HBO’s upcoming The Last of Us series, starring Pedro Pascal, teases audiences with new footage that promises a game-accurate adaptation.
HBO's upcoming The Last of Us series teases audiences with new footage that promises a game-accurate adaptation. The Last of Us is based on a 2013 action-adventure game of the same name from developer Naughty Dog. The game sees a post-apocalyptic world brought on by a mutated fungus that can turn people into horrifying creatures. The game's protagonist is a smuggler named Joel who must escort Ellie, a young girl who may hold the key to a cure, across the remnants of the United States.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY The Last of Us show is fronted by former Game of Thrones talent, with Pedro Pascal playing Joel and Bella Ramsey as Ellie. They are joined by Gabriel Luna, Nick Offerman, Anna Torv, and Melanie Lynskey. The Last of Us has shown limited footage but has been teasing fans with an accurate adaptation of the game. This also likely stems from Neil Druckmann, the game's director, co-creating the series with Craig Mazin, who previously created Chornobyl for HBO.
How The Last Of Us Looks to Faithfully Adapt The Game Everything HBO has shared from The Last of Us proves they are striving for a game-accurate adaptation. Not only are several scenes pulled directly from the games, like the harrowing opening, but the look and feel of the post-apocalyptic world also have the same aesthetic.
Fans of video game adaptations are often left feeling underwhelmed, as many tend to butcher what they love, with lackluster results. Films like Street Fighter and Resident Evil are instances of fans not getting exactly what they were hoping for, even with the Resident Evil franchise persisting through six films. Even recent releases, like Uncharted, failed to deliver a game-accurate adaptation, instead lifting elements of the game to make their own amalgam of a movie.
