🧵If any source material had the potential to break the video game curse it was #TheLastOfUs

Still, the fact that @Neil_Druckmann and @clmazin seem to have actually delivered a thoughtful, compelling TV adaptation of a video game is astonishing. wired.trib.al/AoNT09K

It would be wrong to say that video game adaptations haven’t improved since the 90s. But while movies like Detective Pikachu and Werewolves Within entertain, they’re not considered prestigious, and a widespread perception persists that Hollywood just does not get games. 2/13
Previous video game adaptations, largely attempts by non-gamers, have delivered “projects that can feel inauthentic to the game-playing audience and be downright confusing to the non-gaming viewer,” says Casey Baltes, head of interactive programming for the Tribeca Festival. 3/13

Pedro Pascal has already ascended into stardom by playing dark and conflicted saviors in shows like The Mandalorian. But his upcoming role in #TheLastofUs puts him on the cusp of a different kind of fame—the kind that turns actors into icons: wired.com/story/pedro-pa…📸@yopeteryang
But the man behind the tortured and distant heroes he plays isn’t that—he’s a joker, and the internet will be pleased to know, a hugger. The humility, empathy, and nuance he brings to his roles are central to his own humanity.
“I feel like that's the fun part: how much you get to use your imagination or externalize internal darkness in a safe way and bring things that are from your nightmares," says Pascal.

Allison Williams is the star of the new movie #M3GAN. It’s a killer robot thriller that might also be a movie about Allison Williams herself. 📸: The Tyler Twins wired.trib.al/xrhucVP 1/7
With an English degree from Yale, Williams is no stranger to elaborate ideas like the metaverse, strategy, and thinking outside the box—making her a natural fit for the role of #M3GAN’s Gemma, an AI genius. 2/7
“I couldn’t resist an ambiguous creator figure,” says Williams, who sees in #M3GAN a family resemblance to one of her favorite books, Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. The chance to toy with viewers entices her and draws her back to horror. 3/7
