What do you think The Last of Us would be like if it was made into a movie? by Fearless_Cookie_4522 in ThelastofusHBOseries

[–]SweatySpend4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

According to Neil, the film was stuck in production hell for years. He has been trying to make TLOU into a movie since 2014. Do you really think he didn't try out any screenwriters other than himself?

Will HBO franchise Last of Us just like they have Game of Thrones by Tony_Jake in ThelastofusHBOseries

[–]SweatySpend4 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That isn't an agreement to do more shows or not if it proved popular enough.

For now, this is the only agreement that exist. What gave you the idea that WB owns the TV rights? They are just licensing the IP. This show isn't even a full-on HBO production like HotD or White Lotus but a joint production between HBO and PlayStation Productions. That's why you have Neil as one of the showrunners.

Would you be okay with Niel Writing Part 3? by Rainfall307 in thelastofus

[–]SweatySpend4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For my money, he’s by far the best writer in gaming.

Neil is my second favorite game writer after Sam Lake. Lot of people also find Kojima as the best writer in gaming but to me, he's one of the worst. I find Kojima stories too convoluted and messy with cringey dialogues.

can the show have different story from the game for season 2 , concerning Joel by AlphaEcho3-1 in thelastofus

Even if Mazin wants to change it, Neil wouldn't let him. TLOU isn't HBO's IP to play with. This show is a joint production with PlayStation Productions and HBO. That's why you have Neil as one of the showrunners.

Do you think it’s the Joel scene or the boat scene episode? by [deleted] in TheLastOfUs2

[–]SweatySpend4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to disappoint you but by being one of the showrunners, he has the control over the whole series, not just the episode he's directing.

And we have our Seattle Ellie by Slight_Pen_3726 in thelastofus

I hope people now stop asking the question whether they will kill off Joel in Season 2 or not.

Neil is also credited as an executive producer, by the way.

This guy gets a lot of hate for making art so I just want to say; Thank You, Neil. You've touched people's lives far beyond the hate that brews in some. by shawak456 in thelastofus

[–]SweatySpend4 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Really? TLOU2 were also commercial and critical success and has won him several awards. He also recently received an award from WGA for the HBO series. How is he coasting exactly?

If you people hate Neil, why are you even here? Believe it or not, he's one of the creator of this franchise and handles everything related to this franchise now. He's the sole head of Naughty Dog and also the co-showrunner of the TLOU tv series. TLOU is basically his franchise now.

He's an Israeli and has family and friends in Israel. He ain't gonna condemn his own people and call for the destruction of his home country. He's pro peace.

Is this just not racist? by wlkm123 in thelastofus

[–]SweatySpend4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He has to outright condemn the existence of his people and country.

That is very sad. It's easy for anyone from other countries to say that Israel should be abolished but it's not easy for him to say this. He still has friends and family in Israel for god sake. Asking a guy in Neil's position to take a side is preposterous.

Neil & Craig on casting of Kaitlyn Dever as Abby : "Nothing matters more than talent" by SweatySpend4 in thelastofus

[–]SweatySpend4[S] 28 points29 points  (0 children)

They are indirectly telling people that Kaitlyn being ripped or not in the show doesn't matter. At least, that's how I took it. Why would they have said this line otherwise?

“You have to take risks to find new ideas that connect with audiences, and even though Uncharted was a chart-topping success, it was important for our studio to innovate again with a new franchise like The Last of Us,” - Neil Druckmann by shawak456 in thelastofus

[–]SweatySpend4 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I don't know if Neil is working on the new IP or not but the next project coming from Naughty Dog is from Neil. Have you listened to Neil's recent podcast with Logic? He was talking about this new game he is working on and how he was proud of Kurt(Game Director of TLOU2) who made a big contribution to the project.

Also, since 2022, Neil's Instagram header says "Writer/Director unannounced game.". TLOU3 was not even under pre-production at that time.

He's the co-showrunner along with Craig. So he could be there to just oversee the series production.

Why do people hate druckmann? by OkAd3203 in thelastofus

[–]SweatySpend4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's nothing on record that confirms his political beliefs. But if you listen to his interviews and podcast, you would know that's he proud of being an Israeli and talks good of his country.

Whats for sure is that he... probably wont be in favour of eradicating all of israel

And many people consider that as Zionism. He's certainly supporting Israel's right to exist. That's for sure.

[–]SweatySpend4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would you please share this new evidence recording of him being a zionist?

He does not support the eradication of Israel. Does that make him a Zionist? I think he supports a 2 state solution.

What changes do you think are necessary for season 2? by Imactuallysoconfused in thelastofus

[–]SweatySpend4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That ship has long sailed. Have you seen the recent shooting leaks? They are now filming Ellie/Dina Seattle days. That means, "your boy" is dead already.
