The creators of TheLastOfUsHBO had every right to fear a TV show. Here’s how the cast of the game felt about it after reading the script:
The thing that I think Pedro brings to this is a whole other level of brokenness.To me, it’s understanding what Joel has found for work. Because in the very beginning, we see a dad who’s struggling for work. Then, 20 years later, we see that he’s still struggling for work.But Pedro does this thing where … it’s like this PTSD. He picks up the boy, and he tosses him into the fire.
There’s a real obsession with Joel, I think. Why do you think this is? What is so special about him as a character?I have a very strong opinion on this one. We have seen the archetype of Joel in many games before. So there is nothing remarkable about Joel. But this story is a story about Joel and Ellie. This entire game was founded upon that relationship. If we had just had Joel in a game, it would have done well, because it’s a Naughty Dog game.
There’s been a long history of video game adaptations perhaps not living up to people’s expectations. Neil called it “the video game curse.” I wonder, is that something you think about when you’re going into a production like this?I think those are some of the reasons why the game was so successful, because it reached into people’s souls, in their spirits, and grabbed them fully.
