The Last of Us is one of the few franchises that has made picking a PlayStation over Microsoft’s Xbox worth it in the last decade. The first installment of the series was released back in 2013, and since then has received a sequel as well as a live-action remake owing to its ever-growing popularity.
A still from The Last of Us: Part 2
The sequel to the game was received well by the audience, as it delivered a well-deserved continuation to the storyline every single fan had been waiting for ever since the first title came out. However, Neil Druckmann, the executive producer of the game, has revealed how the TLoU Part 2 had a much darker ending, which would easily make every player riot as it is what everybody wanted all along.

David Hemingson’s The Holdovers at Focus Features won original screenplay and Cord Jefferson’s Oscar-winning American Fiction from Amazon MGM Studios took adapted honours at the strike-delayed Writers Guild Awards on Sunday.
This was a second major adapted screenplay award in relatively short order for Jefferson after last month’s Oscar win.
The Holdovers prevailed in an original screenplay category that included Barbie and May December, but not the Oscar winner Anatomy Of A Fall, rendered ineligible here because it was not produced under a Writers Guild of America (WGA) contract.
The best documentary screenplay award went to Errol Morris for The Pigeon Tunnel.

With the 2024 Oscars and the 2023 Emmys firmly in the rearview mirror, the film and TV awards calendar is all but ready to return to normalcy after last years Writers Guild of America and SAG-AFTRA strikes disrupted the first half of award season. The last major event to be impacted by the altered schedule is today’s WGA Awards, which took place in an unusual post-Oscars slot after the strikes forced the guild to delay its voting process. As most of Hollywood looks ahead to the 2024 film and TV slate, today’s concurrent ceremonies in Los Angeles’ Hollywood Palladium and New York City’s Edison Ballroom gave award watchers one last chance to celebrate the best screenwriting of 2023.
David Hemingson’s “The Holdovers” won the night’s marquee award for Original Screenplay, beating out heavyweights including Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach’s “Barbie” and Celine Song’s “Past Lives.” In the Adapted Screenplay category,...

The David Hemingson-scripted Alexander Payne dramedy The Holdovers and Cord Jefferson’s American Fiction were the big film winners at the strike-delayed 2024 Writers Guild Awards, which were handed out Sunday in Los Angeles and New York.
Jefferson — who also was honored with the WGA West’s Paul Selvin Award — followed his Oscar win for Adapted Screenplay as the WGA’s weird, wild and elongated Awards season wrapped with simultaneous ceremonies on both coasts. Hemingson scored a modicum of revenge for losing the Original Screenplay Academy Award to Justine Triet and Arthur Harari for Anatomy of a Fall.
The latter script, however, wasn’t eligible for a Writers Guild Award. That’s because, unlike other guilds, the WGA deems ineligible any scripts for movies not produced under its Minimum Basic Agreement or a bona fide collective bargaining agreement with various affiliated countries.
Later, the Documentary prize went to Errol Morris...

The strike-delayed nominations for the 2024 Writers Guild Awards are out. Check out the list below.
In a flipping of the script this season, the WGA Awards will be held on April 14 – more than a month after the Academy Awards.
As always, the Writers Guild of America has different eligibility requirements than the Movie Academy, so some awards-season favorite scripts are missing from today’s nominations.

The nominees for the 2024 Writers Guild of America Awards are finally here.
The Writers Guild of America West (Wgaw) and Writers Guild of America East (Wgae) have announced nominations for outstanding achievement in screenwriting, television, new media, news, radio/audio, and promotional writing for 2023.
Oscar-nominated screenplays for “Barbie,” “The Holdovers,” “May December,” “Past Lives,” “American Fiction,” “Killers of the Flower Moon,” and “Oppenheimer” were expected WGA nominations. However, surprise nods for “Air,” “Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret,” and “Nyad” prove the WGA Awards still have a few tricks up their sleeve. If you’re wondering, “Poor Things” was not eligible because it wasn’t produced under a WGA contract, per a source close to the project.
Despite now taking place one month after the Academy Awards, the WGA nominations still carry weight this season — and could be a deciding factor for final Oscar voting. As IndieWire’s Anne Thompson predicted,...

The new version of The Last Of Us Part II for PS5 boasts DualSense support, updated graphics and a new survival mode.
It seems like only yesterday that The Last of Us Part II was released in the dying days of the PS4, but now the game is being reworked for the PS5.
The Last Of Us Part II: Remastered was announced in a post on the PlayStation Blog, although the news would have been of little surprise to people who keenly follow games industry gossip. Rumours of a remaster began swirling back in July after the game’s composer alluded to new editions of the title being in the works in a video interview with Blender, and various other leaks have pointed to a remaster since then.

Part 2 of two-part interview with The Last Of Us creator Craig Mazin about series’ 24 Emmy nominations, the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes and Season 2 of the hit HBO series.
HBO’s Emmy-nominated The Last Of Us was renewed in January, shortly after the adaptation of the popular PlayStation video game premiered, quickly becoming a pop culture phenom. By May 1, when the writers strike began and script work was put on hold, the new season had already taken shape, The Last of Us co-creator/executive producer Craig Mazin told Deadline in an interview tied to the series’ big showing on Emmy nominations day, confirming the new writers who had joined him and fellow co-creator/EP, the game’s Neil Druckmann, for Season 2.

All he needs is a shot of penicillin and this guy is like Popeye the Sailor Man with a can of spinach.

This post contains spoilers for the first season of "The Last of Us" so far.
Now that it's here, "The Last of Us" seems to be going by all too quickly. The highly-anticipated adaptation of the award-winning Naughty Dog video game is four episodes into its nine-episode first season, and it's quickly burned through a large chunk of the first game's plot. The show has already taken some meaningful detours, like last week's beautiful, shattering reimagining of Frank (Murray Bartlett) and Bill's (Nick Offerman) relationship, but it's mostly moved along at a brisk pace that's stayed true to the heart-pounding game on which it's based.
In a cutscene compilation of the "Last of Us" video game, we'd be nearly halfway through the first game by now, with the introduction of Henry (Lamar Johnson) and Sam (Keivonn Woodard) coming around the midpoint of the story. There's still plenty of heartbreak (and hope!

Now, as far as we can tell, there are seven major reasons everyone should be discussing HBO’s twisty drama after Episode 7. No, they don’t all revolve around the massive reveal that Bernard is a robot under Dr. Ford’s control. But not all of them are good reasons, either.

“Westworld” keeps surprising viewers with new twists and turns. Last week’s episode finally introduced audiences to Tessa Thompson’s character, Charlotte, the Delos board representative who has plans of her own on how to oversee certain transitions. Maeve (Thandie Newton) also got some new adjustments to her personality and at the end of the episode, we were all left wondering what happened to Elsie (Shannon Woodward).
Sunday’s episode, titled “Trompe L’Oeil,” will hopefully give us more insight on all these new developments. While we wait for the latest episode, HBO released new images to keep us guessing.

We’ve officially reached the halfway mark on HBO’s thrilling new series “Westworld” and things are getting even more compelling inside the Western themed amusement park.
Last week’s episode had Dolores (Evan Rachel Wood) experience a new awakening, as well as revealed that someone was broadcasting satellite data out of the park. What was probably one of the most enticing moments was when Maeve (Thandie Newton) once again woke herself up while she was getting fixed. In anticipation of episode 6, HBO released six new images to give viewers some insight on what’s to come.

Banshee, Season 3: Episode 2 – “Snakes and Whatnot”
Written by Halley Gross
Directed by Loni Peristere
Airs Friday nights at 10 on Cinemax
If last week’s season three premiere suggested the importance of legacy in Banshee, “Snakes and Whatnot” is the companion piece that shows how one’s legacy can be controlled by perception. It’s said that history is written by the victors, and several characters here–Rebecca, Chayton and Nola chief among them–want to make sure that they’re both taken seriously and come out on top.
Nola’s naturally callous demeanor, while one of her most entertaining qualities from a viewer’s perspective, made it hard to gauge how much she cared about her brother Alex. She was there offering curt advice when he was slipping up, but her return to Banshee shows how deep sibling love goes and how it’s easy to be taken for granted.
