Look for the light.

@clmazin and @Neil_Druckmann to develop the series adaptation of #TheLastOfUs, coming soon to HBO: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/he...reator-1282707

This is great news. Better to go for the TV series route rather than a movie.

Had it been a movie I would've been so picky and analytical. And as we know video game movies aren't usually the best. With a TV series they can really have room to explore more.

Agreed. If done right this could be a hit the size of Game of Thrones. This could virtually be HBO's Walking Dead, and it will do Walking Dead better than Walking Dead does Walking Dead.

This series feels like it could suffice with a single season.

Oh I definitely would want this series to end before it overstays its welcome unlike TWD, and hopefully delivers an ending that satisfies fans unlike GOT.

HBO is the perfect fit for The Last of Us. Very much so looking forward to this show.

Dont do this to me, OP, don't give me hope for this.

There were apparently talks of a Last of Us movie being made a couple of years ago (i think) and i havent heard anything since.
Im really looking forward to the 2nd part of the game in May

Seems pretty official. The Hollywood Reporter dropped the exclusive and both Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann confirmed it on their twitter accounts. Barring a breakdown in the production process, it seems this is actually happening.

Interesting if I'm not mistaken the game was supposedly going to be a movie but it was stuck in development hell cool that it will be a series on HBO and the fact the game creator wants to be involved to make sure it is done right which is one of the many problems when it comes to video game made into movies.

Please cast unknowns for this.

I still have yet to play this game, but this is fantastic news.

I envy you. When I played this for the first time, it just felt special. Going the HBO route makes so much sense. Can't wait.

As long as HBO handles this better than Sony Pictures has been handling ND’s UNCHARTED franchise...

Glad to hear this HBO has been putting out some great shows. True Detective, Westworld, Chernobyl, to name three. Looking forward to seeing what they do with it.

A Sith Lord? · 03-05-2020, 11:04 PM

My vote is Dylan McDermott and Ellen Paige.

Depends. If the show takes place around the time of The Last of Us 2, then Ellen would be the perfect age.

I just joked because if you look closely, both characters were clearly designed to look almost like McDermott and Page.

It's not a complete conversion like Norman Reedus. But it's pretty damn spot on to be their doppelgangers.
