With The Last of Us, HBO shut down everyone who insists on the “video game curse” discourse, despite many great movies and series derived from games already being released. The series is an absolute success by any metrics, with rave reviews and viewership records. The Last of Us is such a great adaptation that it’s hard to imagine the series starring anyone else but Pedro Pascal as Joel and Bella Ramsey as Ellie. However, as Jeffrey Pierce (who voices Tommy in The Last of Us game) recently revealed during an interview with The Direct, before being developed as a live-action series,
The Last of Us almost became a mo-cap and CGI animated series
. And while we can only imagine what an animated The Last of Us series would look like, this reveal actually makes us appreciate even more the work done by series’ creators Neil Druckmann and Craig Mazin.
So basically just the game?
