HBO’s “The Last Of Us” Footage Shows Joel and Ellie in Action
HBO’s live-action adaptation The Last Of Us is in production.
Calgary is the Canadian city that will be filming the show. It’s a post-apocalyptic future world where bloodthirsty monsters and human beings have abandoned all humanity. This means that we are starting to see some of the show’s stars in action.
At the time this article was written, one official tease has been released. It showed Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey as Joel and Ellie. As they gaze towards the horizon, the duo stands with their backs toward the camera. It was very exciting, but not very informative.
Leaked set videos to give us a better idea of what to expect from the series. One piece of recent footage gives us our best glimpse yet at Joel, Ellie, and two other familiar characters.
You can see that Joel and Ellie are joined in the video by Sam and Henry. After teaming up with Joel in 2013, the brothers played an important and tragic role in the game. We expect a similar fate in the HBO series.
Although we don’t know the exact release date of The last of Us, we do know that it won’t air this year. According to Casey Bloys, HBO Max’s Chief Content Officer, the series won’t air before or2023.
It won’t air in 2022, but they are still filming in Canada. He said that he believes you’ll see it in ’23. “I’ve seen some episodes so far and I’m excited. […] Craig Mazin did Chernobyl, he’s a great writer and director. It looks incredible from what I have seen, so I am excited about it. But it won’t be in ’22.
The events of the original 2013 game will be followed by the first series of The Last Of Us. However, Naughty Dog (and HBO) have teased that there may be some minor deviations from the source material to keep viewers on their toes.
