Craig Mazin says HBO's adaptation of the last of us will enhance the game What’s your Reaction? +1 0 +1 0 +1 0 +1 0 +1 0 Facebook Twitter Email A big-screen adaptation of Naughty Dog’s The Last of Us had been in development for a number of years, but several months ago, the project transformed into an HBO series which will be written by Craig Mazin (Chernobyl) and Naughty Dog’s Neil Druckmann. The hit video-game takes place decades after a pandemic has radically changed civilization (too soon!), with infected humans running wild and survivors killing each other for food and supplies. The player takes control of Joel, a survivor who is hired to smuggle a 14 year-old girl, Ellie, across the United States. Related Videos Tweets by Naughty_Dog Style to wear
