One of the actresses of the TV series of The Last of Us, Merle Dandridge as Marleneexplained how Bella Ramsey and Pedro Pascal have given a “different touch” to the protagonists of the TV series, Ellie and Joel, compared to what Troy Baker and Ashley Johnson did in the video game.
Recall that in the 2013 game Dandridge lent the voice of Marlene, leader of the Lights, a terrorist organization fighting against the military government, while Troy Baker plays Joel Miller. Early in the game, Marlene tasks Joel with getting Ellie (Ashley Johnson) out of a town. The woman has therefore had first-hand experience with both versions of the characters.
“It was necessary to broaden my acting, because the basic knowledge of the character as a person remains the same, but the way he works, acts and interacts [nella serie TV rispetto al videogioco] might adjust a bit, especially working in front of people who look at these characters through a new lens“Dandridge told Collider.
“Ellie and Joel from Bella and Pedro they have a different look than Ashley and Troy. It has been an absolute privilege to be able to open my eyes, open my spirit and let Marlene experience and breathe them, in a new way. I was able to give her scenarios of her life and her experience that existed only in my imagination, having built her character 10 years ago, and that has been such a pleasure.”
We will be able to see how the characters were brought to the screen on January 16th. For the moment, we know that the opinions and votes of the international press are positive.
