The Last of Us co-creators reveal why the premiere combined what was originally two separate episodes.
The Last of Us creators, Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann, recently revealed that the premiere episode was originally two separate episodes. The new zombie horror HBO show is based on the critically acclaimed 2013 PlayStation 3 video game of the same name. Pedro Pascal stars as Joel Miller, a rugged survivor who is tasked to escort precocious 14-year-old orphan, Ellie , across a post-apocalyptic United States to the militant revolutionary faction known as the Fireflies.
Druckmann explains that the premiere episode was to conclude after the 20 year time-jump as Joel throws an infected child into a burn pit. However, due to important story feedback from the show's producers, episode 1 and 2 were merged to draw viewers into the relationship between Joel and Ellie. Read what Mazin and Druckmann explained below:
Mazin: Well, HBO, I think correctly -- this is where you want good partners at the network, right. I always feel like the best network executives are there to honestly represent the audience. That's what they do best. They're not supposed to write things for us. They're supposed to tell us how they feel, and we're supposed to have faith in their proxy ability.
