The movie ‘The Last of Us’ will not follow the game content

Very little information has been revealed about the movie The Last of Us since this project was announced. However, recently, Naughty Dog creative director Neil Druckmann hinted that the movie version of the game won’t stick to the game’s original plot.

During a talk on storytelling in video games, film, and television with film producer Dan Trachtenberg at the 2018 DICE Summit yesterday, Druckmann took the opportunity to share his thoughts on the film based on series Uncharted and The Last of Us.

Speaking of Uncharted, Druckmann said he was quite pleased with how director Shawn Levy approached the film: “We talked to Shawn Levy. He was very dedicated and I think he understood what we meant.” The upcoming Uncharted movie will focus on the adventures of young Nathan Drake (Actor Tom Holland will take the lead).

Without saying too much about the movie The Last of Us, Druckmann pointed out that the initial script he wrote for the film closely followed the storytelling in the game. Commenting on the script, he said, “Now, having lost touch with it, I look back and feel that – I didn’t want the movie to be made that way.”

Given these, it doesn’t seem like Naughty Dog is interested in sticking to the content from their titles. Druckmann further elaborated on the studio’s approach to video game films that they will “evolve” over time. “After a while, we were no longer interested in sticking to the game content as we did because people felt that we told the story in the game too well, so I don’t know if you have What could be better than that?”

Incorporating new elements into a movie is a risky venture, new scenarios can anger game fans, but it can also create new opportunities to add a unique, independent character to the movie. film.

We’ll have to wait and see if the Uncharted or The Last of Us movies will continue to follow the failures of previous game-based movies. Currently, there is no release date for the film, people will probably have to wait a bit longer to find out.
