HBO - The Last of Us
@HBO: Look for the light.
@clmazin and @Neil_Druckmann to develop the series adaptation of #TheLastOfUs, coming soon to HBO: http://itsh.bo/thelastofus https://twitter.com/HBO/status/12356...572032/video/1 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. Last edited by Sure-Oz; 03-05-2020 at 11:50 AM.. |

Thank god. You chimed in on every Amtrak disaster that I figured you might actually have some sense of what you were talking about. Now that I know you lack all sense of relevance in that realm I can assume the same for all of your posts going forward. My mother is traveling on Amtrak tomorrow and I can sleep more soundly knowing that you are completely irrelevant to her travels.
Thank you for clearing that up. |

Played through the game last night for nostalgia sake and lined up with the show this episode or next, man I love Bill, such a fun character, hoping Nick Offerman does it justice and isn't just Nick Offerman playing a guy named Bill.

Why would anyone think that a prevailing, unwritten tradition that's been here for 20 years would continue to exist in yet another thread? That's just crazy talk! Why would anyone expect to not see a spoiler on a game that's merely 3 years old, that most people probably haven't played? That'd be like, not knowing Biden is president or some shit, amirite? This is just obvious information that's just oozing from every crevice of the internet! You'd have to be living under a rock to not have heard key story arcs to Last of Us II! |

This isn't hard: Have some ****ing common courtesy. Respect the tradition of CP Media Center.
If you accidently spoil something in the course of conversation, that's ok. Just go back and fix it with spoiler tags real fast. Don't be a dick. Have courtesy. Quit shitting on unwritten rules. It's not that hard. Act like a ****ing adult. |

Man, Im so mad. I was told by everyone this isn't just another zombie show. What the **** would you call it then? What is so original about it?
They also should have killed the ugly girl instead of the black daughter and switched roles. She looks like she was hit in the face by a log chain. |

i finally found the time to watch the first episode. man i am not going to lie, maybe im just a piece of shit, but i am having such a hard time getting through every scene that involves bella ramsey. i just cant get over her weird looking face.
at least with adam scott in severance he had some redeeming qualities about him like his ability to act or just not looking nearly as alien like. i could even see him being some chicks type but her though man? what the **** were they thinking casting this bitch? she literally looks like roger from american dad |

Is everyone talking about the immune girl?
She is definitely distractingly weird looking lol I can appreciate her in media, though. If this girl and that hideous chick from Handmaid’s Tale can find consistent work in Hollywood, goes to show it isn’t all about looks. |
