What was your visual approach to creating each setting, and what stylistic choices did you make to contrast the past and present? Advertisement Speaker 1: A lot of that was Vincenzo Natali, one of our directors, [and was in] the book, and [also the input of producers] Lisa [Joy] and Jonah [Nolan]. I think that we always felt that Clanton should be warm, with the feel of sunlight, and that London should be darker—not just emotionally, but even just an ambient sense. First, she orders his pitch to be lowered. We also didn’t want to do the South as this utterly depressing wasteland; people made their lives there, and they were happy there. reaching a settlement with one victim's family, marking the first known settlement of all of the cases surrounding the deadly music festival. And that was really important to us. Still not quite right. io9: I haven’t read the book yet unfortunately, but I get the sense that your take on The Peripheral is pretty similar, although there are some key divergences that you made. Another person who was at the festival, Niaara Goods, told the Associated Press that “as soon as he jumped out on the stage, it was like an energy took over and everything went haywire. How did you decide to branch off in certain places, and what was important to you to keep in the story? Advertisement Smith: We knew that there had to be a central driving mystery, so we shifted that a little bit and refined that the things that—again, I keep saying the same thing, but the the relationships, the Clanton world, were definitely important for us to to keep. Perfect.. Pulling Flynne toward the center, making her sort of the proxy for the viewer and the doorway into into the world—it’s there in the book, but we knew that had to be heightened to some degree. io9: Chloë’s performance really holds the center together. “Give half of the characters feigned Southern accents and make the other half British,” you can imagine somebody saying. In casting did you know right away that she was the perfect Flynne? Advertisement Smith: When we found out that she was interested, we were ecstatic. Terms of the settlement are confidential, Buzbee says, and the family wants people to remember Axel as a"beloved son, brother and student" who was also"kind and loving" and is"greatly missed. She did her own fights! There was some stuff—flipping-type stuff, where they would bring in [a stuntperson]. Not quite right. Scott has previously stated on social media that he is “devastated” by the events at his concert. But a lot of it was was Chloë. Also, she is from the South; she would fine-tune everyone’s accent and missteps with the dialect. Perfect. She’s kind of the smartest person on set at any given moment, and she’s had [tons of] experience. She’d been [acting] since she was a kid. She got Flynne, she identified with Flynne and—I don’t remember how many days of shooting, over 100, 117 or something.” Scott maintained during the interview that he had no idea people were dying in the crowd during his performance. And she was there for almost every one. So it’s incredible. Burton (Jack Reynor) raises a glass in Clanton. Image Prime Video Advertisement io9: Alternate realities and multiverses have never been more popular in the sci-fi entertainment realm. Why do you think that particular story hook is so resonant with audiences today and how does your series stand apart from the others? Smith: I mean, Jonah talks a lot about this. Gibson’s take on time travel and the “stubs” [divergent timelines], the way that contact is made through this, and [the idea that] what travels is data. That was the kind of the ball that we took from him and went running with. As to why [these stories are popular nowadays], I guess because—even something like Zoom, the fact that we’re we’re interacting like this—we can do this, and VR, and AR. It’s a time right now where I think those questions are just everyday on some level.
