\nWhen HBO decided to adapt Sony and Naughty Dog's videogame franchise The Last of Us as a TV series, there were obvious creative challenges on how it would translate on the small screen. Would it be more action-oriented like the games, or would it expand more on the universe providing more character exposition? At the show's premiere, creators Craig Mazin & Neil Druckmann and star Pedro Pascal spoke to Variety about what the series allows them to do for fans of the games.
\nImage: HBO\n'You get really lucky when the scripts are amazing. Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann, the creator of the video game, composed these solid and amazing scripts, which does 90% of the work or more — 98% of the work, and the other 2% is for you to try not to fuck up something that is so good,' Pascal said. Both actors caught their big break on the HBO fantasy series Game of Thrones before Pascal scored another huge hit in the Disney+ series The Mandalorian.
