Craig Mazin, co-creator of the HBO adaptation of The Last of Us, shares his profound emotional experience with the original video game. The series premiered to critical acclaim, featuring the central characters Joel and Ellie, and a mysterious newcomer named Abby. Mazin's journey from gamer to director showcases his passion for storytelling, maintaining fidelity to the source material while preparing audiences for impactful moments in season 2, which adapts content from the sequel, The Last of Us Part II.
I remember when the game started, I was like, 'I get it. It's like Uncharted... When it was over, I just thought, I've been playing video games my whole life. I never felt anything like that.'
Mazin and Druckmann have kept the HBO adaptation largely faithful to the story of The Last of Us and its sequel, The Last of Us Part II. Expect quite a few zeitgeist-shattering moments to go down between now and the finale.
