‘The Last of Us’ Stars Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey on Their Post-Apocalyptic Chemistry

- As the launch of highly-anticipated video-game adaptation ‘The Last of Us’ looms, stars Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey talk to Rotten Tomatoes about their bond in the new series. Both are veterans of HBO’s ‘Game of Thrones,’ but did not share scenes in the wildly popular fantasy series. Pascal also stars in Disney+ sci-fi hit ‘The Mandalorian,’ which he admits is a bit of a ‘double-dip’ along with his role as Joel in ‘The Last of Us’ in terms of epic-fantasy casting fortune. Their costars Gabriel Luna (who plays Tommy), Anna Torv (Tess), and Merle Dandridge (Marlene), and series creators Neil Druckmann of game developer Naughty Dog and Craig Mazin (creator of HBO’s acclaimed ‘Chernobyl’) offer even more backstory on creating the network’s next big genre favorite.

Keeping my fangirl in check is the greatest trial of my career. Hope you enjoy another Oscar-winning performance as a normal well adjusted not at all obsessed person. Y'all are gonna really like this show.
I really hope the show is good I got hopes
I rarely watch through a whole interview, especially one this long. Your questions, excitement, and respect to the interviewee was so good I watched it all. Good job!
Beautiful 🤩 interview
You were very professional yet enthusiastic. You’re stronger than me 😂 great interviews!
I'm so excited for the show, but I'm also nervous that I won't enjoy it because I've played through the games numerous times and I'm worried it won't measure up. Your interview here has calmed some of my fears!
Isn’t it so poetic that Ashley who “ gave birth” to Ellie with her performance is literally the mother of Ellie in the tv show
She also looks alot like Ashley when she was younger. Funny how people hated on her because she didn't look like Ellie, but looks very similar to the actual voice actress.
That was my first thought when this was revealed. Awesome idea!
Bella Ramsey isn’t Ashley Johnson’s daughter?
@@Gajada-_- not in real life;))))
Jeez
It’s great that the interviewer is a fan of the game and seems to be thrilled about the way the show turned out. Good sign
Yeah but she is woman. Woman are woke.
@@_JC_21 amen brother 😂😂😂😢😢😢
@@_JC_21 dawg what?
@@_JC_21 the fuc? 😂
@@_JC_21 Don't be a complete idiot. What's the point of following this show if you've already made up your mind?
Finally a well informed and interesting interviewer
Yeah, she asked great questions!
Obviously the best person for the job. She did so well
While I do agree - she's doing a good job all in all - I do have some small pet peeves about her behavior. For example, when she asks a question from Neil, she uses a commanding sentence structure: "Talk about this and that" without saying "could you" for example. I don't understand why she doesn't use a more polite language. She doesn't sound respectful that way and I really feel she should show more respect to the people she's interviewing. I also find it annoying how she occasionally talks about herself instead of trying to represent a wider audience in these conversations.
@@jcp1984again You seem a little mad for no reason. She was absolutely respectful and the very few times she talks about herself is pretty normal in conversation. Weird comments tbh
@@jcp1984again This isn't hard hitting journalism, it's fan centered, pop culture behind the scenes. Relax.
""I get through the first 10 minutes and I'm stunned, and I'm crying, and I don't understand what just happened-" I think we all felt the same way. That opening was just gut-wrenching.
I think that’s the same with part II both games are deep and demanding story wise, I’m looking forward to the 15th and a whole new experience, I don’t have any reservations about the story, it’s the other perspective on the characters that I’m curious about
I personally think the entirety of the show depends on how well they do the Joel and Sarah aspect. In the game it's so emotionally impactful and sets the tone for the rest of it's story. Joel and Ellie's relationship wouldn't mean nearly as much if it weren't for Sarah.
@@Alleggsander since the first episode has come out, I'm curious how well you think they did the Joel and Sarah aspect. Personally, I was even more emotionally shook by the show than I was the game, in that regard.
@@chrismissed I liked how they made you care about Sarah. In the game you get very little time with her actual presence. I need to get someone who has no knowledge of the games to watch it and see if they feel the same way.
easy on coke
Druckmann mentioning Heath Ledger’s interpretation of the Joker nails it, and how the initial outrage in his casting being utterly cast in the shade once Dark Knight came out and people were blown away. Can’t wait to see how this adaptation goes.
A very poor justification! We are not in 2008
@@josuemartinez9688 What does not being in 2008 have anything to do with anything?
@@crimson8183 just another person butthurt Joel died still lol
@@RcKDrUmm3R well yeah? Seemed like everyone was butthurt over that lol
@@RcKDrUmm3R lol of course people are butt hurt over Joel’s death. He was the main character of the first game. You really expect people to happy with the way he dies in the second then they force you to play the character that killed him.
After watching Game of Thrones, Mandalorian, and The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, I have the utmost faith in these two. I don’t need the story to be faithful, I just need the relationship to be genuine…and these two can do it
Narcos was His best role. Dude is crushing the tv landscape
He was pretty good in the equalizer 2 as well.
Pedro Pascal portrayed some great TV characters like: Marcus Pike from The Mentalist (one of his most underrated performances), The Mandalorian, Oberyn Martell, Javier Pena and now Joel. He is slowly becoming one of my favourite actors to watch!
Check out "The Worst Witch" as well
I LOVE this interviewer! She asked insightful question, brought up GREAT observations, and transitioned so seamlessly from one topic to the next.
This is one of the best LoU interviews. First, the interviewer is knowledgeable and enthusiastic with a broader connection between the series and the game than I have. Second, she connects all the actors to a more holistic view! Well, done! I really enjoyed this!
Woah I didn’t realize Gabriel Lunas voice was so rusty southern like Tommy. Incredibly excited for this show
He sounds spot on for tommy
man I heard his voice instantly was like thats tommy.
So fitting 🎉
Excited for his role to be expounded in season 2 ✨✨❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
best interviewer thus far. actually, knows her stuff and asked engaging questions!
Great Interview! Just one addition: The Actors who play Joel and Ellie are not “voice actors” but just “actors” . They are not standing in a studio and reading the lines . They go to a set act with their faces and their body’s and that gets transferred to the game.
It’s just a minor thing but I think it understates the work these people have done. After all no one would call an actor a “Body Performer”
In the case of TLOU it's true. When you watch the different making-offs, you can see how much they were physically and emotionaly involved. I love and trust Bella and Pedro but I'll always consider Ashley and Troy as Ellie and Joel.
@@otterproof1 same
@@otterproof1 for me watching the playthrough with Troy and Nolan on thier CZcams channel, that was the most telling.
Seeing the actors physically and emotionally react years and years after the fact, was not only intense but eye opening.
They are literally voice actors. Suck it
But this is the first time they act in front of camera with costume and all. They were usually stage actors and mostly do voice over works. So it's not wrong.
Hearing Gabriel Luna's voice here for the first time shocked me. I never thought he would sound so similar to Tommy from his looks.
His casting is on-point ❤️❤️❤️
15:20 The emotion in Craig Mazin's eyes, that's it; I'm definitely watching this show.
What a great interview, Jacqueline Coley!
Those two are so very likeable individually, this could be really good just based off that alone. If the chemistry is this good, I'm really excited for this show.
That was a really great interview! I liked hearing that Pedro had watched playthroughs, so he was familiar with the story, that Gabriel had played the game and knew and loved it. But most exciting was learning that Craig had played it and loved it way back when, so he KNEW it. I always believed in him after seeing Chernobyl, but this cemented it for me.
I remember first playing this game as Sarah walking around the house looking for her father, Joel. Slowly being introduced to the chaos outside when Joels opens the basement sliding door. Little did i know the story it would become, and the saga to follow. Amazing game and story. Cant wait!
You transported me back to my first time playing this game so long ago 😭 I cannot wait for this show
Basement????
She looks like she infected
@@Judochop9 yeah it wasn’t a basement it was just a sliding door into the garden the old man ran through the window I’ve played the game well over 100 times on the ps3 ps4 and the ps5 lol I had no life when I got the game on a new system 😂
Neil absolutely nailed why making this game into a show is NOT a terrible or unnecessary thing like a lot of us have said. The fact that, purely by virtue of the medium and the story, you're kinda "stuck" playing as Joel and Ellie and you never get to see much of anything outside of their experiences, but in the show you can go most anywhere is proof alone. It's gonna be fantastic getting to see Ellie's EARLY backstory, to see more of Marlene's story, more of Bill's story, more of David's story (probably my favourite uninfected threat of the whole series, mostly due to the quiet menace Nolan North brought), getting to see so much more of even just that WORLD, it's all going to be great. And the casting that I've seen so far could not be better.
David was indeed scary as hell. Was this just someone's fanfic I read or was he specifically targeting women of any and all ages to r*pe before eating?
@mochiyeosang1908 I don't remember that being spelled out in the game so it might have been fanfic, or it might have been in details I missed on my playthroughs. It wouldn't surprise me, though, because he really did seem extra creepy towards Ellie before she broke his finger
im so excited to see more of that backstory filling up bc I really loved the DLC and comic and the had that poster of American Daughter with a woman who I assume is ellie's mom 😭
Gabriel Luna sounds EXACTLY like tommy, it's terrifying haha
WOW they made Marlene's actress look like a different person on TLOU. She's gorgeous!
the interviewer is really proffesional, what a pleasure to watch
This interviewer was amazing! I loved these interviews. Plus the fact they’ve included the 3 iconic people from the game in the show just makes it feel sort of a full circle. I’m still hesitant about it but I’ll give it a watch!
Craig Mazin talking about Pedro and Bella's chemistry at 14:41... ❤❤
As a FAN of the game, I am so looking forward to this series
I know the creators have created something that honours the game though and doesn’t copy it
Druckman for me is genuinely a great visionary and Mazin also is the same, people should chill
Love the chill vibe between Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey, the perfect choices for Joel and Ellie 👏👏👏👏
Anna Torv is underrated 😭 love her in Mindhunter, but Fringe?? is her iconic era... she brought grounding/compelling performance that works great in genre stuff... need more of her in genre stuff... (looking at you new DC)
She’s gonna be perfect as Tess 🥲
Excellent, excellent interviews! Nice to see an interviewer who knows her material, is an actual fan of the game, and asks such insightful questions in such a polite, uplifting, respectful way. Thank you!
Everybody needs to watch all these interviews with The Last of Us theme playing on repeat in the background
I like how its easier for them to talk about the series giving the fact that the story/plot of the last of us is already made. As for most interviews previewing a show or movie it's very limited.
It seems like the casting was about how the actors SOUND. Some of them don't look very accurate, but they sound just like the characters in the game. I'm shocked how similar Gabriel sounds like Tommy! Even Pedro, Bela and Anna (Merle, obviously) sound like their characters. Awesome!
This interviewer is amazing. Kept me captivated and laughing the whole time. She’s truly a gem. ❤
Prop to the interviewer for being so passionate. Can't wait to record reactions!
I've never heard Pascal's normal speaking voice and I gotta say, he sounds VERY similar to Troy Baker both as himself and as Joel.
Anna Torv also played the main character in the video game Heavenly Sword in 2006. So she’s also from the video game world!🎉🎉
Gabrield Luna is AMAZING. I remember seeing him originally as ghost rider and alwys thought he was WAY too good for TV. He deserves more spotlight. I know he had a couple bigger roles like in Terminator but I really think this is going to be amazing for his career.
I do wish that the MCU brings him back as Robbie Reyes
@@eckoalbino1623 That would be insane. It's def no out of the question. I'd love to see the world of Ghost Rider and Blade co exist. I think It would be a pretty sick combination of anti heroes.
@@azzwoopinXpress And they could properly adapt Midnight Suns in the MCU and bring back Ghost Rider without rebooting him as much. Maybe Robbie Reyes may get some sort of soft reboot once he is integrated into the MCU
I love that the interviewer mentions the sort of uncanny valley effect since the actors, especially of Ellie and Joel don't look like the faces we're used to. Its true.
Still I am sure the series will be different yet a good interpretation of the game.
So glad when I saw these two in the show. I went in blind and was very happily surprised, looking forward to seeing future episodes.
Personally my main catalyst for knowing if this will be perfect is if the Sara scene can bring me to tears as well as the first scene does because I cry every time I see that scene if the show doesn't make us feel that sad and uncomfortable and hurt then idk
If the show nails that secne then the show will be off and running
no matter how many times I see that scene, it makes me teary. it sets the entire game's emotional narrative in motion. it is one of the most important scenes in the entire story. I'd say that, the scene where Ellie runs off after they find Tommy, the part where Joel almost dies and comes to save Ellie, and the giraffe scene are the most important things they have to nail to really develop this relationship.
@@leoalper4530 I agree but for me that's the most important scene
The Sara scene in the game also gets more powerful because the player has actually controlled her and has connected to her on a deeper level, than if she had just been a character important to Joel.
For the show to replicate that, it will be important to have scenes with Sara on her own early on in the episode(s), so we get to bond with her as a living, breathing person, not just Joel's daughter.
Have to agree. That scene.... it broke me, in ways that very few moments in any form or media ever has.
I'm also very curious on how they handle Tess and her.... moment.
If they get that right, the show will succeed.
I really appreciate that they aren't trying to replicate the connections felt in the game because they can acknowledge that it's a different medium; I feel like that'll help them make the most of this new retelling of the story
Such a great interview! Awesome questions and follow ups and great insight from the actors and directors 👏🏽
thats dope that gabriel luna played and knows the game too
That guy Is Just too Dope
it’s crazy how much he sounds like Tommy
@@lilbubblegumleaks8104 it's the Texan accent, for sure
@@JorbyTinky some parts of Texan have the accent but a lot of Texas doesn’t have the accent
7:23 So I take it we are actually going to finally find out what happened to Anna and the circumstances surrounding her death. It’s been hinted at since American Dreams that there was a big reason for her death, “just know that she gave up *everything* to save *you”.*
Just watched the first episode! So intense, sad, and gripping! I absolutely can't wait for the 2nd episode. I kind of wish the show just released all 9 episodes so I can binge watch all of them but at the same time I am kind of happy that they decided to release it once a week, the anticipation grows even more and that what I always loved about shows that release an episode once a week, makes you appreciate the show even more in the long run and gives you some time to breathe and take it all in.
After having watched the show, it's always jarring to hear them speak in their actual accents. Not just Bella, obviously, but also Pedro.
But wow, their performances are phenomenal!
wow this was such a fun and exciting watch. craig is such a bubbly cutie. great job by the interviewer asking really wonderful and engaging questions. i have never been more excited for a show in my LIFE.
I was like: "No girl can replace my Ellie."
As soon as I know she was Mormont girl lord: "bEnT tHe KnEe"
Same story here lol
Finally an interviewer with taste and knowledge of her industry and passions
You are a phenomenal interviewer! What a treat. Thanks!
Great Interview, cannot wait to see the show! Love both TLOU games, voice actors, hope I will love tv show also :)
2:10 cracked me up 😂 “hey what’s up?”
For a massive fan of the game like me, im so relieved that everything waited untill Neil had the right partner (meaning craig) to bring this story to live action. I know they talked about a movie back when they did one night live and then it didnt happen. Im so happy they waited for the right people and the right time to do this right.
Cheers to you Gabriel🤘🤘🤘 fellow Austin native here!!!
“ Refused the Call “ I use her line all the time
From Ghost Rider to the Rev-9 and now Tommy, a former Firefly. Good to see Gabriel in more projects. 👏🏽
I’m so ready for this series.
The show and game are both so cinematically beautiful. The show has captured the game incredibly. ♥️
She is going to be an amazing ellie!
I hope this show gets renewed - so we can see what Joel and Ellie were doing between the 1st and 2nd game. This franchise is awesome!
Brilliant interviewer. Disarming and charming
This game makes me cry every time
Please more of this interviewer 😍
this is a wonderful interview series!!! good host!
I so hope we get to see more of Ellie's life before leading to the events of the game. Same goes for Tess and Joel.
Can't wait to cry every sunday. Its gonna be amazing :'D
A+ interviewer
Great interview of the show peeps. Bella and Pedro are so cute together! Bella is adorable. I was never a naysayer about the casting but not sure why anyone would complain. I can totally see Ellie in Bella. Also, it's good to see the comment section is not a sh**show for once. I cannot contain my excitement about this show.
What maybe helped in the immediately connection during the making is because both are GoT alumni. Basically, they are family. 😊
Can't wait to watch it, looks brilliant 👏🏻 huge fan of the games right from the beginning on PS3.
So excited Anna Torv is in this, she's brilliant.
I feel like Pedro is constantly looking at Bella thinking she is gonna slip-up and cuss! he say's she curses so naturally off and on set. They have such great chemistry and it so obvious they love each other. As a huge fan of the games, I have heard and seen enough to make the outrageous claim that this is gonna be better. 1 week to go!
The clickers were terrifying in the game, can’t wait to see them in the show! First episode was amazing.
Great Interview!
I was concerned early on about casting and whether all the characters will be done justice, but it's looking better and better the more I see. The environment, practical effects, etc. The voices they've shown so far are amazing. Just one thing...the vines on those cars, what happened there? 🤔😅
This show is gonna win tons of awards! Bc it has the source along the way of respecting…the source.
love this interviewer! They did a great job :D
Ashley Johnson is playing Ellies mum??? I'm not crying you are.
I cannot wait for this show
Great interview!
they look brilliant! can't wait to watch the series
One of the few new shows we’re looking forward to.
What a wonderful interviewer, I'm a fan
GOAT game, if the show is half as good, it will be great
The call for extra’s on the show had to be extraordinary. The opportunity to play a Clicker or any of the infected for that matter, a chance of a lifetime.
Can’t wait for ep 2.
Very excited to see more of Tommy! bring on episode 3. Well maybe if you know the games ..a bit longer.
This is my favorite story-driven game. Im excited and hope the show will be great :)
Pedro worked with Johnny Blaze last year and Robbie Reyes this year!
This is the first time I have heard Pedro Pascal speak as Pedro Pascal .
Great interview, my biggest concern is music... if they play a single song, or have anything like that, it will ruin it. I truly hope that the music as limited as it was it on point, and that the scenes that we know, love and hate to experience again are on point.
The music and lack of made the experience, hope it is the same
Seems like a very bright and promising youg lady. Looking forward to watching the show.
What amazes me as a child of the 80s is how my favorite song of basically any era "Take On Me" got into my later favorite ever video game "LOU". Then my hands down pick for best series ever "Game Of Thrones" has two of it's best characters, become Joel & Ellie. It's like decades apart all my favorite entertainment had a love child, By the way their version of "Take On Me" is a stand-alone work of art in its own right and adds to the emotions in the series so intrinsically no other song could have done it. 100% bullseye on everything in my book.
I’m so hopeful for this show… easily the most impactful game I’ve ever played and some of my favourite actors from video game AND screen!!! Fingers crossed friends
Indeed
Pedro is my new crush ❤. He's just so handsome 😍
*We're in for a treat with this one, fellow TLOU fans!* Looking forward to hearing the soundtrack by Gustavo Santaolalla, and any changes that may have been done to it for this🤩
I love this, The Last of Us game and tv-show are masterpieces! 😊❤
Olivia from Fringe is Tess ? Loved that show !
I cant f'n wait!!!!!
"YOU DONT KNOW WHAT LOSS IS!"
"You are walking on mighty thin ice"
I sure as hell ain’t your dad.😊
I can't wait to watch it
Gabriel Luna plays EXACTLY like Tommy. If you close your eyes and listent to him you can see Tommy. It's crazy. Everyone prasing Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey (and for a good reason) but i think Gabriel Luna nails it as Tommy.
I have this handbag too and have only used it a few times
Best show I’ve seen in a long time
YES YES YES YES YES!!!!!!!!!
She’s a phenomenal interviewer
