We spoke w/ 'The Peripheral's Jonathan Nolan & Vincenzo Natali on the challenge of adapting a futuristic world from page to screen.
Based on the novel by William Gibson, created for television by Scott B. Smith, and executive produced by Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy, the Amazon Studios original series The Peripheral follows Flynne Fisher and her brother Burton in their life in small town America in 2032, as they venture deeper and further into a simulation set in post-apocalyptic future London.
NOLAN: Yeah, it was a no-brainer, as they say. I’d actually grown up reading William Gibson’s books. I started when I was 14. I read Count Zero first, which was a mistake because I was reading out of order, which may explain a lot of things. And then, I’ve been shamelessly ripping off his work for all of mine, for decades after that.
When you were reading Gibson when you were younger, did the thought ever cross your mind that you could make it into something, someday? Did that even occur to you then, or was it much later? You see the impact of these two worlds on each other, which is a fantastic and seductive way into a story. It’s a well-tested narrative device to take someone from one place and go with them into the wild new future. But to me, the most fascinating and enjoyable part of the experience is the way in which there’s a feedback loop that sets up between Flynne’s world and Wilf’s world, and the way in which the two worlds vie with each other for supremacy or for the power struggle.
NATALI: Honestly, the challenge from my perspective, from a conceptual design perspective, was the book. It was about, “Can we do a job that pays proper homage to the book?” And then, it also was done during COVID, so there were tremendous pressures associated with managing a production under those circumstances. The entire show was cast on Zoom. I didn’t meet any of the actors until a couple weeks before we started shooting, and they started arriving in London.
