The Last of Us Creator Neil Druckmann Will Serve as Director on HBO TV Series

NeoGAFs Kent Brockman

Mentioned in a new document from DGC (Directors Guild of Canada), Druckmann was mentioned as a director for The Last of Us. While specifics regarding how many episodes he might direct weren't given, his name was mentioned alongside Craig Mazin, Peter Hoar, Kantemir Balagov, and Jasmila Zbanic as some of the other directors that will be rotating in throughout the course of the series. Production as a whole is said to have also started in July of this year (which we knew), while filming is said to be wrapping up by June 2022.

Good for him. He will be great.

But I worry what this means for Naughty Dog if he is the creative lead on their next game. HBO will clearly take priority and if hes out for months prepping then shooting an episode then who is going to be running the show over at ND?

Let new blood run the studio for a while. Neil needs to take a break and shift to tv shows.

Neil Cuckman. Honestly. After Amy Henning got forced out by Neil and Bruce Straley left, the story went doo doo. I miss the original writers :/
Just listen to the TGMN episode with Amy. Very insightful. You listen to it and in the end you get an epiphany of sorts.

It only makes sense; he's technically directed it once already, so it makes sense to have him direct aspects of it again.

Great now he is finally at the place where he wanted to be.

No more interactive movies, he has now the real deal. Good for him.
