In March, it was announced that HBO would be making a series based on one of Naughty Dog’s most famous video games, The Last of Us. At the moment, the project looks encouraging because Craig Mazin, the creator of Chernobyl, will be overseeing it, and Neil Druckmann, the game’s writer and director, will be actively involved in the work. However, adaptations of movies and video player series are notorious for not going well. In any case, Troy Baker, an actor who voices Joel on TLOU, is optimistic.
In an interview with Fandom, Baker said it was a good idea to do a TLOU series instead of a movie, because he thought it would be impossible to condense the 16-hour experience into 2 hours, as he put it, it would “go beyond distillation would be cutting “. On the other hand, being able to tell the story of the game in an episodic way, almost one by one, creates a great opportunity for more people to meet.
But the actor still thinks that “nothing will be like” a play. He gave the example of a scene where the story changes from autumn to winter, the player finds Ellie hunting alone in the snow and uses the analog arm to get in the way. Start with the character: he believes that this experience cannot be translated from one game to another medium. But he believes the series can “get closer” and provide a different experience for people who for some reason don’t want to interact with characters like that.
TV version of The Last of Us for the moment it is still in the design phase. However, the game’s sequel, The Last of Us Part 2, will be released on PlayStation 4 on June 19.
