After the first audition, I was asked if I played The Last of Us, I said no. And they tell me: “Well, don’t play yet.”

Nevertheless, Bella watched gameplay videos and cutscenes to understand the essence of the game and the content.

Because of this, disputes broke out on the Internet: some believe that this will allow the actress to avoid imitating Ashley Johnson, who voiced the heroine, while others are sure that without knowing the essence of Bella, she will not be able to convey all the emotions that her heroine lived in the game. Supporters of the second opinion reminded that Pedro Pascal is also not familiar with the original source and this could be a failure for the show.

A few quotes:

She just killed all my faith in the show!

It would be better if she didn’t say that. A cast not familiar with the game, my God.

She doesn’t seem to know who Ellie is. This is a serious mistake for HBO.

Naturally, there was another criticism of the actress’s appearance, HBO’s casting decisions and the participation of Neil Druckmann in the work on the show along with Craig Mazin.

But if so, why is the trailer so similar to the original? What will be the show itself, we will find out in 2023. It will debut on HBO Max and there is a chance that it will reach us in Russian streaming through Amediateka.
