'Last of Us' HBO: 6 Actors Who Could Play Joel & Ellie -- According to Fans
HBO will breathe life to "The Last of Us" video game series. But the question now is: who should play the lead roles of Joel and Ellie?
One of the most critically acclaimed video games in history will come to life soon, thanks to HBO. Instead of a movie adaptation, the network announced on Thursday their plan to develop a TV series based on "The Last of Us" with the help of Sony Pictures Television and PlayStation Productions.
Though HBO already confirmed that the soon-to-be hit series is already in the development, they refused to give a hint on the target release date. However, they previously publicized that they partnered with Neil Druckmann, a BAFTA awardee, and executive producer Craig Mazin for the show.
"From the first time I sat down to talk with Craig, I was equally blown away by his approach to narrative and his love and deep understanding of 'The Last of Us,'" Druckmann said through an e-mail.
Now that the video game is about to storm the TV screens, fans weighed in and shared their top stars who they think can give justice to the characters.
