Although I’m not much of a gamer I do know that THE LAST OF US was (and still is) a huge hit, with worldwide sales hitting 6 million in the last few weeks. At the beginning of March we reported that the game was to be converted into a film, but there was speculation as to what form that film would take.
However, these questions now have answers, as the game’s director Neil Druckmann has confirmed that it will be a direct adaptation:
“It’s an adaptation of the story of THE LAST OF US. As far as where we go and how we make it fit into a film, how it takes into account the unique properties of film…we’re not sure yet. We’re only just scratching the surface”.
Since Druckmann knows the game inside and out he’ll be writing the script for the adaptation, so there’s hope for fans that it’ll be as similar as possible.
With the recent influx of game adaptations (including NEED FOR SPEED) I hope someone somewhere decides to adapt Left 4 Dead – imagine The Witch on the big screen…
