>Craig Mazin, the creator of the acclaimed limited series Chernobyl, is reteaming with HBO adapt The Last of Us, the massive Sony PlayStation video game franchise.
>In a rare development in the world of video game adaptations, the writer and creative director of the game, Neil Druckmann, is also involved, and will work with Mazin to pen and executive produce what is intended to be a series.
>Carolyn Strauss will also executive produce along with Evan Wells, the president of Naughty Dog, the Santa Monica-based developer of the game. The project is a co-production with Sony Pictures Television and in association with PlayStation Productions and it will be the first television series from PlayStation Productions.
Between Naughty Dog and HBO it's going to be some boring shit that focuses on the struggles of diversity in face of white males in charge of the apocalypse. Naughty Dog has the whole "why not make Nathan's son a chick" and that Nadine bullshit. HBO has shit like The Outsider recasting Holly as a nigger and when the showrunner was asked about it he just said "HBO wanted her".

Ive only played uncharted 4 so I'm no expert, but Nathan having a daughter makes more sense than a son
I like his daughter but they picked a son, wrote a son. And then one of the female devs goes "why not make him a girl?" and they just went "huh, ok" and changed it. Altering a vision and story because "huh why not?" is disagreeable to me. I DO want her to grow up and have her carry on the family business and tradition though. I want that game. Picturing Drake as an old man being her Sully and everything.

>Craig Mazin, the creator of the acclaimed limited series Chernobyl
Mazin was born in Brooklyn, New York, to a Jewish family.[1][2]
>the writer and creative director of the game, Neil Druckmann, is also involved
Druckmann is Jewish, although found he regularly writes about "white, straight, Christian male" characters, encouraging him to instead create more diverse characters.[56]
Carolyn Strauss (born July 13, 1963) is an American television executive and producer....Being of Jewish descent, in August 2015 she signed - as one of 98 members of the Los Angeles' Jewish community - an open letter supporting the proposed nuclear agreement between Iran and six world powers led by the United States "as being in the best interest of the United States and Israel."[7]
joel can be easily replaceable but ellie's nasal voice is unique, it just wont be the same without ashley johnson
Logan Cook
The only way a show would work is by focusing on some of the side characters like Joel's fat fag friend, Joel's brother or Marlene. Remaking the whole Joel & Ellie's journey would be useless since it's already perfect the way it is
>The only way a show would work is by focusing on some of the side characters like Joel's fat fag friend, Joel's brother or Marlene. So the Walking Dead with Clickers
Lincoln Smith
Literally just Kaitlyn Dever
Noah Cox
I like yuri and I like amateur lesbian pornos but something about the physics rendering of their skin and their greasy faces is revolting
Mazin is a huge lib faggot and this will end up being like Walking Dead. What a waste.
Ryan Fisher
Film is a more serious medium. Video games are pure entertainment.
Andrew Foster
But jerking your tiny dick over moving pictures and how artsy they are is entertaining for you, therefore film is also purely for entertainment.
Michael Allen
It's a different kind of entertainment.
Noah Williams
>Druckmann
Ian King
Video games are better than movies these days
Blake Williams
They're adapting a movie into a tv show, wow that's never been done before.
Hunter Hall
They stole Ellen Pages image and then also made her a lesbian. Lmao
Zachary Davis
So exactly like the source material
Blake Diaz
>vidyashit yuck
Eli Young
Nah, tv shows are better than movies and videogame stories are just tropey movie trash with some interactive elements
Parker Campbell
>tv shows are better than movies If you hate visuals, decent characterizations, morals, pacing or maintaining your brain the only thing the television is useful for is educating children
Zachary Williams
Faggot.
Gavin Hernandez
> Mazin is a huge lib faggot Nah, he is pro nuclear and made a entire show demonizing communism. Both points are completely incompatible with the modern Democratic party.
John Stewart
I'm from Yas Forums, who is this Mazin guy, what does his past work look like
There is nothing to ruin. The story is already bad.
Lucas Jones
Can't wait to see it get panned.
Benjamin Thomas
the two carpet munchers from "blue is the warmest color" or similary hot women i mean if they gonna put lesbians scenes at least they have to be hot women
Jose White
Hard for it to be worse than it is in video game form.
Evan Sanchez
I hope Ellie is black, Joel is gay etc
Jaxon Perry
Holy fuck.
James Collins
he is into coke again?
Kevin Robinson
That quote was in defense of making the game easier. He said the combat should be uncomfortable and engaging.
Nicholas Johnson
Would be as close to the video game as Chernobyl was close to the actual events.
Michael Hill
as long as they cast a hot blonde preteen as sarah, everything will be okay
