HBO shares new character posters of star-studded 'The Last of Us' cast
The wait for HBO's highly anticipated 'The Last of Us' series is almost over. On September 26, HBO Max released the terrifying trailer for the new doomsday adventure, and on November 2, the streamer finally announced the show's premiere date, followed by new character posters on November 30. /p>
“The Last of Us,” based on the award-winning hit video game series of the same name, stars Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey, both “Game of Thrones” alumni (although their characters, Oberyn Martell and Lyanna Mormont, never interacted). Pascal's Joel is tasked with smuggling Ramsey's Ellie through a post-apocalyptic, zombie-infected United States. In the trailer, they face many dangers, not just zombies, like infected humans.
In an interview with GQ in April, Pascal revealed that while he loves the show, he isn't very good at playing video games. "It's so sad, I don't have any skills," the actor said. "I tried, you know. And then it was only a matter of minutes before I had to hand it to my nephew. It really takes a specific type of skill, and I don't have it."< /p>
While Pascal admires the game, he knew he didn't want to imitate it perfectly either. "I found Joel so impressive - I found the whole of such an experience visually impressive," he said. "And then I got worried about wanting to imitate too much, which I think might be right in some circumstances, and then wrong in others. So I just wanted to create a healthy distance, and for it to be more in the hands of [co-series writer] Craig Mazin and [game writer and co-series writer] Neil Druckmann."
“The Last of Us” was filmed in Calgary, Alberta in 2021, and HBO plans to release it in early 2023. Keep reading for everything we know about “The Last of Us,” including including trailer and cast.
