So much hatred in this thread.

It might be good. It might be garbage. Let's see.

 

[CitizenX3639]

Love the LoU but can they really do anything we havent played or watched before? As Post Apocalyptic is my favorite setting, gotta say it a little tired right now.

 

[OmegaSpear]

I wish it was coming to Netflix. HBO won't see a dime of me unless they go the streaming route.

Ugh....

I wish I could be excited. It's probably going to be woke garbage.

 

[Wandering Leopard]

I'm always curious about these adaptations.

Specifically - why most gamers want the actors to look like the characters from the game.
- I don't know anything about casting but wouldn't acting ability, and chemistry between actors be the most important factors?

Hugh Jackman for Joel please

Ellen Page has gotten too old now. I could see Maisie Williams(GOT) or Millie Bobby Brown(Stranger Things)

Maisie could pull it off.

Can't wait for The Last of Us to be bold and daring by having the first gay sex scene in a HBO show!*

Six Feet Under, Oz, Game of Thrones, The Wire, etc don't count cuz I'm 13 and haven't seen them but wanted Twitter clout lol*

 

[Kadayi]

Maisie could pull it off.

Deepfakes?

I happy to read this. Do only one thing at a time Neil.

Wouldn't it be more likely the HBO series will focus on different group of characters?

The story of the game is still ongoing, and I doubt Part II will be the last entry,
Would be pretty redundant for them to make a show only tell the same story and follow the same exact characters as the game.

Would make sense but judging by Druckman‘s tweet on this very page it seems like the game’s characters will be in the show.

I'd prefer this too. It could even be canon to the games, just set in a different location.

The Last of Us HBO Series Finds First Episode Director - IGN

Emmy-winning Chernobyl helmer to kick off Joel and Ellie's adventure.

www.ign.com

Pilot episode has its director

This past March, HBO confirmed that it's teaming up with Naughty Dog to make a Last of Us TV show - which will replace the long-planned film adaptation.


Creator of HBO's Chernobyl (and writer of the upcoming Borderlands movie, directed by Eli Roth and starring Cate Blanchett), Craig Mazin, is executive producing and writing the series alongside Naughty Dog's Neil Druckmann and recently, in an interview with Discussing Film, Johan Renck, who won an Emmy for directing all five episode of Chernobyl, confirmed he is on board to executive produce The Last of Us and direct "at least" the pilot episode.

Renck has also directed episode of Breaking Bad, Vikings, The Walking Dead, and Bates Motel.

Hugh Jackman for Joel please

[Lebron87]
