Neil Druckmann and Craig Mazin are teaming up to write and produce an HBO adaptation to the critically acclaimed game, The Last of Us.
Craig Mazin is the creator of HBO’s limited series, Chernobyl. It’s going to be interesting to see how things pan out between the two as Druckmann is the writer and creative director of The Last of Us. Bringing someone new into the creative process may prove to be a difficult task when creating a new series. We’ll just have to wait and see how the two work together. Read the full story here.
It’s an interesting time for video game fans as the bridge between games and movies is beginning to become smaller and smaller. With the recent success of the Netflix series, The Witcher, directors are sure to jump on the bandwagon and create more live-action films based on games.
It’s also interesting to see how big actors are beginning to take on these types of roles, bringing in even more awareness to video-game themed movies. Let’s hope that the cast for the HBO rendition of The Last of Us will bring even more big-name actors into the genre.
