The incredible set of filmmakers tapped to direct episodes of TheLastOfUs has past filmography that reflects the themes of the game.
While video game adaptations have had a rough history, it finally looks like the entertainment industry has found a way to bring justice to classic games. Recently, both Sonic the Hedgehog and Uncharted were box office hits, and Super Mario Bros. is expected to be one of the biggest films of this year. However, there’s probably not been a more anticipated adaptation ever than The Last of Us, HBO’s series inspired by the 2013 game of the same name.
The series takes place two decades after the outbreak, but Joel is still processing his grief when he agrees to smuggle Ellie out of the quarantine zone. The series has a co-creator who is fit to handle the emotionally haunting material with Craig Mazin, the Emmy-winning showrunner behind HBO’s acclaimed historical drama Chernobyl. While Mazin is directing one installment in the first season, he's joined by an incredible set of filmmakers who reflect the themes of the game.
Jeremy Webb In addition to award-nominated filmmakers like Abassi, The Last of Us has also employed veteran television directors. Jeremy Webb has worked on such acclaimed shows as The Umbrella Academy, Altered Carbon, Shadow & Bone, and Masters of Sex. Neil Druckmann Obviously, the writer and the creative director of the original game is an obvious choice to ensure that the series remains tonally consistent with his initial vision. The Last of Us was praised not just for its gameplay, but for its story and writing that truly felt cinematic. The game also showed that Druckmann could work with actors to bring the quality of screen performances; Troy Baker and Ashley Johnson brought the emotional intensity of a feature film.
