25 seconds of footage. Although we carry from March 2020 waiting for this moment, the first official preview of The Last of Us, the HBO Max series, it does not even reach half a minute. However, every shot chosen and every line of dialogue that appears in it is exactly what we wanted to see: Warner has set out to bring the game to the small screen, and what is shown is convincing.
As promised, the series of The Last of Us will adapt the events of the first video game to the television format. Neil Druckman, one of the heads of both the series and the video game, has declared that some of his favorite episodes deviate a lot from the original story of the game. However, those 25 seconds shown continue to the letter and in a skipped way the video game. something that already was advanced by the actors themselves.
And, for example, here is a comparison in which the GamexPlain channel organizes and puts The Last of Us television series face to face with the PS4 remaster. Sharing the dialogue lines of Joel and Ellie, the protagonists of both productions.
The differences? Ellie learns how to shoot with a pistol instead of a rifle and of course the look of the protagonists. Especially in the case of a Bella Ramsey (Lyanna Mormont in Game of Thrones) will embody Ellie and the young Nico Parker, who will play Sarah Miller, the daughter of a Joel who will give life none other than Peter Pascal. But, to be honest, what made The Last of Us a masterpiece is already beginning to show.
HBO Max takes advantage of the moment by showing off content
That this first advance has been shown is no coincidence: quite the opposite. Its broadcast coincided with the premiere of The House of the Dragonthe long-promised spin-off of Game of Thronesand on the eve of the launch of the Remake of The Last of Us Part Ithe definitive re-release for PS5 of one of the best games ever released by PlayStation Studios.
In any case, both Sony, HBO and Naughty Dog itself are offering dropper advances ahead of its premiere. The first official image of the protagonists was offered almost a year ago (at the end of September 2021), although we could not see the faces of Joel and Ellie characterized until June of this year. And that the filming of the first episode concluded around this time last year.
From here the big question: when will we see a trailer again and when will the series premiere. For the first we have no answer, although with Gamescom looming we do not rule out seeing a more generous trailer for The Last of Us series imminently. Regarding his arrival at HBO Max, Casey Bloys, director of content at HBO, assured in an interview on hollywoodreporter that the series, that will have ten episodesit will be ready to be issued in early 2023.
Coinciding with the promised arrival of The Last of Us Part I to PCs? Don’t dismiss it.
