Horror 'The Last of Us' HBO Series

[Drizzle]

You talking about right out of the video game casting . This kid looks just like Jesse in the game. I want to see who they cast as Dina next. That is one ride or die chick.

So far I'm liking this casting news which is important since the supporting cast of TLOU Part 2 plays a much bigger part of the narrative than in Part 1. I'm interested to see who they get for Dina, Owen and Lev. Also, I'm calling it now:

Spoiler: TLOU Part II Game Character Spoilers

They're going to get Jeffrey Wright to reprise his role of Isaac for the few episodes he'll appear in just like Merle Dandridge reprised Marlene in S1

Spoiler

It's perfect too because he's worked with HBO before with Westworld.

It's all connected.

Great news on the Dever casting, I only discovered her last year and she is a really good actress.

In terms of her physique, they could film Abby flashback and ending scenes first where she wasn’t so big. Gives Dever more gym time then.

 

[DCDAVE]

Dever is outside the box casting for Abby but also kinda perfect casting for Abby. Part of me wishes they'd found an actress closer to the physique of the game character in part just for diversity of body types but Dever's vibe is just right. I feel like she'll be able to capture both the nastiness and surprising underlining softness that Abby has.

One of the underrated best part of the game was Abby and Liv relationship. I began to like Abby when they began looking for the Fire Flies. Just a heart breaking game from both Elle and Abby’s point of view. Probably the best video game storyline ever.

He has a good relationship with HBO but isn’t he getting ready for a certain superhero movie that is rumored to start production over the summer.

His role in Part II was small, plus considering Jim Gordon isn't the main character he could conceivably work both into his schedule.

Feel like they heard my whining about season 1 and have cast season 2 just for one dork on a message board to finish season 1 and keep watching. Mission succeeded.

 

[Luigi]

Noice.

Interesting choice for Dina. Merced has been blowing up lately between this, Superman Legacy and Madame Web. The only thing I've seen her in was Transformers 5.

 

[Kane52630]

I like the pick but also I always assumed she was Mediterranean Jewish but I guess they're changing it a bit like with Pedro.

 

[Iceman]

Ah I missed all this TLOU casting, awesome!! I look forward to things getting more complex and desperate in season 2.

 

[OrbOfConfusion]

So not the woman who people thought was Dina making a cameo in Season 1?

 

[Sawyer]

Did this person miss the first season where, of all characters, only one was played by the same actor as the game?

 

[DCDAVE]

Wow. Dina is also Hawk girl. She is also in Madam Web. Hopefully they just do the first half of the 2nd game. Let’s see Elle develop her friendships with Jesse and Dina.

That anyone would think Woodward could play Dina in the show is silly, but on the flip side of that I'd be disappointed if they didn't give her a cameo/small supporting role in the show similar to Ashley Johnson and Troy Baker in the first season.

Merced is having quite a year. I haven’t seen her in anything but she must be good to be nabbing these high profile roles.

The one movie I saw her in was Transformers 5 but honestly I can't remember a damn thing she did in that movie other than Mark Wahlberg giving her a racist nickname. She stood out to me more in the trailer for the Dora the Explorer movie she was in.

You just know Mark Wahlberg loved giving her a racist nickname. It was probably his idea.

I'm sure Bay egged him on too.

Just realized that she's in the new Alien film too.

I don’t want to get ahead of myself but it appears they are only doing the first half of the second game in season 2 if you go by the casting announcements and the filming location. It appears they will mostly be in Jackson. I pray they really get into the background on the new characters of Jackson.
