The Last of Us TV Show has a budget well above 8 figures per episode

This shyt might be the new game of thrones

The Last of Us which commences photography this week is indeed a monster," Petti said. "It has five art directors and employs an army of hundreds of technicians. It has had six months of prep and shoots (in Alberta) for 12 months."

Petti couldn't confirm the budget, rumoured to be in the hundreds of millions.

"I cannot confirm the official budget numbers but will say it is likely the largest project shooting in Canada," he said, in an email to CTV News.

That money is being spent in-province, providing Alberta small businesses with a boost coming out of the pandemic.

"This project well exceeds the eight figure per episode mark," he said, "so there is a multiplier effect on our economy in terms of its impact. There are hundreds of related businesses benefitting from the plethora of work."

Per IATSE 212 President Damian Petti

have they said if its gonna be a direct retelling of the story or are they taking creative liberties to flesh the universe out ??

prob the latter.

which is good.

hopefully it won't be a situation where the show potentially gets ahead of the game and they end the game at Part 3.

I just know fukkmann is going to deliberately torpedo the story to push his nonsense

they said they cancelled the movie because they were pushing for it to be more action based and the creative team weren’t feeling it.

the show is supposed to be more grounded like the
Game with more character moments

 

[Gizmo_Duck]

I also have a feeling they’re gonna tease the show with the remake or part 3

it’s a direct retelling of the core story, you’ll probably see more on support characters like Bill, Tess & Riley tho

remember it's a tv show...they can take their time telling the story...especially with the travel of Joel/Ellie, formation of the fireflies, fall of society...all provide good material to work with

in HBO we trust brehs

they need to get on a GTA series with 4, you can do Niko' story, mob war, NY political & police corruption...so much fukkery

Must be going into the cgi.

It should not be 10000000 per ep

I think a lot of it is going into locations. They have been shutting down entire zip codes in Calgary to film. last I heard they were using a lot of practical effects

 

[duckbutta]

There's only one episode I'm interested in seeing

 

[Regular_P]

I'm assuming they'll add some details with Abby and her father near the end of the season to get people ready for the sequel/second season.

And I'm still in the middle of the first game;
