The start of the HBO series The Last of Us with Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey is eagerly awaited. Now there was a surprising confession from the co-star of the series.
As an actor, how do you prepare for the adaptation of a video game? Do you gamble it yourself until you know every corner? Apparently not, because as Ellie actress Bella Ramsey admitted to USA Today, she never played The Last of Us herself.
After her first audition, she was asked if she played the game herself. When she said no, she received the answer “Leave it at that”. You just watched some gameplay on YouTube to get a feel for the game.
Joel actor Pedro Pascal has also kept his distance from the origin of the series. He only looked over his nephew’s shoulder while gambling on one day, as he told GQ in April. He wanted to prevent himself from interpreting his role too closely to the game and imitating the video game Joel too much.
Is this good or bad? We will experience that when the series finally starts. However, there is no date for this yet, only a first trailer was recently released.
Finally there are some first scenes of the series adaptation of The Last of Us.
