Thrilling First Teaser Trailer for HBO Max's THE LAST OF US
HBO Max has dropped the first teaser trailer for its upcoming series adaptation of the hit video game The Last of Us. This is a fantastic first look that has definitely got me excited about what this thrilling series is going to deliver! It looks great and the trailer is perfectly set to Hank Williams' “Lone and Forsaken.”
Pedro Pascal stars in the series as Joel, and Bella Ramsey is taking on the role of Ellie in the upcoming video game adaptation. They are joined by Gabriel Luna as Joel's brother Tommy, Anna Torv, Merle Dandrige, Nick Offerman, Storm Reid, Nico Parker, Gabriel Luna, Jeffrey Pierce, and Murray Bartlett.
The Last of Us takes place 20 years after modern civilization has been destroyed by a deadly virus. Joel (Pascal), a hardened survivor, is hired to smuggle Ellie (Ramsey), a 14-year-old girl, out of an oppressive quarantine zone to the Fireflies, a cure-searching organization. What starts as a small job soon becomes a brutal, heartbreaking journey, as they both must traverse across the U.S. and depend on each other for survival.
The trailer shows off the bleakness of the show, and as you’ll see, all of the characters are in despair as they are forced to survive in this post-apocalyptic civilization that is overrun with horrific clickers.
Craig Mazin, the creator of HBO’s acclaimed limited series Chernobyl, wrote The Last of Us and is also executive producing with Neil Druckmann, who is the writer and creative director of the game.
The Last of Us is set for release on HBO in 2023.
