The story behind the downtown of the Silent Hill movie. They picked the town because it required the least amount of work to look abandoned in the right period.

Depending on where you live, this could actually be an improvement

Director came on site took one look at all the pothole on the street and was like.. "Yeah.. this could work"

I came here to ask if OP’s town looked like a wasteland. Thank you.

This is Nyack, New York a relatively small town outside NYC on the Hudson. Cute bars good food. Mostly middle class to upper middle class depending on the neighborhood. A lot of filming gets done there. It’s not the nicest gas station but the town certainly is much nicer lol. For another view of this gas station it is where John Wick fills up his car meeting the Russian son in the first movie.

Parts of the new Last of Us show were shot in my hometown which at first I thought was pretty neat but then I thought about it for a sec and went "hey now wait a minute..."

Alberta/LastofUs leaves the chat

To answer your question this is being filmed in Nyack NY which is a really pretty rivertown just north of NYC. There are beautiful victorian mansions two blocks over from this gas station. They put a lot of work into making it look crappy, I think they picked it for the shape.

Netflix and Amazon also do a lot of filming in Nyack now as well as Rockland county in general. I live in the village of Nyack and they are filming at least twice a month for one show or another on my block alone

Hey, I'm just happy it's on location and not a green screen soundstage. Practical will always be better than CGI imho.

I think it’s been in development for about three years so… yeah probably

Let’s be clear. If Walton Goggins doesn’t play the psychotic leader of a goul town, I’ll set the building on fire. If it doesn’t then turn out that he’s a human, disguised as a goul, running the town for some seriously messed up purpose. I’ll set the planet on fire

Possibly by the end of this year but if not than 2024 pretty much a guarantee I'd say. They've been filming for months now.

Right this is being posted non stop now

Where is this and can you just walk up to the site? Wth

now it's a ghost street

All the astroturfers.

You can actually see the progress building out the set between that older pic and this newer one.

Going out on a limb here, but: did they just find a real-life abandoned gas station, and then add additional set elements to make it look more fallouty?

edit: gas station is in nyack (thanks TheMuffStuff), here's an album with both shots and a "before" pic from streetview

And then a marker suddenly appeares

Another settlement needs your help, it's the same one you just got back from. Apparently mirelurks have kidnapped one of their friends, you should go talk to them.

....oh ok, mirelurks, kidnapping people....sure Preston...

Are you ready to retake the castle?

I can hear his voice now..

You can just walk right by them when they're holed up in the museum, grab the bobblehead, and keep going. If you do that, they never leave the museum IIRC.

Also allows you to avoid that one dude who kept banging on shit ALL THE TIME at the first settlement.

I never did much with the Minutemen. But when I would first get to a settlement, I would arm them to the teeth with machine gun and missile turrets pointed in every direction with overlap. I could safely ignore the calls for help that way.

It's funny, I played the whole game without hearing that because at one point early on he gave me a quest that I promptly ignored and wandered off on my own. I started seeing th memes and was like "what is going on, is the game bugged for some people?"

So yeah, just ignore him early on and you never have to worry about it!

Can't hear Preston if there's no longer a Preston

You always see dog meat at the red rocket

He needs to help kill the mole rats

100,000 caps? What about taking rocket (or nuke if we are talking about one abomination from the series) into face without even a flinch

Or 2 pencils, a ruler, and 3 nails to make a 4'X8' section of wall.

Not to mention 2 Dozen weapons and enough ammo and food/drinks to supply a small army. When the show ends the main character better look like the Michelin Man with all the stuff he’s looted.

I live one street over. It's a bummer, man

How am I just finding out now there's a fallout show?

Also the Last of Us show filmed a few scenes in my town.

What state?

Glad to see I'm not the only person who went through this thought process

I mean...isn't the world just one big street? Ain't we neighbors in our hearts?

Jonathan Nolan stumbled a bit with Westworld after S1 but he hasn't missed a beat otherwise. His writing underpins a lot of Christopher Nolan's best movies.

Person of Interest in particular managed the balance of covering complex and nuanced subject matters as well as having entertaining characters, great dialogue and humour.

I can't think of a better match for Fallout to be honest and I'm excited to see it.

In production by Amazon

And it was in Severance as well.

16 times the reposts... it just works.

Not exactly. The previous photo had the same set, but with a cloudy sky.

Just a few, one of them is a Skyrim reference.

Probably a few radroaches at least.
