For a show as highly anticipated as The Last of Us, HBO's been very stingy about providing glimpses of all the progress.
The live-action adaptation of Sony's best-selling video game series has been in production since July last year but we have had only one official look so far - until now.
Speaking at the recently-concluded Summer Game Fest, Neil Druckmann, who was the creative director of the video games and who will serve as the show's co-creator as well as executive producer, shared everyone's first proper peek at Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey as Joel and Ellie, respectively. Unlike the first official The Last of Us TV show image, the second one is a lot more revealing.
Judging from what we know about the upcoming HBO Max series, it will mirror the first The Last of Us game, which initially came out for the PS3 back in 2013. In addition to the image reveal, Druckmann also explained the involvement of Troy Baker and Ashley Johnson in the live-action adaptation, confirming that the appearance of the voice actors of Joel and Ellie, respectively, are not limited to mere cameos.
