are just astounding. I was so excited to see MacLachlan as the main character's father, and even moreso when I realized that he was going to be a bigger part going through, as I was worried that they'd kill him off fast to give Lucy her motivation. That final episode exemplifies why Mr. MacLachlan is a legend. I cannot wait to see where it goes in season 2. Mr. MacLahclan, you guys did it right. As a long time fan of the Fallout games, you guys nailed the visuals, nailed the tones, nailed that ridiculous humor that mixes so strangely well with the grim darkness of the setting, you all embodied your characters so well. And I say that as someone without much confidence in studios anymore to produce something respectful that honors a source material they're using. I went in skeptical, and by the end of the first episode you and Walter and Ella had banished that for me. Well done, sir! Well done!

[@tommykien3888]

What a great interview, the questions really make it so much more interesting.

[@anngo4140]

Justice for Shady Sands!!! JK, loved Kyle's performance But seriously though, that was messed up

[@mikehall7189]

Somehow I can’t imagine lynch watching Fallout.

[@MichaelSollienmusic]

Maybe not, but there sure are things he'd like there. The 50s stuff and the music, the absurd and satirical humor, quirky characters and of course Kyle.

[@vos3373]

The shows pretty good

[@crazybear5475]

This how you show respect to your source material and make a great story. No Mary Sues, great character development and growth. Disney needs to pay attention.

[@andrewmoluf4299]

well and try to nab Walton Goggins if you have the dexterity to trap lightning in a bottle

[@squamish4244]

Well, he kills a guy with a shovel in the first episode, so it's a good start!

[@stevenbanks1548]

Holy shir, Twin Peaks was ABC? What happened??

[@lordofthereels6790]

A UK set Twin Peaks rebootquel could be interesting initially seeming to not be TP related but slowly more eerie mysterious developments emerge in the small English town. Maybe have Stonehenge be their version of Black Lodge or something?

[@tiagocosmos]

Um dude Twin Peaks premiered in 1990, not the late 80's. Come on.

[@moodswinggaming2972]

tbf 1990 is really really late 80's... like, just too late. just.

[@Freddy-wv3wd]

No, the pilot episode was first shown at some film festival in 1989.

[@bernardmcgroary3372]

It my be hard to believe this but1990 is actually the last year of the 80s

[@PlayNiceFolks]

Lol

[@deliverance9975]

It's close enough dude, relax.

[@MrGreenlee93]

He wiped out the NCR over kids. Im not a fan.

[@Kyle-ch4zj]

lol, he stands as a hero to us Kyle’s.. he did what he had to do

[@andrewmoluf4299]

we still need to hear the rest of that story but yeah it doesn't look good rn lol

[@Bingo2501]

So awesome to have him in the cast!
