Marlene charts a plan of action in a new image from 'The Last of Us.'
We are days away from HBO’s highly anticipated video game adaptation The Last of Us. The series stars Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey as central characters Joel and Ellie and by the looks of the promotional material the series looks like the most faithful adaptation of a video game. To amp up the excitement around the upcoming feature the official Twitter handle of the series keeps teasing fans with new looks.
A new image from the series sees Merle Dandridge’s Marlene, head of Fireflies, charting her plans on a map along with another member. Without giving away any spoilers, if you’ve played the game, one look at the image, and you understand that reference. The interesting thing about The Last of Us’ promotional images, trailers, and posters has been that it excites both the casual on-lookers and the avid fans of the game which only adds to the excitement of the series.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY The series is created by games’ director Neil Druckmann and Chernobyl fame Craig Mazin who have worked very hard to keep the story's emotional core intact in a similar vein to the games. The duo has a big responsibility to fulfill fans' expectations as historically, video game adaptations have not been able to make a mark with the audience. However, The Last of Us looks very promising and has the potential to be HBO’s next big IP.
