Alien: Romulus director Fede Álvarez reveals how The Last of Us Part II inspired his film's storyline and Isabela Merced's casting.
David Fincher was once attached to make World War Z 2, and he's ultimately glad that it didn't end up working out.
There are times where The Last of Us has really pushed the boundaries to what fans have to go through, so when did they think enough was enough?
The Last of Us movie wasn't made because there was a wish to make it bigger and more action-heavy, which did not suit the game's original story.
The Uncharted movie and The Last of Us series are "just the beginning" of Sony's efforts to expand into new media, according to PlayStation boss Jim Ryan.
The Last of Us: Part II will go down in history as one of the most anticipated (and divisive) video games in history. We've written about all the reasons why, and rather extensively at that, but it's important to remember that the Naughty Dog production is first and foremost a team effort. All of its successes and missteps, they're all a result of the hundreds and thousands of people who came together over the better part of the last decade to pull off the incredible feat. One of those team members, concept artist Danar Worya, recently reached …
In 2013, The Last of Us challenged players to survive a post-apocalypse where the very air could kill you if you let it. (LOL fiction can be fun!) That challenge got amped up a notch about a year later when Naughty Dog added the newly minted "Grounded" difficulty to the game. Supplies were scant, "Listen Mode" was disabled as was the HUD, enemies tripled their damage dealt and had boosted A.I. smarts, and your character's health was nearly impossible to gauge. This difficulty setting also introduced "Permadeath" runs, meaning you get one life to live, so you'…
Worry not, The Last of Us fans, because producer Craig Mazin is here to reassure us the HBO adaptation won't mess with the hit Naughty Dog game in at least one major way. We learned back in March Chernobyl creator Mazin was working with The Last of Us franchise creator Neil Druckmann on a live-action TV adaptation of the post-apocalyptic game. Since then, news about the adaptation has come out in bits and pieces, including confirmation of the pilot episode director and who will score the show. In a recent interview for BBC Radio 5 Live's …

For the next five seconds, think about how many people you know. Five, four, three, two, time's up! How many could you come up with? Seven, or maybe nine hundred? Neither of those very good numbers come even close to touching the number of copies The Last of Us Part II has sold. That very good number? Over 4 million! Holy fungal zombies! Naughty Dog and Sony have delivered another blockbuster in their third-person action-adventure sequel; no small feat given how polarizing, emotionally devastating, and unprecedentedly uncompromising the game is (can you imagine Michael Haneke's's …
The Last of Us and The Last of Us Part II are video games stuffed with action, gunfire, and fungal zombies that make click clack noises to signal they're about to eat you. But that's not what makes the franchise stick in my brain. What makes it stick in my brain are the incredible characters -- especially Ellie and Joel -- and the incredible performances -- especially from Ashley Johnson and Troy Baker. Now that we know the world of The Last of Us is moving to HBO as a show under Chernobyl showrunner Craig Mazin's vision, one big question …
