The authors of “The Last of Us” on video games Hollywood should adapt next

The second season of “The Last of Us” is coming to an end, but with HBOS Pilz -apocalypse green illuminated for further episodes beyond the source material, Hollywood's video game Renaissance has just started. “A Minecraft Movie” went around the sun at the box office this spring. Even with middling-to-bath reviews “until dawn”, more was brought back than the budget.

“I think you are currently seeing a lot of mining of the most popular games,” said Neil Druckmann from Indiewire. Head of the video game studio Naughty Dog, in which he wrote with Halley Gross with Halley Gross with the record “The Last of Us Part II”.

“But there are a lot of smaller games that are really nice,” said Druckmann, who is also executing producer and co-creator at Craig Mazin on the TV show “The Last Us”. Gross was a former “Westworld” creative and wrote several episodes with the showrunner and printman.

“Games do a nice job when they immerse themselves in different worlds,” Gross told indiewire. “There are distinctions between the media, playing between the film, between television, but at the end of the day it is about experiencing a little outside of you and expanding your horizon.”

Druckmann and Gross emphasized the importance of indie games for an indie film page and offered several game adjustments that they would like to see for the large screen or the television.

“There is this game with the title” Inside “, which is one of the best stories that I have experienced in every medium,” he said. “This game called” Ico “and” Shadow of the Colussus “and” The Last Guardian “.

“Oh my god, he loves' Balatro,” laughed. “Hopefully our show will let people go:” Hey, what games can be like that? Now I'm fascinated and now I may play something new. Maybe I'll try 'Ghost of Tsushima' or 'God of War'. It is really exciting to bring these two things together. ”

She continued: “We are in this really interesting renaissance of game adjustments and we hope that” The Last of Us “is this bridge.” Sales for both games rose considerably after the show.

With a view to the future, “Five nights at Freddy's” and “Mortal Kombat” will return later this year, with the sequels for autumn. Below we will receive larger adjustments – think of “The Sims” and “Assassin's Creed”, but also more from the “Super Mario Bros. Movie”, “Angry Birds” and “Sonic the Hedgehog”.

After one of the most famous child-friendly racing titles in the Naughty Dog, a main favorite of non-nintendo families in the 90s, Druckmann had bad news about the film futures of “Crash Bandicoot”.

“I will break your heart here, because 'Crash Bandicoot' doesn't belong to us,” said Druckmann. “” Crash Bandicoot “belongs to Microsoft. While Naughty Dog 'Crash Bandicoot' created it. So I will show your question to Phil Spencer, head of the Xbox.

“The Last of Us” season 2 will be broadcast on HBO and Max new episodes on Sunday evening at 9:00 p.m.
