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.

Yeah, agreed.

She's a legit decent to good actress, but she's got caught up in the tail end of the whiplash against DEI in the mainstream. She's done nothing to bring this on to herself other than take a role that focusses on playing a young gay girl that has to be strong, independent, and a ruthless killer in a dystopian nightmare of a world.

Bella Ramsey is estimated to have a net worth of $2 million, according to CelebrityNetWorth.com.

She was paid $70,000 per episode for season one of The Last of Us

Bella Ramsey hasn't begun to suffer.

Let me know when this happens to her.

Bruce Dern struggled to find acting jobs after co-starring opposite John Wayne in The Cowboys, which is on ITV4 this afternoon. His troubles began even before filming on the 1972 Western began.

Duke had just given an incredibly controversial Playboy interview sharing his views on civil rights and the treatment of Native Americans. In fact, Laura Dern remembers at the time some of her friends’ parents ended up cancelling play dates with her because of her father’s involvement in the movie. But what happened on set affected his career even more.

Over 50 years and Dern has said he still receives hate mail after his character Asa Watts killed Wayne’s Wil Andersen in The Cowboys. But he knew it was coming and so did Duke.

Asked if he still runs into fans who are upset about it, the actor said: “No question. But I knew that would happen. I knew on the day when I had to shoot him, when we did that scene, that he had never even had a bullet squib put on him before in his career."

I dont know what she said about something they found offensive? Stupid? Whatever... I give celebrity and athletes comments on political or social topics zero shits.

I'll always remember her fondly for her role in GOT.

[Wallcrawler]

She came out as gender fluid, and Neil Druckmann, a stalwart DEI champion absolutely couldn't help himself. Ramsey got the role of Ellie despite looking, sounding, or acting nothing like her digital counterpart.

It's even more hilarious that the obvious choice for Ellie was miscast as Abby.

Druckmann simply could not resist the opportunity to crater The Last Of Us for a second time.

Anything that came about from Star Wars deserves no awards and should be exiled from this planet

It's the best television show I've seen produced in any genre since The Leftovers finished airing, which was about 8 years ago now.

Heard the same from people who tried watching Leftovers and stopped too. They then missed one of the greatest shows of all time as a result.

Andor also is nothing like any Star Wars content ever created. It’s hardly Star Wars at all, at least not in the sense that anybody traditionally understands it (whether that be under George Lucas or under Dave Filoni who has tried his best to replicate that tone).
