While talking to Game Informer (via Gamespot) this week, The Last of Us game director Neil Druckmann has been talking about the progress of the film, and that the second draft of the script (which he has written himself) has been finished.
While talking to the site, Druckmann said that the script, while being faithful to the game, will have a few changes before it makes its way to the silver screen.
“(It’s) pretty faithful to the game. There are some big changes, but the tone and what the story’s trying to say is pretty faithful to the game.”
Furthermore, Druckmann stated that “a bunch of actors” took part in a table read recently, but we await official confirmation as to who will star. Game of Thrones‘ Maisie Williams has been heavily linked to play Ellie in the film, but as yet hasn’t been confirmed.
Druckmann is also currently working on Naughty Dog’s Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End, itself set for the big screen treatment under the direction of Seth Gordon (Horrible Bosses) and a script by Mark Boal (The Hurt Locker). The Uncharted feature is set for release in June 2016.
