The Last of Us (HBO) TV Show • Page 2

I didn't know about Bill's casting until the latest teaser but holy shit it makes so much sense.

 

Yeah, I think this one will be tough to get into as it's not like it's a book where the adaption is compared to what my brain has created, there are voices and visuals already established. I'm excited and in no way trying to go into this negatively, but it's not the typical adaption I'm used to so it'll take me a minute to get things reconciled. Looking forward to hopefully seeing a full trailer soon.

 

I think I’m going to have the most trouble getting used to live action Ellie just because Ashley Johnson’s voice is burned into my brain for that role. Hopefully the remake/remaster whatever they’re calling it for part 1 of the game comes out before this. I’d like to replay it before I start watching.

 

I'm actually going to replay the games asap as to create some distance between my playthrough and the series. I'd rather create space for my brain to let go of the game before watching a brand new set of talent take over.

 

Remake comes out next month I think

 

This a prequel or an adaptation from the first game?

 

All on the record quotes about the show, say that it is a faithful adaptation of the game but it will explore and expand on certain story beats but to expect the same overall arc. From that tiny teaser alone, there were some scenes that looked almost dead on replications of the game.

Personally I think Henry and Sam and Bill will all be fleshed out much further but the Joel/Ellie stuff will be mostly the same.

 

Gonna be even more heartbreaking if we spend more time with Henry and Sam in the show.

 

I'm anticipating a side story with them and some cuts back and forth until they meet. I think we will spend a surprising amount of time with other characters but who knows. I don't think they've established how episodes there are but I'm going to guess 10 so the story needs to be stretched out a little compared to the game.

 

I'm expecting something like that too. 8-10 episodes is my guess

 

Every time I’m reminded this is happening I continue to be angry that HBO hasn’t bought the rights for World War Z yet

Throw whatever it takes at Brad Pitt to make that happen please, HBO

 

nothing wrong with spending time with me

 

I'd spend time with you

 

Trailer tomorrow. I feel it in my bones.

 

The day is early, but per the twitter link to the naughtydog blog, it appears the celebration is bit more subdued than a trailer drop. Maybe there's more to come, but maybe not. I don't have my hopes up.

EDIT: Spoke a little too soon. HBO has a 5 second teaser up that features the clicker sound so maybe the trailer is back on at some point.

 

lets fucking go

 

Incredible

 

Nice. Shows next to nothing plot wise for those that aren't familiar with the game and no release date but still... first real glimpse and looks great.

 

Love both actors from GoT, don't think they really look like Ellie and Joel but I'm sure they'll do a fabulous job. Trailer has me hyped for sure.

 

It looks perfect. I still just do not like the Ellie casting but I expect to be won over pretty immediately lol

 

forgot this was being made by that anti-labor dork mazin

promising first footage though

 

Excuse me, award winning anti-labor dork mazin, thank you

 

Ohhh they got Left Behind stuff in there. Can't wait

 

Looks great. Curious where the first season will end. It looks like Ellie's in chains at some point in the trailer, so assume we'll get up to David at least
