The Last of Us
There have been murmurs of a big screen adaptation of The Last of Us almost since the game was released. The Last of Us really belongs on the small screen not the big screen. In a world where The Walking Dead is one of the most popular shows around, The Last of Us would fit in perfectly. A movie would likely rush the incredible slow burn that is Joel and Ellie’s relationship. The show could really take its time with the central duo and expand things outside of what fans saw in the game.
All the big moments from the games could be there and it could even follow the same central premise, Joel has to get Ellie to the Fireflies. Otherwise The Last of Us TV show would and should be free to explore the destroyed but oddly beautifully post-apocalyptic world of the game. The Last of Us shouldn’t be designed to go on forever but there is way too much story to be confined to a single movie, especially with the sequel on the horizon.
