We chat with TheLastOfUs creators Craig Mazin & Neil_Druckmann about how the pandemic inspired new elements in the series and helped them explore new perspectives:
The Last of Us has won countless awards and earned impressive critical acclaim since its 2013 release. The game is set in a post-apocalyptic world following a mutated fungal global pandemic. The Last of Us follows Joel, a smuggler, as he traverses the dangers of post-epidemic America with fourteen-year-old Ellie, whom he has been tasked with escorting. The Last of Us has expanded into an expansion, a sequel game, comic books, and now a television series on HBO.
Craig Mazin: Yeah, a little bit. We wanted to at least acknowledge that everybody knows about pandemics. That wasn't the case when Neil made the game in 2013. And we're all epidemiologists now. We're all scientists. We all understand how these things work. We wanted to acknowledge that we were aware of that, and we also wanted to put it in context and say, "Look, viral pandemics come and go. They're terrible. But then they end." This is something different.
Neil Druckmann: Well, yeah. That, to me, was part of the fun of diving back into this world and retelling the story is exactly what you mentioned, the game so much about [it] is getting you to connect with Joel and Ellie, which is why we're so dogmatic of only giving you their perspective and no one else's. I was very excited to go on these tangents and get to explore. I don't think it's a spoiler, but one of the ones I was most excited for was David.
After watching the first episode, I was like, "Yo, I just want to go all into this game," because it's incredible. And the relationship between Joel and Ellie is at the heart of the story. Can you talk about finding the chemistry between Pedro and Bella? Because it feels like the game, but still uniquely their own.
