Hopefully HBO will finally release in Australia by the time this drops.

HBO is pressing play on a series adaptation of The Last of Us.

The premium cable outlet has picked up the drama based on the hugely popular video game franchise from Craig Mazin (Chernobyl) and the game's writer and creative director, Neil Druckmann. HBO and Sony Pictures TV are producing along with PlayStation Productions, Word Games and game developer Naughty Dog.

"Craig and Neil are visionaries in a league of their own," said HBO Programming executive vp Francesca Orsi. "With them at the helm alongside the incomparable Carolyn Strauss, this series is sure to resonate with both die-hard fans of The Last of Usgames and newcomers to this genre-defining saga. We're delighted to partner with Naughty Dog, Word Games, Sony and PlayStation to adapt this epic, powerfully immersive story."

The Last of Us series is set 20 years after the destruction of modern civilization. It centers on Joel, a hardened survivor of the apocaplypse, who's hired to smuggle a 14-year-old girl named Ellie out of an oppressive quarantine zone. The seemingly small job becomes a brutal journey as they come to depend on each other for survival.

Time to cast Chloe Moretz for Abby

GAF would love that.

I have No Idea If Chloe Moretz Is Attractive

The poor thing was cute enough when she was younger and had every indication that she was going to grow up to be an attractive young women.... and then at some point she turned into a T-800 covered in living human tissue. Some of these images maybe be modified to make her look more...

i'd be interested if Naughty Dog were not involved. i loved the first game but they really put me off TLOU with Part 2. it's gonna be a damn woke fest.

 

[and 3 others]

Focus more on the outbreak 1st season please.

 

[Deleted member 1159]

Focus more on the outbreak 1st season please.

Tommy and Joel backstory would be amazing too

 

[Calcium]

After what they did with the story in the sequel I'm not even going to bother.

 

[DetectiveBananas]

Here’s hoping they stray away from Part 2 and do something different. Learn from past mistakes and give viewers something better.

 

[DetectiveBananas]

Focus more on the outbreak 1st season please.

I would assume that getting through the first games content will be at least 2 seasons worth.

 

[Revolutionary]

I'll check it out but I found Chernobyl to be nauseatingly overdramatized, so I expect the same of this.

 

[thefool]

I just want to see Abby pegging some dudes.

[EverydayBeast]

Hbo will get a lot of mileage out of the last of us universe id rather have a movie tho

 

[Chaplain]

Has anyone seen this?

 

[Werewolf Jones]

Don't just adapt the game, there's more to the universe than an escort mission.

 

[VulcanRaven]

I'm excited about this but it probably won't be as good as the game. Some stories work better in games.

 

[xrnzaaas]

The Rock as Abby plz.

 

[Kadayi]

 

[Wings 嫩翼翻せ]

Cool trailer ^^

 

[TrainedRage]

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahaha*breathes*Hahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahaha

 

[sobaka770]

Awesome news, can't wait to see it circa 2022

 

[NecrosaroIII]

What's the point. The games are basically movies themselves

 

[ZehDon]

What's the point. The games are basically movies themselves

Pretty much; what exactly are you adapting? You’re literally just re-shooting the extensive cutscenes and removing the gameplay.

First game wasn't woke enough. Just get rid of Joel and start the lesbian plot as soon as possible.
