VIDEO The first official trailer for the HBO Max adaptation, The Last of Us: what we know about it

The first official trailer for the film adaptation of The Last Of Us Day was recently released, and that’s very good news indeed.

The clip, which runs just over a minute and a half, includes some of the most memorable moments from the history-making game from 2013 to the present day. Incidentally, it should be noted that the title got a full remake for PS5 recently.

In the clip you can see a pretty bombastic opening sequence, but you can also hear the unmistakable sound of a clicker. It looks like the upcoming movie series will also draw from the Left Behind expansion, which might make some people happy.

What The Last of Us is all about

Obviously, you can watch this series even if you didn’t, at the time, play this title. And if the series grabs your attention, it might even push you towards the game. So, depending on how HBO plays its cards, the results are likely to be win-win-win.

For the uninitiated, The Last of Us tells the story of Joel (played by Pedro Pascal) and Ellie (played by Bella Ramsay). The two travel to a version of the fictional near-future United States of America. In this future, everything is ravaged by a fungal infection that turns victims into aggressive, zombie-like creatures. The trailer does a pretty good job of capturing the terrifying atmosphere that you can also experience in the game.

It’s becoming increasingly clear that HBO has pinned all its hopes on this series, and if all goes well, The Last of Us could become the new The Walking Dead. While there’s no specific release date yet, the show will premiere on HBO and HBO Max sometime in early 2023.
