First Look Photo of the Clickers in HBO's Series THE LAST OF US
A new photo has been released from the HBO series The Last Of Us, in which we get to take a look at the show’s take on the “clickers,” known from the popular video game. During Thursday’s Summer Game Fest, series co-creator and executive producer Neil Druckmann shared the first photo from the show, featuring stars Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey as lead characters Joel and Ellie.
Druckmann, who’s also the best-selling video game’s writer and creative director, also announced that Ashley Johnson and Troy Baker, voice actors in the Last of Us games, will be part of the HBO series. They’ll play different characters than the ones they voice in the games.
Based on Naughty Dog’s video game franchise, “the show is set 20 years after civilization as we know it is destroyed. Joel (Pascal, The Mandalorian), a hardened survivor, is hired to smuggle Ellie (Game of Thrones alum Ramsey), a 14-year-old girl, out of an oppressive quarantine zone. What starts as a small job soon becomes a brutal journey as they traverse the U.S. and depend on each other for survival.”
The cast also includes Gabriel Luna, Merle Dandridge, Nico Parker, Murray Bartlett, Nick Offerman, Jeffrey Pierce and Anna Torv. Check out the photo, and the lightened version Tweeted below, and let us know if you’re looking forward to the series, which is set to hit HBO in 2023.
