"YOU HAVE TO DO IT!" Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey on The Last of Us (and watching The Worst Witch)

The cast of The Last of Us sat down to catch up with BBC Radio 1’s film critic Ali Plumb to talk about bringing one of the most iconic video games in recent years to life on TV.
Pedro tells us about his nephews’ not so calm response to finding out he was going to be in the show, Bella talks about trying to get those iconic scenes just right, and show creator Craig Mazin let’s us know how surreal it is bringing a Clicker to life.
Also, Bella and Pedro geek out about The Worst Witch.
The Last of Us is available from 16th January on Sky Atlantic and streaming service NOW.

To take a MOBA game, even with the lore it has, and turn it into that show is pretty much amazing. Arcane appeals to a much more specific audience, but it has gotten pretty high praise almost universally. I would need to see specific examples of why it's overrated to really consider that argument.

Can't wait for the series!

[@Untitled_Novel]

Honestly, I can't picture anyone else being this cast Pedro fit perfectly the moment he was cast, then the rest of them fitted the puzzle and now I can't picture anyone else playing the characters

[@ericbradfordshinoda]

They already like father & daughter..

Just watched it, and why do I have to get the feels from the Beginning again, that part is always heartbreaking. The show is good

[@asi-princess]

Lmao I’m so glad they mentioned the worse witch in this. I feel like her role in that is pretty overlooked and people forget about it. Back when Bella was cast as Ellie, everyone mentioned knowing her from GOT and then there was me who remembered her from Worst Witch which was one of my all time fav shows. And I feel like it’s kinda been forgotten and Bella herself doesn’t mention it much so it’s pretty cool that she talked about it again here

[@idaf3028]

Frfr Mildred hubble is her best role

[@destinyfunk3319]

Bella is stronger than me because if Pedro Pascal had his arm around my chair & staring at me while speaking… I’d die.

you're so real

[@slowburner4448]

They articulated it perfectly showrunners and actors. Filling in tiny holes extending and expanding parts that could've been strained or restricted in 2013 video game story telling, it's a great way to view the story as fan without the exertion of fighting every antagonist on the video game journey. Finally enjoying the story with snacks in one hand and a viewing partner in the other as well as the world because the story felt like a private journey only the gaming community knew.

Pedro pascal is the perfect fit for the role of joel. Both of them are great for the roles. cant wait for more!

[@thatguywholikes1]

Craig Manzin is so into this TV show, he truly loved working on it.

[@ryans413]

After watching the first episode these two killed it in there roles

[@vincentfiore7588]

People are crying that Bella doesn’t look exactly like Ellie but she did great and nailed her attitude that she has in the game

Naughty dog has come a long way. I proud to be a fan since Crash Bandicoot.
