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.

As I play some different titles, for sure.

I always know your bitch ass is gonna be first to click on it.

It's such a strange hatred you have for videogames. You channel some heavy "mad cuz bad" energy. What 10 year old raped your face repeatedly and told you he was your new daddy? Lmao. As they say, if at first you don't succeed, cry like TwistedPanties and swear off the activity entirely, while giving the poorest efforts possible to dissuade anyone who enjoys it from continuing, through insults.

It's cute that you believe you matter.

Why don't you bring this teary eyed, shaky handed rage to the videogames thread and shit on the myriad members of CP there?

Or is that thread the ****ing unicorn? The singular thread in the message board universe that you have no interest in, and also refrain from entering?

You're a joke, ****. I'll be writing more reviews, just knowing you're hate fapping and screaming into your pillow over their very existence, along with your inability to stop yourself from clicking on it.

As you've proven yourself either a professional moron, or an exceptionally gifted amateur, I'll explain it real ****in slow for you.

I didn't play the Last of Us 2. The leaks came out about what Druckmann did to the franchise, and I, along with about 50% of the fans of the first game (based on sales) didn't play that shit.

Hey man, how could you know? You only drop in to spout some half assed insults at people, you don't really have any idea about the conversation that has taken place.

Plus, you're a ****ing reerun to boot. The game was rigged against you from the start, sweetie.

Now go run along and shake your fist at the clouds and be sure to tell everyone you interact with what a worthless pursuit videogames really are, you angry little sack of shit you.

There is nothing easier than getting him riled up enough to post a wall of text saying nothing. It’s like a simple reflex for him. Classic.

It says plenty, and one would think a **** with a superiority complex, and thinks he's the smartest guy in the room could actually fashion a rebuttal that didn't whine about a post longer than 3 sentences.

Are you really on the same level as the drooling, family banging dilphag9?

Sad day.

You've proven your complete idiocy multiple times just in this thread alone.

Have your handlers read it to you the next time they have to get you out of your mother dilphag. We all know you saw the post was longer than 3 sentences, sharted and passed out.

Don’t take this the wrong way, but I’m struggling to take anyone seriously who spends time writing the following:

The weapons synergize with the shield gimmick in the way of an immensely well crafted Borderlands character class. Like parrying a green attack now allows you to spam your rocket launcher point blank for several seconds, with any blast that would damage you, now healing you instead. That was a very tough weapon to shift away from, given the abundance of ammo in the game, one could literally be the equivalent of Wolverine carrying a rocket launcher through the entire campaign and be essentially unkillable.

Have we thought about making the zombies gay for season 3?

Can you please post more comments on excerpts of reviews for games you have no experience with? We need your vapid thoughts on subjects that you have zero knowledge of. It proves just how self-aware and how much time you have with productive pursuits.

This season might have been less gay though than last season.

Last season they had one full episode dedicated to a gay doomsday prepper. Then another episode to a young love Ellie lesbo interest.

This season just simply sucks.

They always ramp up the wokeness in season 2 if the show got popular.

"go woke" it's like people didn't realize the entire story of this has existed for a long time and the decided to watch it and complain anyway.
