Bosco685 Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 (edited) Quote EXCLUSIVE: In one of the biggest TV castings of the year, The Mandalorian star Pedro Pascal is set to headline The Last Of Us, HBO’s high-profile series adaptation of the Sony Playstation franchise from Chernobyl creator Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann. Based on the critically acclaimed video game The Last of Us, developed by Naughty Dog exclusively for the PlayStation platforms, the story takes place twenty years after modern civilization has been destroyed. Joel (Pascal), a hardened survivor, is hired to smuggle Ellie (Game of Thrones‘ Bella Ramsey), a 14-year-old girl, out of an oppressive quarantine zone. What starts as a small job soon becomes a brutal, heartbreaking journey, as they both must traverse across the U.S. and depend on each other for survival. Pascal’s Joel, tormented by past trauma and failure, must trek across a pandemic-ravaged America, all the while protecting a girl who represents the last hope of humanity. This marks a homecoming for Pascal who became a household name with his role as Oberyn Martell on HBO’s mega hit Game Of Thrones. Pascal currently stars in Disney+’s hugely popular and acclaimed series The Mandalorian, which recently received a Golden Globe nomination for Best Drama Series. He will continue on the Star Wars series, where he is used sparingly because of the nature of his character, though The Last Of Us has him in first position. The actor recently became available for a new series, attracting multiple big offers from top premium networks and streamers, opting to do The Last Of Us. Pascal is coming off starring as the villain, Max Lord, in Wonder Woman 1984. The Narcos and Kingsman: The Golden Circle star is currently in production on Judd Apatow’s The Bubble for Netflix. He is repped by WME, Anonymous Content and Jackoway Austen Tyerman. Kantemir Balagov is directing the pilot episode of The Last Of Us, a co-production with with Sony Pictures Television. PlayStation Productions, Word Games, The Mighty Mint, and Naughty Dog. Druckmann and Mazin write and executive produce; Carolyn Strauss (Game of Thrones, Chernobyl) also executive produces along with Naughty Dog president Evan Wells alongside Asad Qizilbash and Carter Swan of PlayStation Productions Quote Ramsey is best known for her role as Lyanna Mormont in fellow HBO series “Game of Thrones.” The character Ellie is a 14-year old orphan who has never known anything but a ravaged planet. In the show, she struggles to balance her instinct for anger and defiance with her need for connection and belonging as well as the newfound reality that she may be the key to saving the world. “The Last of Us” series was first announced as being in development at the premium cabler back in March, with the show landing a formal series order in November. Based on the video game of the same name, the series takes place twenty years after modern civilization has been destroyed. Joel, a hardened survivor, is hired to smuggle Ellie out of an oppressive quarantine zone. What starts as a small job soon becomes a brutal, heartbreaking journey, as they both must traverse across the U.S. and depend on each other for survival.

I wonder if the shooting on Rice Howard Way means that Craft Beerhouse is closed to the public. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be worse, could be on Whyte Ave Though, that's probably too post apocalyptic for them kimik 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MetalPSI Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 I had expected to replay Last of Us quite a bit to get all the achievements, but I just couldn't get into after the first playthrough Haven't even bothered with the sequel yet. I think I've got it free from PS Plus. Get around to it eventually I suppose Ken Aldred and Bosco685 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimik Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 (edited) Diego Luna visited Saddle City Comics in Calgary one day while filming there last year. The owners said he was great to talk with and he graciously agreed to do a signing for their customers a couple of weeks later.

Basically The Walking Dead with fungus zombies. Sure the famous set piece with the giraffes will appear. Not sure how the pacing would translate to live action. Likewise, I never bothered playing the sequel. MetalPSI 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get me wrong, he's not terrible (except WW84, where he sucked like a White House intern) but overwhelming mediocre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
