HBO Casts Joel and Ellie in its The Last of Us Adaptation
Two Game of Thrones Favorites Are Stepping Into the Roles
It’s fair to say that video games have grown into a legitimate art form, and The Last of Us is a big part of that. The series has excelled at telling human stories in a post-apocalyptic wasteland, with themes like love, hate, revenge, and humanity. Coupled with top-of-the-line graphics, a beautiful score, and some brilliant gameplay and it’s fair to see why rumors of an adaptation were flying for years before HBO officially greenlit a series. Alas, Maisie Williams – the early favorite for the role of Ellie – is too old, despite her enthusiasm, but don’t worry, Game of Thrones fans – two of its stars are stepping into the shoes of Ellie and Joel.
