The Last of Us‘ video game plot synopsis: “the story takes place twenty years after modern civilization has been destroyed. Joel, a hardened survivor, is hired to smuggle Ellie, a 14-year-old girl, out of an oppressive quarantine zone. What starts as a small job soon becomes a brutal, heartbreaking journey, as they both must traverse across the U.S. and depend on each other for survival.”

Thoughts
This has been a long time in the coming. They have been talking about a The Last of Us film adaptation for years, with Maisie Williams taking on the lead female role. Maisie might have aged out of the role now, since the character in question is a 14-year-old and Maisie is now twenty-two-years-old. Since they upped the ages of the children in Game of Thrones, they will probably do that for The Last of Us just to bring Maisie’s star-power and familiar face to the TV series. In addition, HBO knows what its going to get from Maisie, acting-wise, since she worked for them for eight years. I purchased The Last of Us last Christmas but I have not played it yet. This news will probably spur me to play through a little of it this weekend. Leave your thoughts on The Last of Us TV Series is Coming to HBO below in the comments section.
