The Last of Us Set Photos Hint At Game-Accurate Sniper Scene

Recent set photos from The Last of Us TV show tease a tense sniper scene straight from the original video game. Based on the award-winning Naughty Dog game of the same name, the upcoming HBO series will center on Joel Miller (Pedro Pascal) as he escorts 14-year-old Ellie (Bella Ramsey) across a post-apocalyptic zombie-infested United States to deliver her to a militant revolutionary faction known as the Fireflies. Although Joel initially had no desire to take on the mission, he soon becomes aware of its importance when Ellie reveals that she may be the key to stopping the zombie infection that has ravaged the world.

Recent photos and videos taken of The Last of Us sets around Canada have revealed the series looks extremely accurate to its source material. Multiple videos show that the Hunters, a violent gang of ruthless survivors that track down and chase Joel and Ellie, have been faithfully replicated from their video game counterparts. A pivotal hospital scene from the end of The Last of Us was previously teased with photos that recreated the final level of the game in striking detail. These new set images continue to reinforce the series' adherence to the original PlayStation video game.

Susan Warcholak (sue_dothingsalways) recently shared photographs of a newly constructed set from The Last of Us that hint at a recreation of a tense sniper scene from the original video game. The level in question had Joel and Ellie, along with local survivor brothers Henry and Sam, trek through the outskirts of Pittsburgh as they attempt to escape the ravaged city and its lawless gang of Hunters. As the group navigates through a suburb, they are held in place by a sniper situated at the end of a cul-de-sac. The player, as Joel, must fight from house to house to reach the sniper and take over his nest. Check out the images of the set below.

The set features a cul-de-sac littered with rundown vehicles in a street overgrown with vegetation and covered in scattered debris. The buildings and walls appear to be façades, indicating that the majority of the scene's action will take place in the street, most likely leading up to the large house centered at the far end. That building will presumably house the sniper, perhaps in the open window facing the street.

Upon The Last of Us' release, the game went on to be loved by audiences and won numerous awards for its storytelling and gameplay. The title was praised for its horror elements and nerve-wracking action sequences, with the sniper scene singled out as one of the game's memorable moments. If the upcoming series can reproduce the suspense and terror the original game inflicted upon its players, then HBO's The Last of Us will undoubtedly have audiences on the edge of their seats.

CBS' Ghosts: Every Main Ghost Time Period & Backstory Explained

One of CBS' newest sitcoms,  Ghosts , features a cast full of spectral characters that each hail from a distinct time period and come with their own unique backstory and death. Though each of the eight ghosts has a wildly different perspective based on their different experiences throughout history, they nonetheless form a sort of family, which is one of the show's greatest charms. After all, being stuck with the same people for all of eternity allows for plenty of time to get to know each other. Ghosts , which is an adaptation of a BBC show of the same name, stars Utkarsh Ambudkar and Rose McIver (who played Liv Moore on five seasons of  iZombie ) as Jay and Sam, a young couple who inherit a mansion in upstate New York. To their surprise, however, the house also comes with several ghostly inhabitants, who Sam is able to see after a near-death experience. These are Thorfinn (Devan Long), Sasappis (Román Zaragoza), Isaac (Brandon Scott Jones), Hetty (Rebecca Wisocky...

The Hateful Eight's Original Ending Explained (& Why Tarantino Changed It)

The Hateful Eight has an ending full of blood and betrayal, as expected from any Quentin Tarantino movie, but this wasn’t the original ending – here’s why he changed it. Tarantino has explored different genres throughout his career; though he’s best known for his crime movies like Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction , he's also visited genres like martial arts (with both Kill Bill  films) and black comedy ( Once Upon a Time in Hollywood ). In addition, he's shared his version of westerns with Django Unchained and The Hateful Eight , with the latter going through some problems and creative changes even before it began shooting. Set in 1870, Tarantino's The  Hateful Eight follows eight strangers, all with different (and secret) motivations, who end up in a stagecoach lodge after seeking refuge from a blizzard. These characters are Major Marquis Warren (Samuel L. Jackson), John “The Hangman” Ruth (Kurt Russell), Daisy Domergue (Jennifer Jason Leigh), Chris Mannix (Walton Gog...

Why Spider-Man 3's Uncle Ben Retcon Doesn't Change Peter's Origin

Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 3 is often criticized for a major retcon made to Uncle Ben’s death , but this retcon ultimately doesn’t change Peter Parker’s classic origin story. Raimi’s third film in the iconic Spider-Man trilogy is often criticized, perhaps unfairly. While the film suffers from too many character arcs and plot threads and would have been better as two or three separate films, it does a more than adequate job adapting the Spider-Man comics and telling a sincere story about relatable, flawed, characters who are intertwined with the extraordinary, just as Stan Lee and Steve Ditko intended when co-creating the character. Uncle Ben’s retconned death may alter classic elements from the comic version, but it retains its most important aspects in regards to Peter’s characterization. 2002’s Spider-Man is, for much of the film’s first half, a faithful adaptation of Spider-Man’s 1962 origin story in issue 15 of the Amazing Fantasy comics. An awkward social pariah, Pete...
