Craig's changed his Twitter avatar to a picture of Ellie

holy shit its really happening

Feel like i'm dreaming right now.

Rosebud · Mar 5, 2020

I wish it was another story in the same world, not about Ellie/Joel.

But I hope it's great anyway.

-Le Monde- · Mar 5, 2020

Wow! Pretty eventful day. Great choice.

Dreams-Visions · Mar 5, 2020

HBO doesn't fuck around. Expect greatness.

Maybe he steps away in a less direct role I just can't see him directing games for much longer

He was writing an actual TLoU movie at one point before deciding it wasn't going to work. This was back when the idea of Maisie Williams playing Ellie was being kicked around. So, him working on a TV show doesn't mean he has to leave ND or step back away from major involvements.

Better cast Hugh Jackman if Joel is in this

Dude's basically already played the role

I don't understand the desire to turn gaming's best attempts at cinema into actual cinema/tv shows.
What's the point?

I guess some people still feel as though film/TV is a higher art form and adapting games into these things somehow warrants higher artistic merit?

I don't get it either, I've played games that are better than most movies I've seen and it's mostly BECAUSE they're games that they're that good. It'd be a cooler story if a game studio was approached by HBO to do a TV show and they were like "naw, our story is made for games and if people want to experience it, they should the way it was intended".

I realize that's a bit foolish to say.

xxracerxx · Mar 5, 2020

Make it just take place in the world and don't follow Ellie and Joel.

who knows what happened with them inbetween seasons. doesn't necessarily have to be an adaptation

And I'd say the game is stronger for it. Which makes me understand people who moan about Prometheus and Alien: Covenant for explaining too much of the Alien mythos - even though I like those movies.

Pirate Bae · Mar 5, 2020

Uhhhh so is this about Joel and Ellie or is it a side story?????

Remeran · Mar 5, 2020

would def watch this.

darfreeze · Mar 5, 2020

Oh YES!!

gnexus · Mar 5, 2020

Showtime's Halo vs HBO's The Last of Us. The console wars have shifted to TV, TV, TV.

IMACOMPUTA · Mar 5, 2020

Turning TLOU into a movie/show is like Heely coming out with roller skates.

Mirage · Mar 5, 2020

This could make a really interesting series and there's nothing too outlandish for an adaptation like this.

Drowner · Mar 5, 2020

This is super exciting Chernobyl and The Last of Us are so great

Count of Monte Sawed-Off · Mar 5, 2020

Sweet.

Knight613 · Mar 5, 2020

Hopefully this will be 4 seasons.

eebster · Mar 5, 2020

Craig Mazin, HBO, Neil Druckman involved. This is gonna be good

There's no way she can reprise as Ellie, but I'd love to see her be given a cameo or a new, limited role. Maybe even come back for the soundtrack.

Ellie's mom in flashbacks

Tiago Rodrigues · Mar 5, 2020

wait, omg. Go ahead and thank this man.

Cool?

Never played the games.

Trust me, it's cool.

Remeran · Mar 5, 2020

I would hope something in the universe that has nothing to do with them. It's not like Halo where you sort of need Chief to at least be around.

More Butter · Mar 5, 2020

Absolutely love Chernobyl the series. This is great news.

Ellie and Joel

LESGOOOOOOOOOO FUCKIN-A

Noctis · Mar 5, 2020

Sony baby, let's go.

AllThingsPurple · Mar 5, 2020

Hope it's good. Dever is a great actress though a little old for Ellie?

Thera · Mar 5, 2020

Why? The majority of the world doesn't play games/own a ps3/ps4.

You are right.

bliggup said:

The wording "Ellie and Joel journey", for me, means TLoU.

Gero · Mar 5, 2020

wow out of nowhere!

Electro · Mar 5, 2020

I'm not a series watcher but will for sure take a look at this.

FantasticMrFoxdie · Mar 5, 2020

Insanity. This is such a crazy dream team

Don't miss this opportunity HBO:

Bill is in right?

Is he an actor from deadwood? You're totally right, he looks like bill.

To introduce more people to it that aren't into gaming and I actually like this as I feel it can scratch that itch for fans of stuff like the walking dead, which has more or less gone downhill in the last few years.

If I were them, I'd go the game route.

It's tested and it worked. Plus you dont have to sacrifice huge amounts of the game to squeeze it into a 2 hour movie. You can let characters breathe.

yup people love the Joel and Ellie relationship

VaporSnake · Mar 5, 2020

Now there's a video game adaptation that makes sense and might actually get made and end up being high quality content. (Looking at you Uncharted)

Delphine · Mar 5, 2020

Oh my god this is gonna be fucking amazing!!!

kaputt · Mar 5, 2020

Hyped as fuck right now. Chernobyl was amazing.

Now hire Hugh Jackmann to play Joel, John Hawkes to play David.

Yup. They are both the same actor

What about that movie they announced

I assume that it's dead and this is replacing it.

Joel and Ellie. It's the first game.

jett · Mar 5, 2020

Druckmang has been shopping his TLOU screenplay around Hollywood years, I guess he finally gave up on that.

Mazin's involvement sounds great though.

Ummmmm. Excuse me.... WHAT?

YES I NEED IT

Antiax · Mar 5, 2020

I wish HBO not Netflix picked up The Witcher.
The Last of US show will be almost certainly great.

Edit: OK... guy behind Chernobyl will be producing it, it will be amazing.

I'm pretty sure this has been in the works before November 2019. They were just playing us
