In a recent discussion, Neil Druckmann and Alex Garland explored their careers and the thematic parallels between Druckmann's The Last of Us and Garland's 28 Days Later, particularly around virus-induced societal collapse. Garland expressed admiration for The Last of Us, declaring its writing superior to that of 28 Days Later. While both franchises have made significant cultural impacts, Druckmann's work is noted for its emotional depth. Looking ahead, The Last of Us franchise will see new video game content and TV series developments, particularly with a Season 2 debut coming soon.
The Last of Us is better than 28 Days Later, or at least the writing is. I know what 28 Days is. I know what I did. I know what the process was.
The thing about The Last of Us was I was like, 'Oh this is like so much more sophisticated and moving.' I'm not dissing 28 Days Later. It's a nice part of my life.
The Last of Us may never get a third installment in the game series, but the franchise's next gaming release is the PC launch of The Last of Us 2 Remastered in April.
As for the TV series, The Last of Us Season 2 arrives in April as well, and a new trailer just debuted at SXSW.
