The fun fact was revealed by Craig Mazin, one of the co-creators of the show.
The Last of Us almost looked extremely different, as it has been revealed that Matthew McConaughey was in talks to star as Joel at some point of the development process. The post-apocalyptic video game adaptation would've certainly had a different tone and, if that had been the case, a new Ellie might've been cast as well depending on the screen tests held with McConaughey.
The role of Joel would eventually fall into the hands of Pedro Pascal, who starred in one of the biggest shows that have come to television this year. As a cynical protagonist, Joel didn't really care about surviving the apocalypse, given how he had already lost his daughter during the first day of the outbreak. A dangerous virus had been transmitted through flour all over the world, and with dangerous walkers roaming the streets, it was only a matter of time before civilization collapsed.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT While Joel might have been living on autopilot for years, that would change when he was tasked with transporting Ellie across the country. Since her mother had passed away on the day she was born, the girl had always lived near military bases and people trying to get a hold of her blood. In a way, Joel and Ellie needed each other to find new inspiration in a world where hope was mostly gone.
