I don't expect a tv/movie show to cast its actors from the games but this is fucking stupid. He would've been perfectly fine as Tommy.

I’d be interested if its adapting the first game and druckmann was not involved but he is and they will likely use some of tlou2 and do a second season for part 2. I love the first game but part 2 ruined it. Not just the game but I refuse to touch anything associated with naughty dog now.

This and there’s the halo series? Who wants to see these things

It could be because it's being adapted into an entirely different medium.

Druckman ND era sucks. He got lucky with well rounded structure for the TLOU 1 script and that is it.
U4 n TLOU2 shown him to be a horrible writer.
And even though they really improved combat gameplay in the second TLOU(if you play it on hard and XRay turned off), it takes just bout 2.5 to 3 hours out a 30 hour game. How anyone liked it even a bit outside those 2.5 hours is beyond me.

Good grief that's abysmal casting... What next? Tom Cruise as Master Chief, Jim Carey as Solid Snake?.

What are rambling about. We get it you dont like Cuckman. S
Alot of people did like the story.
I didnt love it but it was unlike any other game Ive played to this day. Just get over it
I laid out a problem I have with it being that the gameplay that is actually much improved is just a fraction of this 30 hour experience and your answer is "don't do it cos I like it" is rather strange.

As we saw before with Quantum Break and that MMO game before it, videogames pretty much never work as a TV show. I fully expect this to be terrible in comparison to the game.

I am. The Witcher turned out decently.

Oh yeah! He was the only standout actor to me in that movie. Way better than the female leads and elderly Arnold + Linda Hamilton.
I'm willing to give the the show a chance, even though I didn't really like Chernobyl past the first episode (overdramatizated to all hell) or anything Druckmann has done since U4.
Who wants to see a big blue guy in a thong or a guy in a weird aluminum mask? Tons of people. This show will do well (if the quality is there).

Don’t be a cunt, chief. Pedro Pascal is playing Joel. They’re going to cast another Latino to play his brother, aren’t they?
Really? Butchering lore and characters is now decent?
I would cut em some slack If early books were hard to adapt but they kinda already structured like a TV show but have much more depth n layers to it's characters n the world.
Plus they throw away almost all of the interesting stuff n spend two books of great tv show material like it was nothing.
They changed whole concept and deleted all the meaning behind how magic works in this universe and made Yen completely different(much worse) character for no reason at all.

Truth is, Pascal's a fine actor with exactly the sort of range you'd want to portray Joel. But he's younger (and younger looking) than Pierce, so getting a different actor to play his younger brother is a sensible choice based on more than ethnicity.
I feel almost the same, but I need that MP game.

I guess it's good for people like me who never played the Witcher (waiting for the PS5 upgrade). I enjoyed the show adaptation.

Nah, it's fine. You just make sure the rest of the cast is shorter.

The Last of Us HBO has a million-dollar budget per episode, will generate hundreds of jobs, and is Canada's biggest film project https://thelastofus.com.br/noticias...q-5BzFIGs2Yp24X1xY7gZGu5mNM3EM1vzhanpkUsm21no

Lots of people. I'm going at least watch the first episode of a LOU series where some of the people involved have the amazing Chernobyl on their list of credits. I'm less clear about what's going on with Halo other than I was disappointed when Blomkamp's project for it got cancelled. I'm not up to date on new developments.

But why? The Last of us is already such a narrative driven game series. Like also why make an uncharted movie, when the game is already a rip off of Indiana Jones? I just don’t get why people want to see it

Because people want to see an on screen adaptation of the source material. There's also a ton of people who may enjoy the on screen product and have absolutely no intention of ever playing the games. What you're asking is the same as why would I want to watch any novel or comic adaptation. I have never (nor intend to) read a Deadpool comic, but I want to see the next movie in the series.

Yes, obviously Naughty Dog are now doing casting for HBOTommy not playing Tommy, but playing Perry.
Oh ND, you so subversive!!!
What shenanigans will u think of next to delight & surprise us?

Of course he would have been perfect as Tommy if they went with another actor as Joel. At least in theory. However, it would not make sense considering their decision to cast Pedro Pascal as Joel. Sure, they could have find an explanation why they look so different. For example: They are not real brothers, they have different mothers/fathers etc.. But that would all be a bit "too much" I guess.
Also keep in mind that there are a lot of other factors that may have influenced their decision. There has to be a certain "atmosphere" between actors. Maybe it did not work out between these actors.
But I also have something to complain about: Who the hell made the decision not to cast W. Earl Brown as Bill?
Come on. Bill is more like a comic relief character that won't appear in more than one episode. They could have cast the real Bill without any problems.

Maybe cause he’s not a good actor, therefore voice acting. Giving original actors side roles. Maybe he wants someone chunky.
