‘Revolution’ Scoop: Producer Eric Kripke Answers Your Burning Premiere Questions
Posted in: Today's ChiliAfter watching the first episode of “Revolution,” you may have questions. With any luck, some of those questions are answered in this interview with the show’s executive producer and showrunner, Eric Kripke.
“Revolution,” which also counts J.J. Abrams and “Iron Man” director Jon Favreau among its executive producers, takes place 15 years into the future, in a world in which all electricity — anything that can throw a spark or carry a charge — doesn’t work any more. The country has been taken over by various factions and militias, and in Monday’s premiere, the Matheson family was torn apart by Captain Neville (Giancarlo Esposito), a high-ranking officer doing the bidding of those running the Monroe Republic.
According to the producers, we’ll see flashbacks to the early days of the blackout in upcoming episodes, and Esposito, who talked about playing Neville in a recent interview, says viewers will learn more about the hardscrabble lives of average citizens and the “world of ease” occupied by high-ranking Monroe Republic officials. Fellow cast member Elizabeth Mitchell promised lots of “swashbucking sword action” in this interview.
