HBO shares first footage of its 'The Last Of Us' TV series

hbo tlou.JPG

A live-action TV series adaptation of the video game The Last of Us was announced by HBO in 2020 and last year, the main cast was announced. However, we haven't had a proper look at the series until now. HBO Max aired a new video with snippets of shows upcoming to its streaming service and it features the very first public footage of The Last of Us TV series (starting at 1:40).



While it's a short teaser, it gives an idea about how the main cast look like in character. The video also mentions that the series will air sometime next year. Craig Mazin is responsible for the script and executive production along with Neil Druckmann for The Last of Us TV series.

Ugh no. We know what happens to joel. Also ellie is one of the worst characters ever in gaming. Also that hideous creature, whats its name, the one that killed joel. Gosh i can't even remember that wretched nasty looking beasts name. Zombies have nothing on her/it.
Imagine being so lacking in imagination or media literacy that you project your weird bigoted worldview onto fictional characters and still aren't over it 2 years later.
I can't judge much from this clip, but I'm gonna give her a chance, she's proved herself as a great actor in previous shows.
Yeah, I've heard from other people that she's great on Game of Thrones (which I've not watched). I believe people when they say she's a great actress; just a bit worried that maybe this particular role is miscast. But I guess we'll see.

Haven't played enough modern Tomb Raider to comment. I really loved the Uncharted games, but the story doesn't get close to how compelling I found the TLOU story.
I just think TR & Uncharted both have a better premise that would translate very well to a TV show format. The Indiana Jones-y type of adventures, search for treasures etc. There's a goldmine of material..
Going with an original story (for either) would also work..
Ever since BCS ended there's been nothing quite as good or worthwhile watching, but this will fill the gap.
Lol! It has only been a week..

Imagine feeling that threatened by the portrayal of a muscular woman with broad shoulders. If you ever entered a gym, you'd be scared shitless. I bet you watch lesbian porn too, but whine about political agendas when it's not for you to jack off to.
That thing got boinked in the butt. Unless the guy wanted it to turn away just so he could get off.

Also have YOU ever seen actual muscular women? Ones not missing chromosomes?

When I saw that scene, I jacked off. Not because the scene was hot, but because the realization that it was making babies like you mad really turned me on.

I have no specific complaints, but video game adaptations are always* dog shit and this will be no exception.

*The only exception for me is the original Super Mario Bros movie, which I absolutely love. So feel free to disregard this post altogether as I'm sure that disqualifies me from having an opinion here.

I disagree with your first statement, but the SMB movie is fucking rad, so you pass.

You might wanna hide the spoiler stuff for others who didn't get to play/ or finish the game..
Does it count when the controversy/backlash is pretty well-known and widespread, though?

And yeah, don't care for TLoU (and especially not 2, fuck that pointless shit; first game never needed a sequel), but after HBO removed 30 or so shows from its streaming service, stopped the production of DVDs, deleted their own YouTube videos of said shows, and stuff...yeah, screw off, HBO, go die in a hole.

Can't expect any more consideration from a hilarious misogynistic manchild who throws a baby tantrum because a single secondary character in a video game isn't designed for him to wank to.
Yeah deal with it,I'm sure you think the world is full of devious people like you because you surf temp and other androgynistic websites,let me reassure you,it's not .

Trust me, I'm well aware that the world is full of misogynistic manbabies.
The world is full of meanies, but we have to learn and live with it and get around it.

There's always news of innocent people getting shot and stabbed to death around the world, though that can't stop people from live their lives. Living in fear is just another means of giving up on the one thing humans were privileged to.

Impressive, how much a couple of selfies in the selfie thread and a couple of rainbow patterns in profile pages can bother some people.

O...k....

I'm not afraid of living in a world of misogynistic manchildren, it's definitely not a good thing but at least I get opportunities to laugh at them when they come rolling around and smearing their own shit all over themselves unnecessarily in a temp thread.
