The Last of Us film to be an adaptation of the video game

14 Mar 2014

Creative Director Neil Druckmann spoke to IGN this week, saying that the upcoming The Last of Us film will be an adaption of the video game.

“It’s an adaptation of the story of The Last of Us,” Druckmann confirmed. “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.”

Druckmann is writing the film’s script with input from Naughty Dog. Sam Raimi’s Ghost House production company is also tied to the project.
