The Last of Us (HBO)

The insanely popular video game is getting an HBO adaptation series, it seems.

Oh wow. Being helmed by the dude who did Chernobyl? That sounds amazing.

Is it really insanely popular?

How many people even had a PS3?

i might see depending on the cast

So it's been confirmed that Pedro Pascal (you know who he is) is playing Joel, and Bella Ramsey (Game of Thrones) is Ellie.

Great, another opportunity for writers to create nothing original and still call themselves writers. That said, this could turn out good if they can capture the atmosphere of the game.

Seem to remember everyone hated that girl from GoT, I actually quite liked the character and Pedro Pascal, that guy is turning into Fassbender 2021.

Hell yes for Pedro, but I really didn't care for Bella Ramsey in GoT, most kid actors annoy on some level as is, but she was especially annoying in GoT.

It's the writer, Craig Mazin, that's involved although Johan Renck is down as a producer. Kantemir Balagov is directing.

I loved the first game and despite the second being utter garbage undeserving of it's name, I'll still watch this.

Druckmann being involved doesn't excite me in the slightest. Guy's a retard in the same vein of Zack Snyder.

Not an actual trailer as its cut with voices from the game. But some visuals at least.

Never played the game, but I like the premise and Pascal is a solid actor. Still wary of Bella Ramsey, she was annoying in every GoT scene.

They’re gonna expand the story beyond the game with original material.

This looks okay to me. I’ll wait for the pilot.

Looks pretty good.

Hard to say by the trailer, not enough meat on it.

Looks fine.

I'm still not entirely sold on this tough. The game's story is very generic and only works as well as it does because it is a game. This allows you to be Joel and connect more with the characters than if you were merely watching it which adds another layer of separation. As a TV show I'd imagine it loses that and becomes just another generic zombie show. But I guess we'll see.

And Ellie looks completely miscast.

watched the trailer earlier. looks fairly good, however do i have to play the game?
