Bella Ramsey – who plays Ellie in HBO's upcoming The Last of Us TV adaptation - was advised not to play the game ahead of joining the show.

During her audition for the part, Ramsey was asked if she'd played any of Naughty Dog's critically-acclaimed game. When she answered honestly -"nope" - she was apparently"encouraged" not to.."After my first audition, they asked me, 'Have you played it?' And I said 'nope', and they said, 'Keep it that way'."But I'm so excited for it to come out – it was such a big part of my life," she said.

"Pedro wrote a little card to me at the end, saying, 'How interesting that something so huge and life-changing should happen so early in your life and so late in mine'. I thought it was a really sweet observation and I just had the best time."This new trailer gives us all a closer look at Ellie and Joel in action as they make their way across America.
