Filming Halted On Multiple TV Shows And Movies Due To LA Wildfires
Following multiple leaked set images, seemingly inspired by Fallout: New Vegas, filming for Fallout’s much-anticipated second season officially began on December 4 last year, with actor Walton Goggins seen donning his Ghoul prosthesis. Unfortunately, a little over a month later, filming has been halted due to the ongoing fires ravaging Los Angeles.
As reported by Variety and IGN, filming permits have been withdrawn from areas around LA, which has put a stop to the taping of Fallout Season 2, among other shows. It is reported that this stoppage will initially run until Friday, January 10.
Variety reports that alongside Fallout, filming has been paused on Hacks, Ted, Suits: LA, Happy’s Place, NCIS, Grey’s Anatomy, Jimmy Kimmel Live, Abbot Elementary, and more.
In July, it was reported that Fallout Season 2 was ahead of schedule, with scripts in hands just three months after the debut season of the series premiered. After the many set images leaked, director Jonathan Nolan confirmed that Season 2 would take inspiration from Fallout: New Vegas to much joy.
Upon release, the series became one of the most well-received video game adaptations of all time, scoring a 94 on Rotten Tomatoes, receiving multiple Emmy nominations, and scooping ‘Best Adaptation’ at last year’s Game Awards.If you’re looking for ways to support those impacted by the Los Angeles wildfire, the tweet below has multiple charities and shelters looking for support.
Fallout: New Vegas
Welcome to Vegas. New Vegas.
It’s the kind of town where you dig your own grave prior to being shot in the head and left for dead…and that’s before things really get ugly. It’s a town of dreamers and desperados being torn apart by warring factions vying for complete control of this desert oasis. It’s a place where the right kind of person with the right kind of weaponry can really make a name for themselves, and make more than an enemy or two along the way.
As you battle your way across the heat-blasted Mojave Wasteland, the colossal Hoover Dam, and the neon drenched Vegas Strip, you’ll be introduced to a colorful cast of characters, power-hungry factions, special weapons, mutated creatures and much more. Choose sides in the upcoming war or declare “winner takes all” and crown yourself the King of New Vegas in this follow-up to the 2008 videogame of the year, Fallout 3.
Enjoy your stay.
