A new stolen video from the set of The Last of Us shows us Ellie (Bella Ramsey) in action. The opportunity to discover a scene very faithful to the game
Filming for The Last of Us is progressing well. Over the past few weeks, several new images have given us a glimpse of what HBO intends to do with the adaptation of Naughty Dog’s now iconic game.
A video of Ellie on the set of The Last of Us series
Ellie finally acts. Filming for HBO’s The Last of Us series has been in full swing for a few months. Several locations in the city of Calgary, Canada have been decked out in post-apocalyptic sauce to welcome the ambitious customization teams. A few local residents shared stolen videos with us showing Pedro Pascal as Joel and Bella Ramsey as Ellie. More recently, the characters of Sam and Henry have come to light.
While multiple images show Joel in action, it’s time for Ellie and her actress to get to work. A local was able to film a scene where we see her sneaking into a breach to open a door. A scene later compared to other sequences in the game where Ellie clears the way for Joel in the same fashion. The video is very short but remains consistent with those seen so far: promising.
A faithful and ambitious adaptation
Neil Druckmann and the teams responsible for the series had already announced the color. The Last of Us HBO will stay true to the original material but will take some detours to improve its universe. The story will remain the same as in the Uncharted film, but some changes are expected. Like Sam who will be deaf, but that shouldn’t fundamentally change the character or his stakes.
However, we’ll have to wait for The Last of Us series to air in 2023 to judge its quality. HBO has definitely given itself the means to keep gamers happy as the adaptation would have a higher budget than Game of Thrones. We’re talking about a total budget of $100 million or more. With such a sum at stake, it is better not to rush. In any case, this should pave the way for the famous remake of The Last of Us that would be secretly in development on PS5.
