"You have to deeply respect" the source material. This woman gets it.
But they didnt.
@@enigmaz9 Smashed it outta the park, go cry more
@@enigmaz9uhhh excuse me sir but if this didn't respect the source material then what the heck does respect the source material?
@@BourbonBiscuit.The only Fallout games I have played are fallout 3 New Vegas and Fallout 4 but I have to say they really did knock it out of the park. Right up there with the last of us as far as faithful adaptations.
@@movieman175 Well apparently you dont know the source material, excluding the spot on set designs, power armor, Mr handy and all the peripherals, the Shady sands storyline make no sense whatsoever, as well as Mr house being involved with Vault-tec.
“balancing the light and the dark” she genuinely understands Fallouts way of being completely dark but also very futurey and cheery, i’m so so hyped for this!!!
Clever girl.
Her character is hilarious she's caused more deaths than the ghoul shot unintentionally I might add
futurey
@@pitchen futurey
Dark comedy. It's basically dark chocolate
She played the “fish out of water” vault dweller so well. Her performance was fantastic and her American accent was on point.
Absolutely agree. I loved that she didn’t just walk into situations and take them over while kicking 250 pound men 30 feet through a brick wall. She had to struggle to adapt, and got her a** kicked, a lot. Her journey to become a person who can adapt and survive on the surface was so fun to watch. Knowing that she actually played the games and researched the lore just made me like her so much more.
@@heathermillsphantomlimb9314 but she held to her principles in such an endearing and true-to-character way. "Torturing people is wrong!!" i lol'd even though I was terrified for her in that moment
@@brianlawson1758 the golden rule 😂
It's refreshing to see an actor/actress that cares about the source material. And hey, big surprise, she did an excellent job, and the show was all the better for it.
Nailed it Ace
Ella & henry cavill are the only ones who care about the source material
@@bee-beargaming you realize that there are thousands of movies based on books where the actors care about the source material, right?
@@DEATHFISH3000Only recently do writers and actors respect video game source materials. Hollywood writers obviously hold a superiority complex to video game writers and have always felt the need to redo everything
Doesn;t really make a difference if the actor cares about the source material if you ask me. Look at The Witcher show. Henry Cavill loved the source material, but the writers clearly didn't and the show suffered.
Love that she talks about respecting the source material in adaptations
wtf respect? the show destroyed fallout new vegas story and fallout 1 and 2 at the same time
@@waterboi4846lol
@@waterboi4846 no, it did not
@@navyrayne they did that when they killed NCR before the events of fallout new vegas.
@@waterboi4846 each game destroyed its continuity a bit, and you're still a fan of the series. why is this any different? Most of the lore was kept intact, and it was one hell of an easter egg hunt for us that are fans since fallout1 first came out. dont let media control your opinions by following the masses. Think for yourself, question authority. yeah, the show was slow as hell, but i enjoyed seeing all of the easter eggs. in the end, it was a lot better than what disney has been doing to our once beloved movie and comic characters.
She's also Jinx in Arcane. And now Fallout, both are great videogame adaptations. Give her more videogame roles!!!
I hadn't realize that, Season 2 of Arcane is also expected this year I believe? That's incredible for her!
@@ParadoxalDreamYep late this year. Hype is unreal
I simply adored Arcane. The best adaption ever, imho.
Omfg. That’s where I know her from. Thank you!
She should play Elizabeth in Bioshock Infinite
She was spot on about the sheer absurdity of the Fallout Universe sometimes. This makes me think she has at least tried to familiarize herself with it.
Funniest thing in Fallout is the sentry bot pirate
She played Fallout 4
Want to know how I know you didn't watch the clip before posting?
Garyyyy
@@ANarcolepticWalrusno need to out yourself like that mate. Have you atleast told your parents?
This is what fans want, an actor who actually cares about what they're making and respects the source material. It was a joy to actually see an interview like this.
And she means it, she really pushed back on that interview question about the game. He was looking for a sound bite and she went the other way
1:21 I love how offended she sounded
Rightfully so, typical mindset of thinking videogames are childish and a waste of time
@@cthulhuz0 People who think that are old people whose era of videos were indeed intended for children and people who are so consumed by life that they just think everything novelty and isn't practical is a waste of time.
Gaming can be more entertaining that movies, more sophisticated than a book and more touching that a song.
@vond5829 I was born in the 80's during the rise of video games and the arcade and I would have to disagree. Many games were not really intended for children. Some of them were ridiculously hard. Not to say they weren't popular among kids, but I don't think they were originally the target audience.
@@vond5829well said.
@@ultmotive The people who made those arcades and games weren't aiming for the target audiences of 25+.
Those games were made hard on purpose because they thought that a harder game would make them kids playing for longer. Especially the arcades, which basically charged by attempts.
Adults are much more likely to give up on hard games because we have restraints and responsibility
I like how Lucy goes about any situation with an, "Okie Dokey."
Definitely her catch phrase.
Ich finde es nicht gut
@@dr.amnesia9714 ok Hans!
@@dr.amnesia9714that's okay. Everyone's opinion is valid.
Man, watching all these interviews made me realize how mind numbing it must be for the actors to go on these press tours
@@user-ey6vk5gu4o But what if they're not the main star and they aren't rich. People think all actors get paid millions and that is FAR from the truth. A lot of smaller actors work jobs between films and sometimes go months and months without a paycheck.
@@user-ey6vk5gu4o Mate he didnt say it wasnt worth it. He said it must be mind numbing, shitty jobs can be mind numbing and so can real comfy jobs. They are playing make believe as adults and have to answer the same questions over and over again, even if you paid me 1 billion dollars it wouldnt change the mind numbing-ness of it.
@@flobbergassy Those actors don't go around the world and on press tours to get mind-numbed by the interviewers asking the same crappy questions over and over, so there's no offset because there's no money. If you're desirable enough to have to go on them, you're not poor.
@@flobbergassy The side characters get left alone, free food and booze. So they just hang out with their friends.
@@user-ey6vk5gu4oShe voiced Jinx from arcane. She's a great actor, glad this show chose voice actors over celebrity actors
From the first episode alone, they KNOCKED IT OUT OF THE PARK. 10/10 adaptation. Huge Fallout fan and the use of Fallout soundtracks and accurate decoration and details from the games. So many Easter eggs. Loved it.
Wish they would use OST music from the games more. Like when the vault door was opening, I expected the Fallout 4 theme to play :(
@@Bodya_CN They actually do in later episodes. At one point I heard the Fallout 4 menu screen theme music, and they also use some of the fiddle music from radio Freedom a couple of times. I'm sure there's a couple of others I'm missing, but they do make very good use of all the music from the games.
@@Bodya_CNbruh it had a lot of ost what you on
Yep, the new vegas theme also played when they first showed an NCR flag. @@BadgerOff32
@@yungweezer at the time I wrote that comment I've only watched one episode 😅
She is unbelievably pretty. There's just something about her face 😍
It's the big eyes
@@dirzz 🎶With your big eyes... And your big lies... 🎶
I think it's because she has a normal person hairdo (not hollywood hair), which makes her stand out visually.
she has great face features big eyes ofcourse it's make up also big cheeks also she is very fit@@greedowins2917
@@dirzzu know I hate big eyes Lol but I can work with these don't know why 😂
It is so refreshing to have a strong female character that is not just likeable but adorable. This cast has great chemistry and obviously enjoys making the show.
Her face is a Looksmenu custom preset. The good kind.
Fr , shes soo beautiful
She is too perfect
I feel like her eyes are too big for her head, when she opens them wide, it's almost alien like.
@@thatguyfromca I absolutely agree with you, that's the thing that first struck me about her... but weirdly, it's not a bad thing. It somehow works.
I think it's because of the anime eyes
"that moment was not lost on me" thank you
“Was that a complete waste of time?” Is such a trashy question but she handled it well
Journalists will almost always try to downplay and funk on gaming. Even gaming journalists too lol
She was smart enough to not pull a Rachel Zegler.
Sounds like something Fallout fans would ask.
Finally respect the source material
1:58 This is very worth seeing and a very sympathetic answer
Can we talk about her jacket? This woman absolutely gets the fallout style and knows how to show it off in a great way
Haha yes the jacket is great!
Her and Cavill should definitely star in something together, I bet you they’d be best friends lol
And having now watched it, she was perfect. Loved all the actors in this series
so weird seeing Jinx outside of Arcane!
She is very likeable. I cant wait for the Fallout show 🤗
So far.....she's awesome in it!!!!
@@cecilroberts1971 Yes! 🙂👍
Wonderful girl ❤
*That jacket needs to be craftable in Fallout 76, Todd.*
46 Yo gamer here. Played all the Fo games even the old school ones in the late 90s..back IN the 90s, on MS DOS! lol. Loved the show. Great characters. Fallout feeling was legit, lore felt right. Ella, did a great job too. I am glad she went back and played Fo 4 i think? For her research into the role, it shows. This show is what the witcher SHOULD have been.
She's adorable and she did an absolutely amazing job as Lucy. I loved her character in the show.
Yes, she's pretty and quirky smart- obviously- but I am loving the bling on her jacket!!!
Thank you! Respect the source material, nail the tone but mainly make it fun for the viewer! Props!
Compare this to how Rachel Zelwiger or what ever her name is answered questions on Snow White...
This is how you pay respect. Sooooo glad this is Amazon a d not Disney
her and Goggins were absolutely the best parts of the show. Really hope we get to see a lot of New Vegas in season 2 and done properly
What a likable actor. I enjoy the games, and was aware of the show (not that interested tbh), but after seeing this I think I'll check it out.
@greedowins2917 The creator of Fallout, Tim Cain also said he really liked it, so that's enough to get me to finally watch it.
It's really good. Have fun.
She understood the job, well done girl! Your role is just amazing you just nailed it!!
This show was legit one of the best live-action videogame adaptations I've ever seen binged the whole thing in 2 days. Got teary eyed a few times, mostly because of the music. They knew what they were doing with this one and actually looked at the games and the vibe they set. They nailed it. I heard there were some inconsistencies with New Vegas but I've honestly never finished the game. Only got into it with Fallout 4, which I've finished a bunch of times. After that I tried 3 and NV but as I said, never finished them. I have played quite a bit of Fallout 76 (recently, because it was shit for years) as well. Needless to say, my knowledge is going purely off of what I've experienced
No way she was the voice of jinx in Arcane?!? She's very talented!
Actors like her and the writers respecting the material is why they've done so well. It isn't hard.... this is the format. Love her. Looking forward to Arcane season 2 as well.
This first season was great and the cast nailed it i am so relieved.
Only miss for me is the ghoul voice. Its just not grumbly enough.
She nailed it at the end. That is exactly what it is.
It seems all the actors and everything really are doing their best to keep the games in mind- high hopes and at least respect their attempts
They really hit it out of the park with this series!!!! I cant wait for season 2 now......
What's awesome is that they totally nailed it. Good Job give us more. My favorite scene is Lucy and Maximus on the bridge when they get ambushed by the cannibals' and she yells " why " LMFAO.
Ella seems intelligent enough to realize the Meta of Fallout. (that we could all be living a literal Fallout in reality on any given day. and some people already are)
It’s not that deep bro
the way she mentioned the absurdity of Fallout means she definitely understood the assignment. I'm so stoked for this show and to see Walter Goggins as a ghoul because before this show was even announced, he was first to come in mind to who would be playing a live action Ghoul
Respect the source material... that's what I love to hear! 👏
Great interview really impressed by Ella.
Not so much the interviewer what a stupid question asking if her research was a waste of time.
I’m really impressed by her attitude and it comes out on the series perfect actor for the role.
Why would he even ask if playing the games was a waste of time? It's such a backhanded question towards the source material. Would you ask Peter Jackson if reading LOTR was a waste of time? 😂
We have a keeper, boys.
She respects the source material.
I really appreciate Ella's appreciation for the games!
She’s a gem. Actor saying deeply respect the source material , fans respect you back . P.s. I haven’t seen fall out yet , but everyone is telling me it’s great, after seeing this We know why .
They have great actors , great show and awesome background visuals
I just finished the series, and its very true to the game material, Ella's awesome as lucy.
This is what Halo could have been.
Could it? There's a rare resonance to Fallout's setting and writing that I doubt Halo has distinctly from its science fiction peers. Fallout does its satire so well, always has.
@@Afinati The halo directors could have followed the game, lore and material and instead build the show around the in game universe but they didn't do that
I've watched it, and I could easily watch that season again. The show is so damn good.
What's with the T-1000s on the background, I can't tell if they are bodyguards or cranky managers
I love hearing the cast really sound like they get the tone, it gives me a lot of hope that the whole project just will be consistent with what made the games great. Shame though Tim Cain couldn't at least be involved somehow as maybe an advisor or something, like so much of the iconic stuff in Fallout originated directly from Tim himself.
i want to point out her wonderful jacket. fits perfectly into the fallout design aesthetic.
Happy that she respects the lore, as long as the rest of the showrunners also feel the same this will be awesome for years to come.
Always nice to see professionals who take pride in their art and the lore behind the project. They didn't have to do this, but they respected the material enough and it showed in the show, imo.
Crazy how when the movies/series are good. Nobody is blaming sexism, racism, etc etc.
It doesn't matter what the protagonist gender/race/culture is, just make a good media and people will eat it, simple.
Bingo. These studios love to use "diversity" as a weapon to beat the audience with every -ism when they reject shoddy scripts plagued by modern day messaging, but now Fallout has proven (yet again) that no one cares about box ticking, they just want a good show
Wow an actress/team who did their job and researched the source material bravo
i watched another video of her and two of the other main actors answering bunch of questions about fallout lore and the show and she literally knew every answer right away, i cant think of anyone else who would of been a better fit than her.
She has earned the love and admiration of all the nerds and ghouls
she said it all: "The tone!" and they freaking nailed it.
Is the one in the back right at the start working security or something? They look so badass and official 🤠
Yeah, she's got some very stern-looking women hovering around her.
deeply respect the source material ...what a goat actor you go girl
I’m hearing really good things about the show!
Its pretty damn good. I have played Fallout 3, New Vegas and Fallout 4 and the show feels like a Fallout playthrough. So much fanservice. Love it.
"what about people who haven't played the games?"
THE SHOW IS FOR THOSE WHO PLAYED THE GAMES.
and they nailed it, hope they'll stick with the fans of the franchise.
She is pretty
Everybody kinda forgets she is also playing Jinx in Arcane, one of the best shows ever and definitely one (if not the best) tv show set in a universe that came from a video game.
Jackie ❤
She was awesome as Lucy, The whole cast was awesome
The interviewer were the reason I was not excited about the fallout adaptation, but man the actress nuked my expectations...
She and all the team should be very proud. Probably the best video game live action adaptation ever made.
The slider was brought to max on her eyes ... but still works 😂. Deff a pre-set look
Such good casting. Not only does she have a really open expressive demeanour and the range to really carry the role from wide eyed naive vaultie to calloused survivor, but she genuinely looks like she could be Kyle MacLachlan's daughter.
She wins me over when she says respect the source material. Legend. Not to mention a great Actress. Where has she been and not gotten so much more recognition.?
The media don't like those people. How can they say we hate women when we love characters like her... So they try to keep those actors down.
Ella Purnell , like wow ' Not really seen much of her before this but for a female actor / person, she just is so infectious to listen to.
respect for the source material and actual character growth. That's how you do it.
She actually surprised me with her character Lucy. The times her and Goggins were on the screen together were the best part of the show. I wouldn't be disappointed if they keep this one going for a few more seasons.
She really managed to hold her own in scenes with veteran actors such as Michael Emerson, Kyle McLachlan and Walton Goggins. I really hope she gets more recognition for her talent.
The whole cast did pretty damn good. Ella will most likely be showing up in more shows, and I'm all for it. She did great
she was the main reason i watched fallout, her face and snowflake acting is so original, at first I thought her eyes were CGI from the cover
Ella, you are a legend. Thank you for a fanominal performance.
She is so lovely, this interviewer needs to go back to intern, but she nailed the interview despite his ineptitude.
She is amazing. I love her voice.
I barely made it through the Fallout show, but I will say I respect that the actors are not blasting the fans and attacking the fans. Ella is showing the work she put into the show and is also showing that she wants people to watch it. See Amazon how easy it is to have actors and actresses not attack the fanbase? Maybe take some notes for season 2-5 of Not Lord of The Rings: Rings Of Power.
oh the drama
Compare her to Rachel Zegler (live action Snow White) Wow! Rachel take notes. "Respect the material..."
Hmmmm seems refreshing that she loves the lore of the source materials hope the fest of the production crew does the same
I pick her to play for any Fallout character ❤
she explained the fallout universe so well. we must protect her at all cost brothaa!!
Shes so ❤❤❤
I love her now after watching this interview and the show
She respects the source material and plays the role incredibly
Fire everyone in Hollywood right now and lock the doors, and annoint Ella and Caville as God Empress and God Emperor of Hollywood.
This is what happens when the Director, the writers and the actors respect and follow the source material. You get a great show!
This is what Henry Cavil was talking about when he did The Witcher. Sadly The Witchers directors and writers was too dumb to understand that. It could have been an great show like Fallout if not even better cause Henry Cavil is amazing as an actor.
She’s fantastic in the show. Can’t wait for season 2 of this and Arcane!
I think she did an amazing job as Lucy (or possibly Goosey). The way her character goes from extremely naive to slowly learning more and becoming more likely to survive in the wasteland is well done. She is also very funny, but not in a way that undermines the show's tone or more serious moments (like a certain MCU has been doing lately).
It's obvious that she and the others involved in the project understand the source material and wanted to do it justice.
And they knocked it out of the park. Can't wait for season 2
She saying okey dokey is crazy 😂
i like her big eyes
ur the only one...probably...
@@user-ht1jg4qz3h it actually puts me off

i love ella purnell.. the hero we didnt know we needed
I am 69, and your character is dead on. I got hooked on this series after episode 2
Nice.
Could this hopefully(hopefully) be a wake up Call for studios?
I mean its right in front of you. Amazon must have learned now, with the backlash from ROP & now they see the reception for Fallout. The other studios that delivered Halo, Witcher(& that other one), Resident evil etc etc. I mean its right in front of you what direction is better.
Xmen 97 aswell is getting praise. Its pretty obvious.
Good job on Fallout. Looking forward to season 2
She looks like an anime charachter
Alita: Battle Angel :)
@@triumphtinltcomicdg 100% , first thing I thought - "what big eyes you have" lol.
