HBO’s The Last of Us now has an official trailer ahead of its release on January 15th. The trailer shows Joel and Ellie beginning their journey and some of the threats they face, including some brief glimpses of the clickers. Of course, those are not the only dangers the pair will face in The Last of Us, as Joel looks to escort Ellie westwards.
Creative Director on the original Neil Druckmann has had an integral role in the adaptation, even directing one of the episodes. Meanwhile, Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey have taken the leading roles as Joel and Ellie, but there’s a great cast throughout. Storm Reid will play Riley Able, Nico Parker will be Sarah, while Murray Bartlett and Nick Offerman will appear as Frank and Bill, the two friends of Joel who are met on the journey.
The Last of Us Part I Review – The remake we never thought we needed
Before you watch the show you might like to replay through the game itself. The Last of Us Part 1 Remake was released for PS5 in September, and in our review Jim said, “With The Last of Us Part I, Naughty Dog knew exactly when to apply the brakes, retaining the frantic feel of its combat and survival mechanics while dramatically improving every other aspect of this PlayStation classic. Thanks to the remake, it’s just as essential today as was back when The Last of Us made its game-changing debut. An impressively gorgeous remake of a bonafide masterpiece. Just don’t expect that hefty price tag to bring much more than cosmetic feeling changes to this emotional narrative.”
The Last of Us will premiere on January 15th for HBO Max in the US, and on Sky Atlantic and NOW TV in the UK.
