The Last of Us Series First Trailer
The Last of Us is one of the most popular and influential games of the last decade. His heartbreaking story will not be trapped in the world of video games and that he will soon make the leap to television as part of an HBO series, which has just shown off its first trailer.
Through different social channels, HBO, Naughty Dog, and PlayStation shared the first trailer for The Last of Us. It is a trailer of more than 1 minute and a half, which shows us the live-action version of the devastating world in which Joel, Ellie and the rest of humanity must survive.
Based on the popular video games, The Last of Us stars Pascal as Joel, a hardened survivor living in one of America’s last human settlements, a militarized quarantine zone. This is 20 years after the whole world has been ravaged by a fungal plague that transforms the infected into insatiable, zombified monsters.
The teaser for the 2023 series was released on September 26, in honor of “The Last of Us” official Outbreak Day in the video game, marking the first case of the infectious (fictional) virus, the cordyceps fungus.
The rebel group is known as the Fireflies task Joel with smuggling a mysterious young girl — Ramsey’s Ellie — out of the quarantine zone to their allies on the outside. But what begins as a straightforward task snowball into an odyssey across what’s left of the United States.
Set to the somber notes of Hank Williams’ “Alone and Forsaken,” the Last of Us teaser begins inside the quarantine zone, featuring a close-up of the broken watch face of Joel’s timepiece — a recognizable piece of iconography from the games.
We then see snapshots of various characters Joel and Ellie will meet on their journey. Fans of The Last of Us and The Last of Us Part II games will recognize some of them.
The series is a co-production with Sony Pictures Television, and PlayStation Productions, Word Games, The Mighty Mint and Naughty Dog produce.
