Television adaptation producer The last of us from HBO stated that the series will not rewrite the plot of the original game, but will supplement it. Craig Mazin told in an interview for BBC Radio 5 about my work with Neil Druckmann on the transfer of the cult project Naughty dog on screens.
“I know fans get worried when someone else gets a development license and those people don’t really understand the project or are going to change it,” Meizin says. “In this case, I’m working with the guy who created the original, so the changes we’re making are to fill in the gaps and expand the story. We don’t want to rewrite the original, but rather improve it. “
Earlier Mazin called himself a fan of the franchise, and work on the series “a dream come true.” He personally experienced the full range of emotions that a small box connected to the screen gives players.
“We are creating something new, but we are also rethinking what already exists to give people a completely different format,” he adds. “I see it as a dream come true for me. It scares me a little, because the emotions that I got from the game are very strong. I think I will have to hide in the bunker for a while, because what you are doing is not to everyone’s liking. “
The series will be based on the events of the first game. The pilot episode of the film adaptation of The Last of Us will be directed by the director of “Chernobyl” Johan Renck, who has already worked with Mazin.
