    Haven’t read the books, but this looks solid. Apple TV has a good track record so I give this benefit of the doubt, but I do get slight ‘generic prestige show’ vibes from the overall look and feel of it (in terms of cinematography and design). Hopefully I’m wrong.

    I’m sure sure this will be fine and the story is fine and the concept is fine…..but that trailer was so uninspired I tuned out way to fast.

    Guys….it’s always one big lie.

    The Silo books are one of my favourite series, and I’ve been dreaming of the day they would adapt it to film. The trailer looks great, I hope to hell it ends up being good.

    At first I thought the actor in the preview thumbnail was Scarlett Johansen. And while I think she does a perfectly fine job in the roles she’s cast in and it’s not *her* fault she was the only female directors wanted to cast for a while, I was like “you guys cannot be serious.”

    i hope the big reveal isn’t that the silo is on mars or something. because they hinted at that in the trailer, and i would have liked to be surprised by that instead

    Wow, I read the first couple of books – they are short and fun. Love the trailer!

    P.S. Lady Jessica is in this world too 🙂

    As someone who literally just picked the series back up – after reading Wool when it released and forgetting about it – and read all three since Valentine’s Day, I’m fucking pumped….

    And as that same person that literally finished the series 5 hours ago, this trailer can go either way. I see **huge** potential that I think they’ve tethered, and I see **huge** disappointment. But with that epilogue at the last, I guess I’ll get exactly what I’m expecting – unless I cock my head and squint.

    Apple fucked up Foundation real bad. They needed to add a lot to translate it to screen but they kind of inexplicably changed really important things. Make Salvor Hardin a woman of color, whatever the character was paper thin to begin with. The Emperor stuff was interesting but make psychohistory about individual actions more than sociological forces? Blasphemy. Maybe this is more amenable to adaptation but not a great record on doing justice to scifi books.

    Jeezes Christ not again with the same sci-fi trope we have seen the past fifteen years. Let me guess: there’s one big lie to protect the people but they find out and start a revolution. Flat characters that anybody can identify with and zero character development. Sloppy plot with a plot device that’s being used to explain everything like there’s a virus or aliens or sth.
    I used to love sci-fi…

    Just to counterbalance the comments praising the book series – I read through the entirety of the first book (Wool) and regretted spending my time on it at the end. The characters were all shallow one-note “goodies” or “baddies”, and the plot’s central premise after all the reveals was incredibly contrived and nonsensical. I thought the best parts were little bits of world-building about life in the silo, but there wasn’t really enough of it to redeem the book for me. I personally would not recommend it to anyone.

    This looks really good. Is Apple TV known for continuing a series if popular or are they known for ending shows without a proper ending? (like Netflix and many others)

    I hope Foundations comes back, and i’ll renew my subscription right away.

    Omfg I had no idea this was in development! The Silo Trilogy is criminally underrated! And I cant believe the lady who played Jessica in Dune is also playing Jules. Literally my two favorites books being represented here and I cannot wait to see this!

    FYI, the entire series is $1.99 on Kindle right now! I haven’t read it but I bought it anyways because it’s such a good deal and the trailer looks interesting enough.
