‘The Last Of Us’ Stars Pedro Pascal And Bella Ramsey On The Fame And Attention That Comes Along With The End Of The World

Readers of the Manchester Evening News have had their say on the growth of the city following the launch of an artistic project designed to act as a cautionary tale for the future.

The cast of The Last of Us might have looked very different.

The Hunger Games movies, adapted from Suzanne Collins‘ dystopian novels, have become one of the most beloved and successful big-screen renditions of young adult fiction in history.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director In the upcoming comedy “No Hard Feelings,” Jennifer Lawrence plays a down-on-her-luck Uber driver who accepts a job trying to seduce a 19-year-old whose helicopter parents don’t want him heading off to college as a virgin. The task of playing the Oscar winner’s male lead in a raunchy R-rated comedy fell to Andrew Barth Feldman, best known until now for his stint on Broadway in “Dear Evan Hanson.” Feldman was already a student at Harvard University when the offer to join Lawrence in “No Hard Feelings” was made. “I mean, when Andrew left his audition, the door closed and we all looked at each other and we were like, ‘That’s our — that’s Percy,”” Lawrence recently told Entertainment Tonight. “Then they were like there’s one complication, he’s supposed to go to Harvard, and we were like, ‘Is that a joke?’ He was fully the character, so I called him and said, ‘Andrew, I have really bad news you’re not gonna be able to finish your semester at Harvard.’ He’s gonna have to defer, or whatever college school words are.”

Jem Aswad Executive Editor, Music It is an interesting time to be Abel Tesfaye, a.k.a. the Weeknd. Last summer, he was criss-crossing North America on his “After Hours Til Dawn” stadium tour while simultaneously doing reshoots for his HBO series, “The Idol.” This summer, he’s watching the reactions to the deeply controversial show while criss-crossing Europe on the second leg of the tour, which will move to Latin America and Asia into next year. He’s also doing press for the Emmy campaign for his HBO concert documentary released earlier this year, “The Weeknd: Live at SoFi Stadium.” All the while, he’s been recording, as he always is. Despite, and because of, the polarized reactions to the first episodes of “The Idol,” the show has scored big ratings and even bigger conversation.

Selome Hailu Water. Earth. Fire. Air. Long ago, Nickelodeon aired a hit animated adventure series called “Avatar: The Last Airbender.” Then, everything changed when Netflix began working on a live-action adaptation. Netflix has debuted the first teaser for its version of “Avatar: The Last Airbender,” which confirms for the first time that the series is set to debut in 2024. The streamer also shared first look at Gordon Cormier as Aang, Kiawentiio as Katara, Ian Ousley as Sokka and Dallas Liu as Zuko.Meet Aang, Katara, Sokka and Zuko in Netflix’s Avatar: The Last Airbender, coming 2024. #TUDUM pic.twitter.com/b7TKxo9pKC The short teaser also features new versions of imagery from the original series. The emblems of the Water Tribe, Earth Kingdom, Fire Nation and Air Nomads are shown etched into different terrains, cast in shadows as each nation’s respective element swirls around the rocks. At the end, following a piece of music reminiscent of the original, the series title and 2024 debut date are shown painted onto a piece of fabric that has been scorched — presumably by the Fire Nation, which is approaching world domination as the series begins.

The Last of Us started as a video game, became a hit TV series and is about to become not one but two live attractions: Universal Studios’ Halloween Horror Nights will open Last of Us haunted houses at Universal Orlando Resort and Universal Studios Hollywood in September.

While the onscreen travails of Joel and Ellie take center stage in The Last of Us, as they did in the videogame, for Neil Druckmann and Craig Mazin, the translation to television afforded an opportunity to delve deeper into the larger struggle of survivors of the pandemic. The show’s third episode “Long, Long Time” expands the game’s story of survivalist Bill (Nick Offerman), who turns his hometown into an infected-proof compound, and who seems content to survive on his own. That is, until Frank (Murray Bartlett) gets stuck in one of Bill’s traps, and the pair fall delicately, and movingly, in love with one another.
