The Last of Us series is arriving on HBO Max in a few days, and the first installment should mark the ghosts in more ways than one, as it’s going to be quite a movie.
The series is eagerly awaited by fans and the curious The last of us will arrive on HBO Max on January 15 and should follow us, although we still don’t know exactly where or when it will be broadcast in France. In any case, the first episode of the series should be of particular importance, both because fans of the game will know how Joel’s horrific journey begins and because it will obviously have a lot to show us.
The “Last of Us” series starts with an XXL episode
The duration of this pilot episode has indeed been announced and it is confirmed that it will last almost 1h30, about 85 minutes to be exact. In short, it’s a movie, although current feature films these days tend to run well over an hour and a half, or even twice as long as the interplanetary cartoon avatar 2 and his three great hours of film.
At least the series The last of us will take off and immediately immerse us in his universe. The show is said to be very faithful to the original game while allowing itself to bring even more consistency to the characters that players already know. In addition, huge secrets of the game could be revealed there and new surprises, such as new creatures, are also expected.
What is certain is that HBO and Neil Druckmann are putting a lot on this adaptation. The creator of the license even recently admitted that he hoped this series could break the curse that hangs over the film adaptations of our favorite video games. As a reminder, it’s thanks to Druckmann that we averted the worst, as Sony originally wanted a full film and it nearly became a mindless box office hit.
