HBO's Last Of Us Show Set Photos Reveal Filming Of Game-Accurate Scene
New set photos from The Last of Us reveal how the show is at least somewhat directly adapting the game. The upcoming HBO show is based on Naughty Dog's post-apocalyptic action-adventure game of the same name. The Last of Us game released in 2013 and not only sold out over 17 million copies by 2018, but it also received unanimous praise from critics and two prestigious year-end game awards. The game's financial performance prompted director Sam Raimi to tap it for a movie adaptation. However, those plans did not work out, and HBO ultimately leaped in and ordered The Last of Us TV show to series.
Developed by Chernobyl creator Craig Mazin, The Last of Us stars The Mandolorian's Pedro Pascal as Joel, a smuggler who is tasked with escorting Bella Ramsey's teenage Ellie out of the quarantine zone. As per the original games, it is believed that her DNA could be used to develop a vaccine for the deadly Cordyceps brain infection. Gabriel Luna, Jeffery Pierce, Nick Offerman, Anaa Torv, and Storm Reid star alongside Pascal and Ramsey, with original voice actors Merle Dandridge, Troy Baker, and Ashley Johnson also appearing in key roles. Although The Last of Us wrapped filming in June, new information and behind-the-scenes images from the show continue to surface.
