On September 2, the PS5 remaster of the first ‘The Last of Us’ will go on sale, a restyling of Joel and Ellie’s first adventure for the new generation and another excuse to replay the Naughty Dog title before the premiere of the adaptation in series format that will arrive soon on HBO Max. We do not yet know the date on which Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey will debut as the protagonists of this raw story marked by the collapse of civilization due to the Cordyceps fungus, but The ‘Game of Thrones’ actress recently talked about what we can expect, especially those of us who are already fans of the video game.
In an interview with She Knows, Ramsey expressed hope that those who already know the story will welcome the series with open arms: “I think people will love it. I know some are worried, of course. When something is so important to you as a viewer or as a player, obviously you will be concerned about the fit. People will love it. He follows the emotional shots of the video game a lot, is very respectful to him and pays homage to him”.
The actress who becomes Ellie adds that, as we know, they will take advantage of the format change to expand what is seen in the game: “But it will bring new life. It will explore several paths that haven’t been explored much in the game. I think they will love it. I hope you do. It was a lot of fun to do, a great experience. I hope you get that experience when you come on an adventure with us “.
More drama, less action
It is not the first time that major changes in the narrative of “The Last of Us” are mentioned in its translation from video game to series. Neil Druckmann, creator of the game, explained it the main goal is to repeat “the philosophical basis and not so much tracing scene by scene. For example, the balance will swing more towards drama and not so much towards action. Details have also emerged that would indicate that we will meet characters we have not seen in the video game.
‘The Last of Us’ is, however, in good hands. Druckmann himself is creator and screenwriter along with Craig Mazin, author of the acclaimed “Chernobyl”. Gustavo Santaolalla will take care of the soundtrack, as he did with the games. It doesn’t have a release date yet, but it’s slated for next year.
