Sunday’s installment of TheLastofUs introduces audiences to two characters from the video game, Bill and Frank — and changes their story completely.
” takes viewers back to the beginning of the world’s fungal apocalypse.
“They reach an end on their own terms,” Mazin said during a recent video call. “And like Bill says, ‘I’m old, I’m satisfied, and you were my purpose.’ That feels like a victory to me.” Neil Druckmann, the series co-creator and executive producer who also wrote the original game, credits the initial idea of Bill to “The Last of Us” game director Bruce Straley. The idea behind Bill, Druckmann said, was to introduce “someone that lives on their own” who is “kind of kooky, because what are you surviving for at that point?”‘The Last of Us,’ HBO’s new prestige drama based on the video game, stands apart from other zombie fare despite a shared post-apocalyptic premise.
While Bill vocalizes one warning — that getting close to someone is how you get killed in the world of the game — his purpose is to serve as the opposite. Bill is a glimpse of the kind of person Joel could become if he continues to avoid getting close to others: eccentric, bitter and alone. It was an important opportunity to show a pair of lives well-lived. Because for all of the dangers that exist in the world of the show, Bill and Frank found each other and lived a life together. The care that Mazin and the show’s creatives took in telling their story and depicting their relationship is clear.After an Emmy win for ‘White Lotus’ and a key role in ‘Welcome to Chippendales,’ the actor’s career is full of choices. It wasn’t always that way.
