Det var ett bra tag sedan som det stod klart att en film baserad på mästerverket The Last of Us skulle bli av, men sedan dess har vi hört väldigt lite om projektet.
I en intervju med IGN berättade producenten Sam Raimi (Evil Dead, Spider-Man) att produktionen har stannat till och detta på grund av att det råder delade meningar om vad som bör göras med filmen.
"Well, unfortunately that one -- when we went to Neil with Ghost House Pictures we were hoping to get the rights like we do any project and then we'd take it out and sell it but we'd control the rights. With this one he went to Sony -- who I have a very good relationship with -- but they have their own plans for it and I think Neil's plan for it -- I'm not trying to be political -- Neil's plan for it is not the same as Sony's. And because my company doesn't have the rights, I actually can't help him too much. Even though I'm one of the producers on it the way he set it up, he sold his rights to Sony, Sony hired me as a producer by chance, and I can't get the rights free for him so I'm not in the driver's seat and I can't tell you what Sony and Neil together will decide on. If they do move forward I'd love to help them again."
Det ser alltså ut som att The Last of Us-filmen inte kommer bli av än på ett bra tag. Kanske är det lika bra om det inte händer alls, då spelfilmer sällan lever upp till förlagan. Vad tycker du?
