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.

Rumble would literally rip her face off and use it as a rug.

A ferocious but jovial animal.

The Raptor is far superior to Rumble and if you don’t believe me, see this list.

HBO: Think you can’t hate Bella Ramsey any more?

Here’s a whole ass episode of Joel professing his love to her in various manly ways as she treats him like a piece of shit while pursuing her gayness

Yeah, I liked this episode. The talk with his father, “I hope you’re a little better than me”, hit hard.

Spoiler!

Ellie is also super annoying but Joel really could have brought homeboy back to see his wife.

Nah he did the absolute right thing, with him and his wife, he just should’ve been straight with it but he’s trying to protect everyone…which is the point…you can’t

What I thought was smart was how ol boy was pulled back by horses in the bloody white blanket wrap the same way ol girl had to pull Joel back to town

Joel assessed that Eugene wasn’t going to make it back in time and that it wasn’t worth the risk. Don’t think there was much reason to conclude he was wrong about that.

That wasn’t what actually bothered Ellie anyway. It was the ease with which he lied in the same way he did about the Fireflies which allowed her to conclude beyond a doubt what happened back then.

If this episode made you hate Ellie, then you don't understand a single ****ing thing about relationships or hormonal teenage girls.

She was already questioning whether or not if he was lying about the firefly's and then he lies straight to her face as he swore he wasn't going to kill Eugene. The way he lied was just like how he told her bandits killed the firefly's. It pissed her off how he could just lie to her so easily.

There isn't anything wrong, cringe, or unlikable with her reaction. Just people stretching for reasons to not like her because they don't find her attractive. She's been great.
