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.

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.

Maybe someday your literary palette will exceed comic books and video games...but keep pretending your ignorance speaks for others.

If the world ended and I could die at any moment I'm going to make some concessions on the condition of any pussy near me

Seriously though, how many of yall playing this game?

I'm into some weird stuff, but a post-apocalyptic coming of age lesbian game is too much for even me

My "literary palette" doesn't include comic books or video games. I've read less than 1 comic book in my entire life and havent played more than a few sonic games with my kids in the last 15 years.

I'm not sure what gave you the impression that I read comic books or play video games. I guess we can't all have the exquisite taste for 4chan and Nicholas Sparks novels.

Or, you could just ban yourself from this one, since you're literally all three of those categories.

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.

I think Im out. I have no problem with gays. It is just not a great storyline this season and so much cringe.

I really enjoyed listening to Take On Me in guitar for four minutes. Was it supposed to be breathtaking or something?

Precisely the problem with this show. It has no idea what it wants to be.

It's like someone plopped a bunch of plant zombies in the middle of a season of Girls.

And I watched like three seasons of Girls.

You're such a dip shit. Quit watching and posting if you hate it that much. Let others enjoy what they want to enjoy. Plenty of other threads for you troll and get your daily dose of attention. Maybe make up some more stuff about an assistant coach and put it out there if you are really craving attention that bad.
