The Last of Us (TV Show)

Judah_TheBreadman · December 2020

Just recently heard the news that there will be a last of us tv show, I'm very excited for it and I was curious what the rest of the Bald Move community was thinking/ if there was an interest for podcast coverage for it when it inevitably releases.

I think a beat for beat adaptation would be just as cool as a new story set in that world. But Ellie and Joel are so much of what makes that story excellent so I’m leaning more toward the adaptation

I'm stoked for it. Craig Mazin (Chernobyl) and Neil Druckmann (Last of Us videogames) are the showrunners so it definitely has the blueprint to be great. I agree with @gguenot that Ellie and Joel are what will make or break it. I'm keeping my expectations in check until I hear about casting.

All This!!! I cannot wait for this. My favorite game of all time and still have the play Last of Us 2. They better cast W. Earl Brown as Bill. So many voice over actors could actually play their in game characters. Just thinking about the making of this show gives me goosebumps.

I was hoping for Kaitlyn Dever, but maybe she's aged out of the role. I can see Bella being a good pick, but it's hard to imagine her with an American accent.

I absolutely had Kaitlyn Dever etched in my brain for that role, which is really the only reason I’m disappointed. Playing Ellie is going to be a tall task indeed...
