A TV series that can really stretch out and explore the spaces of this story is, in my view, more likely to do it justice than a film. There is a bountiful amount of material here to be explored, both based on what we see in the game, and what we don’t. There are long gaps in the timeline in which we do not play or see anything. Joel and Ellie’s journey is broken up into four sections: Summer, Autumn, Winter, and Spring.
The structure of The Last Of Us’ would lend itself well to the small screen. In more recent years the buzz shifted to a potential TV series. I wrote about it way back in 2016 when the plan was still to make a movie version of the game’s story. I wrote more about the game-and its incredible sequel- here.įans of the game have been waiting for an adaptation of The Last Of Us for a long time. On this canvas developer Naughty Dog painted a truly heartbreaking yet beautiful-and also brutal-story of a middle-aged veteran smuggler (Joel) and a teenage girl (Ellie) trying to make their way across the country in an effort to find a possible cure for the disease.
It’s a third person adventure/survival game set in a near-future United States that has been almost totally devastated by an airborne virus that turns everyone into zombie-like ‘infected’. The Last Of Us is considered by many to be one of the best video games ever made. Happy days! It’s not often in 2020 that news breaks that makes you smile, but sometimes the odd ray of light breaks through: HBO has officially greenlit their adaptation of the hit 2013 PlayStation game The Last Of Us.
