The Last of Us' Series in the Works at HBO From 'Chernobyl' Creator Craig Mazin, Neil Druckmann (Exclusive)

MARCH 05, 2020 9:30AMby*Borys Kit, Patrick Shanley

Craig Mazin, the creator of the acclaimed limited series*Chernobyl,*is reteaming with HBO adapt*The Last of Us, the massive Sony PlayStation video game franchise.
In a rare development in the world of video game adaptations, the writer and creative director of the game, Neil Druckmann, is also involved, and will work with Mazin to pen and executive produce what is intended to be a series.

Carolyn Strauss will also executive produce along with Evan Wells, the president of Naughty Dog, the Santa Monica-based developer of the game. The project is a co-production with Sony Pictures Television and in association with PlayStation Productions and it will be the first television series from PlayStation Productions.
Originally launched in 2013, Sony and Naughty Dog’s*The Last of Us*garnered critical praise for its engrossing tale of the post-apocalypse centered on the relationship between Joel, a smuggler in this new world, and Ellie, a teenager who may be a key to a cure for the deadly pandemic.
Joel, a hardened survivor, is hired to smuggle the14-year-old girl out of an oppressive quarantine zone. What starts as a small job soon becomes a brutal, heartbreaking journey, as they both must traverse across the U.S. and depend on each other for survival. The HBO series will cover the events of the original game, which was written by Druckmann, with the possibility of additional content based on the forthcoming game sequel,*The Last of Us Part II, which will release on May 29, 2020.
Mazin, who is said to be an avid player of the game, stated, “Neil Druckmann is without question the finest storyteller working in the video game medium, and*The Last of Us*is his magnum opus. Getting a chance to adapt this breathtaking work of art has been a dream of mine for years, and I’m so honored to do it in partnership with Neil.”
“From the first time I sat down to talk with Craig I was equally blown away by his approach to narrative and his love and deep understanding of*The Last of Us,” said Druckmann in a statement. “With*Chernobyl, Craig and HBO created a tense, harrowing, emotional masterpiece. I couldn’t think of better partners to bring the story of*The Last of Us*to life as a television show.”
Last of Us*won numerous “game of the year” awards and went on to sell more than 17 million copies across both its original release on the PlayStation 3 and a remastered version on the PlayStation 4.
“This is an incredibly exciting opportunity for us to partner with Craig, Neil, Carolyn and the teams at Sony, Naughty Dog and PlayStation to bring the virtual world of this acclaimed game to life,” stated HBO programming president Casey Bloys.
“This is the first of many shows we intend to develop with our friends at PlayStation Productions,” said Chris Parnell, co-president of Sony Pictures Television Studios.*The Last of Us*is a brilliant achievement in storytelling and character development, and we are lucky to have the opportunity to work with this team to adapt it.”
Druckmann is a longtime vet of Naughty Dog, starting as a programming intern in 2004. In 2007, he was given the role of game designer on*Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, the first installment in the action adventure series. In 2013, he created*The Last of Us, based on a concept he developed as a student at Carnegie Mellon University.
Mazin’s*Chernobyl*tackled a bleak and complex true-life event and became a must-see show for HBO. The show won an Emmy for outstanding limited series and landed one for Mazin for outstanding writing. Mazin also won a PGA and a WGA Award.


Holy shit this is gonna be awesome.

lol this episode actually was made in 2003

Again, the issue isn't the presence of gay characters. Gay people have existed for millenia.

Now granted, they've already made a couple significant narrative changes for the better, so going to give them a chance to see how they go about 'fixing' the other issues folks have and had

I think getting Jeffrey Wright on the show is a great addition. He’s as compelling an actor as Pedro Pascal in my opinion, though of course that says nothing about the character development.

This season is a bit of a step down but it’s still high quality TV that I’m definitely enjoying.

I think the point of the pride stuff was to demonstrate they were completely clueless as to what it meant.

It shows they grew up in a completely different world than us, in more ways than one.

You got that right.

You ever decide on if you'd rather have sex with your mom or your girlfriend?

The poster affected by meth here, very clearly isn't me. I retain my ability to think critically, read more than 3 sentences before becoming Bella Ramsey (a potato, if you're slow), understand what a wall of text actually is, and have no desire to pursue sexual intercourse with my own mother.

Why don't you just enjoy your shitty little adaptation of a terribly written story by Neil Druckmann, who spends his days in an echo chamber in which the air mixture is 10% oxygen and 90% anal vapor, dilphag9.

It's literally tailor made for someone who doesn't know their asshole from a bucket of sand such as yourself, and quite honestly, your little jabs at me are essentially the verbal equivalent of stepping on a rake.


If they really are planning on breaking the second game story into two seasons, this very well could be one of those shows that just gets canceled and never finished.

Like sure, you pissed some people off, some abandoned the show outright, others are still watching, but for how long? Do you really think people are going to come back for a season 3 after a waiting period just to see what happens to boring and unlikeable characters?

By the time season 3 is ready to be shown, the forgettable story will have been forgotten and nobody will really give a shit.

The impatient will investigate cinematics of the game, and when that absolutely dumb as ****, entirely braindead and pointless ending slaps them across the face, they won't be wasting anymore of their time with that story either.

In less than 2 decades it's gone from the gay community having their own culture/micro-cosom in every city...a "boystown" area, then being allowed to legally marry...to Target having Pride displays for children and tax payer-funded genital mutilation for minors. Tranny storytime for elementary school children...and homosexual material in the school libraries.

There is a MUCH darker and ancient element to this recent and overt glorification of homosexuals...it absolutely isn't an organic movement.

As far a shows...the A24 series Euphoria had a real-life trans character...and nothing felt fake or forced. Shows like this one are infusing a nefarious agenda into a story where it doesn't belong...everyone notices it as it removes suspension of disbelief and feels fake. It's "ok...here's the gay scene...fast forward until it's over"

[Hammock Parties]

Don't forget they forced you to look at a dick, too. Twice. Great scene but there was no reason to make the audience look at that dude's junk. Sickos at HBO.

The beautiful scenery of green Seattle.

This was a damn good episode that was really marred by a really reeruned writer inserting the "I'm going to be a Dad" line. It was also odd that the pregnancy confession created an amazing amount of heat in Dora the Explorer's crotch, too. (that and being saved)

Very weird scenes, and honestly I don't get how it helps the show. Not a gay thing, just a really ****ing odd thing.

Good episode but yeah cringe wtf scene and I'm a fan of the game. It's like someone else took over for that scene...the dad part smh

Real talk though Shimmer is carrying this season if you’re a straight white guy over 40

[TambaBerry]

real talk, they have just spent days possibly weeks traveling to Seattle. No shower, they ran through a dirty ass tunnel away from infected zombies. Clothes are clean as hell, their pussies would stink as well. Its just not believable at all. They're just making all kinds of noise in a huge city, slamming tanks, playing the guitar, there are supposedly zombies called clickers i believe i dont know i ahvent played the game but they just don't care at all it seems.

Bella also can't act worth a damn at least in this type of show. Her character is supposed to be a bad ass and when I look at her im just like who is she intimidating. I guess she can take down full grown muscular men no problem though but when she runs into the room with Joel she just gets knocked down by one girl.

Rothschild was known as the "Pindar"...the phallic of the serpent. Take another look at that Amazon logo. Bezos is just an errand boy...

The more you know...the more you wish you didn't.

I think we need a new thread that's not being over run with meth heads, psychotic conspiracy theorists, and an autistic incel.
