'The Last of Us,' whose first season concluded Sunday, has not only won over gamers with high expectations, but also people who don't play video games.
In the HBO series "The Last of Us," a fungal infection has taken over Earth, rendering the United States an apocalyptic landscape protagonists Joel and Ellie need to traverse. Fans unfamiliar with the video game, from which the series was adapted, might assume this is just another zombie show packed with action and gore.
"And to see a whole bunch of new people connecting with these characters and hearing how they interpret the material and what they like or not like, it's just been really fascinating to me," said Druckmann, who was also the co-creator, writer and an executive producer on the show. Jin never played the game but started watching the show with friends; what made her stay invested was the third episode, which explores the relationship between survivalist Bill and his partner Frank . The standout episode told a story of love and hope in a grim world.
The show's plot is simple, but the key to its success is complex characters, explained avid gamer, writer and filmmaker Michael Tucker. Video games being recognized as a form of storytelling isn't new. Kim Shay, 26, isn't a gamer, but she saw social media buzz around the video game years before the HBO series was even announced. She watched full playthrough videos of the game on YouTube and was immediately captivated by the story.Video game adaptations are turning heads in Hollywood.
