Just yesterday we learned that the Ghost of Tsushima movie already has its own screenwriter. The PlayStation Productions projects They are still going, with the Uncharted movie as the biggest exponent and the promising series of The Last of Us on the horizon.
In the leading roles of Ellie and Joel, we have Bella Ramsey and Pedro Pascal and it was the latter who has spoken about the production in GQ. He cannot reveal the actor too much, but he has made a comparison with his other stellar series, The Mandalorian, and makes it clear that the product will live up to expectations.
“There’s a very, very creative way of honoring what’s important and also preserving what’s iconic in the video game experience, and also [de incluir] things you wouldn’t necessarily expect. And then the directions that you would expect them to go in, and they might not… they’re doing some really smart stuff, that’s all I can say.
It’s similar to how Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni treat The Mandalorian, in how [Mazin y Druckmann] treat The Last of Us: it’s in good hands because they love it. Well clearly Neil created the game, but Craig loves it. So it really is made for people who love it. And there’s some very intense storytelling for people who may be less familiar.”
On the other hand, Pascal has tried to play the virtual The Last of Us. Tried is the right word, since he has failed to finish it due to his lack of skillas he himself admits:
“It’s so sad, I don’t have any skills. I tried, you know. And then it was only a matter of minutes before I had to give it to my nephew. It really takes a specific kind of skill, and I don’t have it.”
Still, he did get a good look at his nephew’s departure, which was enough to make a big splash for Joel. “I found it [a Joel] so impressive, found it all to be a visually stunning experience. And then I got worried that I wanted to mimic too much, which I think might be right in some circumstances, and then wrong in others,” Pascal explains.
We don’t know when it will be released The Last of Us series for HBObut the truth is that it will not happen in 2022. What we can see are new behind-the-scenes clips of how the filming is taking place.
