The Last of Us show "will be the best, most authentic game adaptation", says creator Druckmann
"They think people want to see the🍨 gameplay onscreen"

The Last of Us creator and co-writer/exec 🔜producer of the upcoming HBO show, Neil Druckmann, believes that his adaptation of the critically-acclaimed video game will be "the best, most authentic game adaptati𒅌on" yet.
"I think it will change things," Druckmann said about 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Last of Us TV show in an interview with (via ). "Sometimes adaptations haven’t worked because the source material is not strongඣ enough. Sometimes they haven’t worked because the people making it don’t understand the source material."
The key, according to Druckmann and screenwriter Craig Mazin, was that they approached the show very differently from that of the game whils﷽t still respecting the original medium.
“I love the ability to wander, to do nothing, in Skyrꦦim,” Mazin said.▨ "[But] that is not translatable! The Last of Us was always a story where the story comes first."
"Hopefully, this will put that video-game curse to bed,” Druckmann said, believing that the show "will be the best, most authentic game adaptation". Mazin's quipped response? That is "not the h🥂ighest bar in the wo🔴rld".
"I cheated - I just took the one with the best story," Mazin explained. "Like, I love Assassin’s Creed. But when they announced that they were gonna make it as a movie I was, like, I don’t know how! Be🅰cause the joy of it is the gameplay. The st▨ory is impenetrable."
“The other thing that people get🌌 wrong is that they think people want to see the gameplay onscreen," Druckmann added.

The Last of Us TV show, which is hitting HBO, NOW TV, and Sky Atlantic this January, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:is scaling back on that violence – and for good reason.
“We need a certain amount of action, or violence, that we could use for mechanics so you could connect with Joel and get into a flow state,” Druckmann said in the upcoming issue of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:SFX magazine, 💯which features Teen🐼 Wolf on the cover. "Then you would really feel like you’re connected with this on-screen avatar and you’re seeing the world through his eyes.
"But that doesn’t exist in a passive medium. One of the things that I loved hearing from [Mazin] and HBO very early on was, ‘Let’s take out all the violence except for the very essential'. That allowed the violence to have even more impact than in the game, because when you hold on showing the threat and you’re seeing p꧑eople’s reaction to a threat, that makes it scarier."
