late , Pascal sat down withGQto verbalise about his new filmThe Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent , in whichNicolas coop plays himself . In addition to the meta - comedy , the actor discussedThe Last of Us , divulge whether or not it stay faithful to the original tale of the game . He compares the HBO series ' approach path to the textile toThe Mandalorian , aver that it ’s " made for people who love it , " and that it ’s " honoring what ’s important " while adding fresh textile that will deepen the plot line while also doing all the employment of worldbuilding for newcomers who have n’t played the game . Read the full quote below :
There ’s a very , very originative way of honoring what ’s important and also preserving what is iconic to the experience of the video game , and also [ to admit ] things that you would n’t necessarily expect . And then directions that you would expect it to go , and it might not … they ’re doing some really smart things , is all I can say . It ’s exchangeable to the way Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni treat The Mandalorian , in how [ Mazin and Druckmann ] are treat The Last of Us — it ’s in effective hands because they love it so much . Well , intelligibly Neil created the picture game , but Craig loves it so much . So it really is made for the hoi polloi that love it . And there ’s some very acute storytelling for citizenry who might be less familiar .
The Last of Usmay be altering the story more or less in the appendage of adapting the plot to a completely new data formatting , but it will sure enough encounter fewer challenge than similar series likeParamount+ ’s live - activeness version ofHalo . TheHalogame series has a fate of lore and worldbuilding , but it ’s primarily a first - person shooter that does n’t provide the amount of story required for a long - run narrative format . The Last of Usdoesn’t have that problem , as its innovational storyline is inherently cinematic .
It ’s potential that the big digressionsThe Last of Usmakes from the source game will come from the necessities of the television data format rather than the need to amend or expand on the material . For representative , the series will likely extend on the stories of side characters boast in the secret plan , so there can be multiple narratives ply in tandem , which is much more necessary on video than in a plot . There also may be some slight alteration to locations and characters to make them more believable in live - action , but ultimately if they amaze with the roadmap the game bring home the bacon , they ’re more or less guaranteed to have a success story on their hand .
