The Last of Us

The Last Of Us will be HBO's "next big thing" after House of the Dragon as its first trailer racks up 12.5 million views in less than 24 hours.

[reportedly in the region of $10 million per episode](https://www.thegamer.com/hbos-the-last-of-us-has-a-million-dollar-budget-per-episode/), but it has also cast a number of top-rate actors. [Game of Thrones](https://www.thegamer.com/tag/game-of-thrones/) prequel was always going to be risky considering the backlash to GoT's final season, it's probably fair to say at this point that it has been an unmitigated hit. Almost every backdrop shown will be instantly recognizable to those who have played the game, and some shots are clearly exact replicas of ones used in the games. That news came just an hour after the trailer was revealed, at which point it had already been watched 2.5 million times. While the Less than 24 hours after the trailer dropped, it has already been watched 12.5 million times.

The official release from this time stated that Sam and Henry are "hiding from a revolutionary movement seeking vengeance", so this sounds like it could be Kathleen's squad. Gabriel Luna has taken on the role of Joel's brother Tommy in the show. This is a truly gut-wrenching moment in the game, and one I am sure will reduce me to tears once more on the show's release next year. Along with Joel and Ellie, we also got to have a closer look at Anna Torv's portrayal of Tess. Still, it captures the essence of Joel and Ellie's relationship here perfectly.

The only real question now is how the series will be broken down between the first and second games, whether it’s one season for each, or if this will be extended into a longer term project for HBO. It is just…genuinely hard to see how you would combine all these elements together and not get a worthwhile production, and the initial trailers seem to have gotten fans sufficiently hyped. I also believe I’ll like Bella Ramsey as Ellie, it’s just that I’ve seen her in far fewer things so far (those few, standout Game of Thrones scenes), so it’s a little bit harder to say with her this early. For years, decades even, there were countless video games adapted into movies that seemed to entirely miss the mark, from The Rock’s DOOM to the extremely flat Prince of Persia and Assassin’s Creed. It’s HBO – This may be the fundamental factor here. I’m not so sure we can still say that the “video game movie” curse is really a thing anymore.

From Joel beating a man on the ground to Ellie running and shooting a gun, there is so much to see in just a few shots. To keep her alive, and you set everything right.” Paired with that voice-over, there are a lot of different teases, but we also have our first glimpses of Gabriel Luna as Tommy Miller, Offerman as Bill, and the confirmation of Melanie Lynskey joining the cast. The trailer also offers up confirmation that the show will go beyond the first game with a brief snapshot of Riley (Euphoria’s Storm Reid), who sits on a carousel with Ellie, a scene taken from The Last of Us: Left Behind DLC. The next shot is of a man sitting in front of multiple screens; while not confirmed, games of the fan could assume this to be Bill (Nick Offerman), a recluse who also happens to be friends with Joel. The next is more obscure and has little meaning to those who have not played the game, but we see two buildings in the middle of a storm, with one leaning against the other due to severe deterioration. Opening with footage of what one can assume to be the quarantined zone of Boston, the trailer quickly sets up the tone and feel of the world post-outbreak.
