This whole explosion of new video game movies in production, mostly backed by Sony, is strange, and worrisome.

From the moment I heard that a film version of The Last of Us was in production, it just sounded so pointless to me. The game was already so cinematic, a movie based on such a game seems like a pretty moot endeavor, even more so when, from the sound of it, they don't want to change anything about the plot.

This is all coming from someone who's a pretty big fan of the game, by the way. Nothing about this excites me.
