HBO?s The Last of Us series is set to get underway soon, and the series has found a new director for the pilot after Chernobyl?s Johan Renck was forced to drop out due to scheduling conflicts. Kantemir Balagov, a Russian filmmaker renowned for his work on the award-winning drama, Beanpole, is set to direct The Last of Us? pilot. It appears this is the ?modest? announcement that we reported on this morning.
Tying Balagov to the project shows a desire for a strong somber and serious tone for The Last of Us. Balagov?s work is in centered in dark and heavy dramas. Bringing that together with Chernobyl?s heavy drama and Druckmann?s original vision for the game all but ensures HBO?s The Last of Us will play a heavy focus on the emotional drama within its narrative.
