Pedro Pascal, Bella Ramsey to headline HBO’s ‘Last of Us’

By PTI
LOS ANGELES: “The Mandalorian” star Pedro Pascal and teenage actor Bella Ramsey will play the lead roles in HBO’s adaptation of common online game “The Last of Us”.

HBO had given a collection order to the undertaking, which hails from Chernobyl creator Craig Mazin and sport’s author Neil Druckmann, in November 2020, based on The Hollywood Reporter.

“The Last of Us”, which was launched in 2013, takes place 20 years after trendy civilisation has been destroyed.

Joel, a hardened survivor, is employed to smuggle Ellie, a 14-year-old lady, out of an oppressive quarantine zone.

What begins as a small job quickly turns into a brutal, heartbreaking journey, as they each should traverse throughout the US and rely upon one another for survival.

Pascal will likely be enjoying the position of Joel within the present, whereas Ramsey will star as Ellie.

With the brand new undertaking, the 2 actors will reunite with the premium cable TV community after they starred in epic fantasy collection “Game of Thrones”.

However, Pascal and Ramsey, who essayed the roles of Oberyn Martell and Lyanna Mormont, respectively, by no means shared the display area within the hit collection.

Filmmaker Kantemir Balagov will helm the pilot episode of “Last of Us” with Mazin and Druckmann serving as govt producers.

The present will likely be produced by HBO and Sony Pictures TV together with PlayStation Productions, Word Games and sport developer Naughty Dog.
