Reply to comment by I_Like_Grills in HBO’s “The Last of Us” Character Posters Reveal Nick Offerman, Storm Reid and More by MarvelsGrantMan136

No idea how true this is but rumors were Troy will be >!David!< and Ashley will be >!Ellie's Mom!<. Again those were just random internet rumors so who knows.

The longer HBO stays silent on >!David!< the more convinced I become that Troy Baker's playing him.

There's no way they'd keep such a high-profile casting a secret if they got a "normal" actor for him. Every other major character from the game has been announced ages ago.

Have they said if Season 1 will cover the entirety of LoU1? I could see >!David!< being saved mostly for season 2.

Never did the left behind stuff so I'm down for that.

At 1:15 in this trailer there's two shots of Joel grabbing Ellie's face which to me are pretty clearly from the end of the Winter segment. Although they're outside instead of in the building.

If that is from Winter, then I don't see why they wouldn't cover the whole game in season 1. That's basically the end of the game.

I don't think filming time has anything to do with the length of time covered in the show. It took a year because it's the first season of a big budget 10 episode TV show.

The game has 4 segments set in different seasons of the year. The shooting schedule was spread out to match that. It’s definitely the whole thing.

Craig Mazin (show runner) has definitely confirmed that the first season is a full adaption of Part I. However, the shooting all year thing isn’t actually a great piece of evidence of that btw. Shows and movies commonly shoot in different seasons than what the scene calls for. You’d be surprised how well a good set crew can do to make any season plausible on-screen, no matter what really is happening outside.

Most of the info about the filming has shown a pretty close match to the timing in the game. And I’d be very surprised by a crew making a different season look right on screen since it would a major first. Apparently some early snow came while filming the Autumn stuff, so I’ll be curious to see how they handled that.
