Man...I absolutely love this game, and all performances in it. I agree it is a very cinematic game, but just wonder that if Hollywood got ahold of it that they do it the tight justice it deserves.

I think Sam Raimi is a  ing atrocious director, so I hope he stays a million miles away from the chair on this one. Aside from that, I'm SUUPPPPPEEERRR pumped at the idea that this could happen. The Last of Us is in my top 5 greatest video games of all time. So I think there stands a chance the bar will be set way too high for me on this one. I'm not sure that a film can live up to that, but I'm glad that Druckmann is the guy behind the pen. No matter what, I'll still have the game, which I've beat a half dozen times now. So I'll throw money at any attempt to make this franchise even more popular. A direct adaption wouldn't necessarily be my first choice, because I'd like to see more on Joel and Tess, or pick up where Joel and Ellie's story left off, but the game story is obviously sensational. I know it's so stupid but Ellen Page really should do the film. At least cash-in on the franchise this way. She looks exactly like Ellie, not to take anything away from Ashley Johnson's incredible voice work. Josh Brolin has always been Joel for me. He's one of my favorite actors and I would love to see him get the part. |

On the topic of Naughty Dog, whatever happened to that proposed Uncharted movie that was going to have Marky Mark of all people playing Nathan Drake? Development Hell? Either way, I want to see an Uncharted film long before The Last of Us. I'm tired of zombie/mutant apocalypses...

Eh I'd rather they keep it animated like do what the did for Beowulf and Polar Express instead of live action.

This does not need a movie. The game was perfect and is basically a movie in itself. IMO anything done on screen will pale in comparison to the performances and work in the game.

Yeah, I'm with you here. If Naughty Dog has no intention of doing a game sequel, which they are unwilling to commit to at this point, then I think the movie would be great to follow up the game. Over 4 million copies of the game have sold, so people know the story. So I think giving us something new, using the world and the characters we already love, is a far better approach. I've never really understood the idea of wanting to see the exact same story played out over again. Video games are playable movies. If I want to see that story I'll just play the game. This is the roadblock that video game adaptions will always struggle with and why I feel they can't be successful in the way of comic book adaptions. I think we should always want more story, versus the same story, but maybe that's not the most popular opinion. |

Game is incredible.
I really don't like Sam Raimi. At all.
I hope he has a little to no say in the actual film-making.

It should make a good movie although we'll see since many video games adapted to movies don't end up being good..

I agree with what was previously said. The game was a movie in itself. I'm fine with leaving that as is. With that being said, the movie will come along anyhow. I'll take a big pass on Gerard Butler and Ellen Page though. Page is 27. Young looking or not, I don't think she can pull off 14-year-old young. My pick for Joel would be McDermott.  For Ellie, I really have no idea. |

I would probably watch.
Ugh. They really need to release a "definitive edition" of this on PS4 already.

I would probably watch. Ugh. They really need to release a "definitive edition" of this on PS4 already. This, a thousand times over. I've held off on downloading Left Behind with the genuine hope that this happens. So many people got rid of their PS3s in exchange for PS4 and now they can't play the game. I'm not one of those people, as I have too many games and too much download content on my PS3 to just move on without it, but the lack of backwards compatibility is atrocious imo. Especially now, since PS4 users are essentially sitting on their hands waiting for new games to come out right now. Naughty Dog needs to do the exact same thing Square did with Tomb Raider, and that's is pay a company to port over their game to PS4 so that it looks insane, and like something fans will buy over again. The problem with Naughty Dog is they are still a small company. This is why I believe they haven't announced The Last of Us 2 yet, because they don't have the man power to make it. They are working on Uncharted 4 for PS4 right now and if they do decide to do The Last of Us 2, then they have to put all other future projects on hold due to those projects eating up both their development teams. So it seems to me that the best idea is to get a PS4 conversion done with a 3rd party, make some money and hold over fans, and then work on a sequel at some point down the road. ND seems to have an original game idea they want to get off the ground after Uncharted, so I think that's why they keep saying they can't commit to any of these projects right now. The Last of Us was the reason we didn't get a commitment for Uncharted 4 sooner, so I think we are seeing a similar situation here. That's just my guess though. Hopefully a new series will deliver with the same level of awesomeness that Uncharted and The Last of Us have. |

I traded in my PS3 and games when I upgraded to PS4 so I'm missing out on the Last of Us DLC. I got the "Definitive Edition" of Tomb Raider. Good stuff. |

  Those would be my picks. Love Hugh Jackman and really think he would make a great Joel. |

Even though Neil Druckmann is writing the script, I hope this movie falls into pre-production hell and never gets made.

Hopefully a new series will deliver with the same level of awesomeness that Uncharted and The Last of Us have. Naughty Dog actually has two teams. While one was working on the Last of Us, the other one worked on U3 and U4. U4 has been in development for the past 3 years according to news. But since Amy Hennig was laid off, it looks Neil Druckmann and Bruce Straley are taking the reins of Uncharted 4 which means most of their time will be devoted to that rather than a Last of Us Sequel. |

It's been announced that it will be an adaptation of the games story. I'm on the fence with this decision. The game's main focus is Joel and Ellie so the film should focus on them. However, they're setting themselves up for likely failure for audiences who have played the game because the movie will not be able to reproduce the same intensity of emotions that the game has accomplished. The movie will probably draw people who have never played the game or don't have a ps3. I trust Neil Druckmann but who knows how many more hands are going to touch the script by the time filming starts? If they make this film into the typical post-apocalyptic infected film, it will be a total shame. But then again, I'm a guy who thinks the game shouldn't have a sequel cause I think it's great as a stand alone game. |
