How The Last Of Us On HBO Will Differ From The Original Game

[ad_1]

Two more actors have also signed on to play characters who “The Last of Us” fans may not recognize. “Y: The Last Man” actor Natasha Mumba has added a credit for the show to her Instagram account, along with the unfamiliar character name Kim Tembo. Meanwhile, Brad Leland, best known for his role on “Friday Night Lights,” revealed on The A List Productions podcast that he filmed scenes for the series. While Games Radar reports that the actor could be playing a character named Mr. Adler based on IMDb credits, HBO hasn’t supplied official information about the role.

Overall, it sounds like HBO’s take on “The Last Of Us” plans to be additive rather than reductive, so while fans may get moments they didn’t expect, it sounds like the ones they love will likely also be there. Series co-creator, executive producer, and writer Craig Mazin confirms as much to BBC Radio, explaining that “the changes that we’re making are designed to fill things out and expand: not to undo, but rather to enhance.” All these additions will take up some screen time, which means the biggest change to “The Last of Us” as it shifts from game to show may be its length. Though future installments of the show haven’t been officially announced, all involved refer to the upcoming batch of episodes as its first season, meaning the big-budget series is likely built to last.

“The Last Of Us” will debut on HBO, with a release date still to come.
