JohnC Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 They say this won't air this year. Even though they've got as far as having early episodes fully shot, it won't air until next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capwn Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Oh what? Shame but if anything that suggests they are taking their time and investing in this. I have this feeling that THIS is the one, this is the break-through moment for tv/film adaptations based on a game. That isn't just hugely popular but well acclaimed too. You can quote me later on that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mushashi Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 HBO gave this a huge budget and got an acclaimed creator to work on it, that's about as good a foundation as you can hope for with any project. Though saying all that, I had a look at Craig Mazin's CV and it ever so slightly gives you an amber warning, depends if Chernobyl was a fluke. Edit - He's also co-written the Borderlands film so if he is truly gifted, he'll manage to make both a great TV and film adaption in the same year.

grounded_dreams Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 While we patiently wait for the TV show, here is a fan made film based on the game. I've been following the production and the film launches today. Enjoy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mexos Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 I'm not sure, I saw a little clip and... dunno it's like the uncanny valley in reverse. Just felt off to me. Obvs I will watch them though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garibaldi Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Obviously I can’t speak with great confidence after seeing such a short clip, but Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey still feel like the wrong actors for these roles. I appreciate they’re not just trying to remake the game scene by scene, but if that’s the case then it was a bad decision to promote the show with a small re-enactment that had none of the emotional weight of the original. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obvs I will watch them though. I hear ya. The game characters are so ingrained that to use actors which look so unlike their game counterparts is a little jarring for me. I’m sure the performances will win me over but these clips are doing nothing for me at the moment. I’m excited to see it regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 That looks fantastic. It's weird seeing such recognisable characters played by different actors - everything they show in the trailer seems to have replicated the look of the game exactly (some of the shots could have come from the PS5 remake) with the exception of the people, because none of them exist. Even the clothes are the same. It'll no doubt take a bit of getting used to, but it still looks great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 That shot of the buildings collapsed together. Those clicker sounds. And the talent behind and in front of the camera. I'm hopeful this will be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ry Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 Will they do something new is my biggest question. Or will the first season basically be the first game? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeK Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 I do think the actor playing Ellie looks like an older woman trapped in a little body. She has unnervingly aged eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read somewhere that it has the same father/son duo but they have a very different back story for example. am sure, like the walking dead, they will have fun playing with the gamers expectations and taking detours when least expected. I don’t think gamers in general have high regard for the ‘story’ of LOU1, as in the smaller beats of the story at least. It’s really about the relationship and the bants, which is why I find it odd that this trailer doesn’t really showcase any of that dynamic.

Popo Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 That’s extremely promising stuff. They’ve captured the aesthetic and tone and texture of that world better than I would have thought possible. Hope the clickers don’t look too silly.

It is a teaser not a trailer. So this getting little dialog, lots of fast cuts over a slow song is the type of stuff you normally expect to get in a teaser nowadays.

Vemsie Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 Great trailer. There seems to be some excellent buzz around this show. I wouldn't be surprised if this does HotD esque numbers (and like Edgerunners will boost sales of the game). 16 hours ago, Ry said: Will they do something new is my biggest question.
