I think what they should do is completely focus the first episode just on her and her POV (much like the game). Then she dies, of course, which will be shocking to anyone watching who isn't familiar with the source material.
This would be great, and it'd pay off in the long run too since Joel's relationship with Sarah is so key to understanding him and Ellie

I was thinking they could've used the original girl who played Sarah, but then I remembered, she's probably in her 20s now lol

Worth noting it's a guest starring role. Wouldn't expect her in every episode.

I bet she'll do a bang up job. She's only got one shot to make a first impression as Sarah. I wonder if she will be in the hole first episode. What a blast this will be. Is she shooting her scene soon?

Hopefully they give her flashbacks to expand on her role and give her a better opportunity to showcase her talent... if not it's such a brief role (even though it's quite a memorable one that will give one HELL of a lasting impact for people that watch it)

Some of you really struggle with the idea that the show might not follow the game's story beat for beat uh?

she was awful in the dumbo live action movie but she's a kid so she is hopefully constantly improving

Not sure if everyone is trolling with the birthday stuff but I've been working since 1998 and if I've ever been "off" on my birthday it was because it was already a scheduled day off (IE weekend).

But I also don't tend to get super excited about it or anything anymore. People can't be surprised that most people don't take their birthday off right? Right?!?

The Last of Us' prologue: Why was Joel working?

In the beginning of The Last of Us, we find out that Joel has been working a contract job until midnight on his birthday. This is such a strange and specific detail, but I've never seen it brought up in the many discussions about the game. What kind of contract job was Joel working that required...

Same. Literally never got a day off on my birthday.

It's a reference to this thread

I had no idea that was a thread. Hahahaha. Gold.

Wow Pedro really lookin like Joel hereā€¦ its really happening.



Just saw this. I think we all know the scene they're rehearsing... I wonder if the filmmakers will homage cinematography of the game or intentionally not go back to look at it to create their own style. For example this sequence is mostly filmed from behind Sarah, with the camera panning around seamlessly at the mayhem. It's like the game has already done the best it could to create a 'cinematic' atmosphere, undermining the show lol.
