HBO and Naughty Dog officially announced TV series based on the game The Last of Us (in Russia the name was translated as "The Last of Us"). Details are still scarce, but it is known that Craig Mazin, creator of “Chernobyl”, And Neil Druckmann, Game Director of TLOU. Here's what the internet thinks about this idea.
The series on TLOU (!) From HBO (!!) by Mazin (!!!) in collaboration with Drakman (!!!) - it sounds so fucking amazing that it is hard to believe that this is not a fake, but a real confirmed project.

My heart can't stand it. Neil + Craig + HBO is literally the best crew you can ask for. They will surely delight fans with this release!
You see the what the Witcher TV show did for that franchise. Just imagine how many new TLOU fans were going to get if the show is done right 😭
This franchise is never going to die. pic.twitter.com/QCqAfT3ZDa

We've already seen how much the Witcher series has done for the franchise. Just imagine how many new fans TLOU will have if the show is done right! This franchise will never die.
me, still not over the heartbreak and trauma of tlou, trying to process the fact that we’re getting a sequel AND a tv adaptation pic.twitter.com/ljSDIFmR3K

I am still not moving away from the trauma and broken heart after the final of TLOU, trying to realize that this series received both a sequel and a TV adaptation.
However, not everyone is so positive.
even though Christopher Nolan, film adaptations will never be close to games 🤠 https://t.co/17GN6PJ52K

tlou nation if this series ends up like the uncharted movie we all gotta collectively pretend like it never happened
- allie (@eIliesjoel) March 5, 2020
TLOU fans, if the series turns out to be like the Uncharted movies, let's all together pretend it never existed.
not people shitting on tlou stannies who aren’t excited about the tv show... we’re not saying you can’t be excited we’re just expressing valid concerns foh pic.twitter.com/adhqgIYe5c

Stop blaming fans who are not sure about the success of the new series. We do not prevent you from happily expecting it - we are simply expressing quite logical concern.
Some remind that Naughty Dog should still be working on a new game, not getting caught up in the show.
y are u guys so loud ab everything BUT THE GAME https://t.co/6gL5YDYCyX

Why are you talking about everything BUT THE GAME?
Many users offer their candidates for the role of the main characters.

The only person who can even come close to the image of Ellie is Caitlin Dever. End of the story.

Hugh Jackman... as Joel.
Sophia Lillis... as Ellie.
&
Norman Reedus... as Tommy. pic.twitter.com/WN5Yg8UyEF- David Mirea (@davidm_logan) March 6, 2020
Hugh Jackman is Joel, Sophia Lillis is Ellie, and Norman Reedus is Tommy.
I would have liked to see Mel Gibson as Joel but he's too old now. Hugh Jackman is the best option, somewhere between Prisoners and Logan it's the best Joel. They need to hurry tho #TLOU

I'd love to see Mel Gibson as Joel, but he's too old for that. In my opinion, the best choice is Hugh Jackman, in the image of something between his roles in "Logan" and "Captives."
It just occurred to me that people only want Hugh Jackman for TLOU series because he did Logan and that had a little edgy girl in it, he’s not MY JOEL
- Secret Gaygent 💛 (@ secretgaygent69) March 5, 2020
It just dawned on me that everyone wants to see Hugh Jackman in TLOU just because he already played an old man in Logan who fiddles with a little aggressive girl. This is not my Joel!
Another interesting candidate for this role is Nikolai Koster-Waldau.

- lorde's publicist (@meldramas) March 5, 2020
All the fan castes on TLOU are just Hugh Jackman + any white actress with brown hair for the role of Ellie.
However, not everyone takes it so seriously.
In fact, we all know the perfect cast for Tlou https://t.co/qpw1sy2S5jpic.twitter.com/3gWoCYb2dW

Holland in the role of Joel has generally become a kind of meme.
