‘The Last of Us’: the farewell letter that Pedro Pascal wrote to Bella Ramsey at the end of the shoot

Bella Ramsey was not received with affection by all the fans of ‘The Last of Us’, hence the warmth she felt during the filming of this adaptation of the famous video game, even more outside at the end of that production. Some fans of the game have reacted negatively on social media by criticizing her physique, not happy that she no longer ‘looks like’ the digital Ellie.

Thankfully, all that tangle of virtual hatred is a far cry from the relationship that the protagonists seem to have formed during the development of this HBO series that we will see in 2023. As Ramsey herself shares, his dynamic with Pedro Pascal, who plays Joel, was the sweetest to the point that this actor sent him a note at the end of the shoot. “I am very excited about his premiere”Ramsey comments in statements to USA Today. “It was a very important part of my life because we shot for a whole year, which is quite a long time where you only lived 19 years. Pedro wrote me a note at the end, saying: “How interesting it is that something so big that changes your life happens so early in your life and so late in mine””. I thought it was a very sweet remark, and besides, I had a great time.”.

‘The Last of Us’, which completes the cast with Gabriel Luna as Tommy, Anna Torv as Tess, Merle Dandridge as Marlene, Nick Offerman as Bill, Murray Bartlett as Frank, Storm Reid as Riley and Lamar Johnson as Henry; kicks off several years after Outbreak Day. Joel (Pascal) works as a mercenary and smuggler in a Boston that try to resist the threat of clickers and all kinds of humans deformed by the parasitic fungus that has besieged humanity. Everything changes when the task of guarding a girl named Ellie (Ramsey) falls on her shoulders on the outskirts of the city, where she will be taken by the Fireflies, a resistance group that continues to seek a cure for the epidemic.

highly anticipated

‘The Last of Us’ is one of the most anticipated series of next year, a project led by Neil Druckmann, creator of the game and coshowrunner; and Craig Mazin (“Chernobyl”) co-showrunner and co-writer of a proposal that frames Joel and Ellie’s relationship in the middle of the post-apocalyptic world resulting from the epidemic caused by a deadly fungus that turns those it infects into horrifying monsters. A first trailer was released on September 26 that promises darkness, tension, and a fierce struggle for survival, so expectations are sky-high.
