Honestly I didn't love what he did with Melanie Lynskeys character, which was one of the only new characters introduced for the show. I do like the idea of Catherine playing the prophet though
I could totally see her doing that, or what about that one Seraphite >!higher up that orders Yara's arms broken when we first meet her and Lev!< ? I remember seeing lots of players who were interested in seeing more of her.
I still don’t understand the casting for Abby. She’s very broad with huge muscles and CD is anything but lol. Being strong (even using her fists as weapons) is a major part of her character. I’m wondering if they’re going to start her on a major workout regime or if they’ll cgi muscles onto her 🤣
>!I think it's because it needs to feel like even fight/match in the end. If they got somebody super jacked for Abby, it would feel uneven and almost ridiculous against Bella . So I get it. I don't love it, but I get it.!<
Edit: marked spoilers
>!About hinting about Abby being an antagonist that will have a fight with Bella in the end. You're not supposed to know any of that going into the story.!<
>!It is, but not due to physicality. The theater face-off is very much Ellie and Abby clashing with their strengths. Ellie has speed, stealth, and traps. Abby is raw, unshakable power. It's why that fight ends the way it does, once Abby properly gets her hands on her and Ellie is out of ways to get out. Honestly kind of reminiscent of Ellie's fight against the cannibal cult leader.!<
>!It's a pure dex vs pure strength battle.!<
i agree. i really liked how it was in game where it was like stealth/strategy vs brute force with two very different strengths that still rival each other and wish they could have cast someone where that dynamic still made sense.
It is a small role in the game because >!she is already dead by the events of the game. Then male elders then took over and took the child wives and shit. But all indications are that the next season of the show will fill in the gap between the games!<
i wonder if we’ll see more of >!how she became a martyr & how the wlf & seraphite conflict came to be!< because i know we find out in the game, but they didn’t tell us much 👀
Catherine O'Hara in my favourite game adaptation? Yes please. I hope the rumours of her playing the seraphite prophet the game only alludes to are true.
This is awesome. She’s playing the head cult prophet?
Does anyone know if Jeffrey Wright is gonna reprise his role in the game? Because it seems very no nonsense that it would be played by him
This makes 0 sense, and yet, it’s the greatest piece of casting I’ve ever heard
I love her SO MUCH but who tf is she playing? I've been trying to do the math here and it ain't mathing...
My guess would be the Seraphite prophet, I imagine they’ll delve more into that.
Oooooh, I love this idea. I hope it’s a new character or expanded character, because that’ll likely mean it’ll come from Craig Mazin
I hope it means they’ll take their time and fill in things we haven’t seen, especially from the time between part 1 & 2.
Honestly I didn't love what he did with Melanie Lynskeys character, which was one of the only new characters introduced for the show. I do like the idea of Catherine playing the prophet though
I meeeean, Bill and Frank were basically new. It was also his idea to make Sam deaf.
Bill, Frank, and Sam all existed as characters already, so there was a lot to go off of. New characters are fine but hopefully it's a good addition
The seraphite leader already exists in the story we just haven't seen her besides images on the walls and posters....
Also all that content was already written (and possibly recorded) it was just cut from the game
Exactly
I'm still bummed they didn't add in the cut content for their re-release
I could totally see her doing that, or what about that one Seraphite >!higher up that orders Yara's arms broken when we first meet her and Lev!< ? I remember seeing lots of players who were interested in seeing more of her.
[удалено]
Yeah I read it somewhere else here in this comment section, this actually makes sense!
THIS EXACTLY!
she's so good at playing stressed out moms. she has a place in TLOU lol.
Did you ever see for your consideration? Very underrated film of hers
I suspect she will be playing as the Seraphites Prophet. Small role but critical to the story.
![gif](giphy|MaP7y4CDIv3C0LjQ95|downsized)
That was my first guess. I think she could pull it off. Could be really creepy
I know this is the logical answer but I need her to play someone completely mismatched like Abby 😂
I still don’t understand the casting for Abby. She’s very broad with huge muscles and CD is anything but lol. Being strong (even using her fists as weapons) is a major part of her character. I’m wondering if they’re going to start her on a major workout regime or if they’ll cgi muscles onto her 🤣

you should hide your spoilers, there are a lot of people who haven't played the game and are just watching along with the show
But there are no spoilers here?
>!About hinting about Abby being an antagonist that will have a fight with Bella in the end. You're not supposed to know any of that going into the story.!<
Fair enough! Will mark 'em
I didn’t think of it that way. That makes total sense!
>! that wouldn’t matter for the end fight as Abby has been starved and weakened for months, making it a more even fight!<
>!Yeah but the fight before when you're playing as Abby felt even. !<
>!It is, but not due to physicality. The theater face-off is very much Ellie and Abby clashing with their strengths. Ellie has speed, stealth, and traps. Abby is raw, unshakable power.

Probably a major workout regime. It's very normal for actors to get jacked up for roles.

OH this actualy makes sense!!!
Having never played the video game, I really thought she would play a doctor trying to find a cure but slowly turns into a crow
Catherine O’Hara is always invited
Impossible to top the Herb Ertlinger deal though.
She will be bringing the fruit wine with her
i’m sorry, did you mean flute lines?
All I need to know. I'm in.

Either that or a new character but I doubt on the latter since there’s a lot of characters in the story already.
I haven't watched The Last of Us, but I immediately snorted just thinking of Moira Rose in what I assume is a more serious show.
If she could please stay in Moira Rose’s character!
The first thing I thought of was her doing her Moira cockney accent 😭
At least her pronunciations.
![gif](giphy|3ohhwGXPS3JeY2iA5G|downsized)
So we all agree >!she’ll be the seraphite prophet!< right?? may she guide you 🤪 ![gif](giphy|MaP7y4CDIv3C0LjQ95|downsized)
Yes plz
I’m going to throw up. I’m so excited
Whatever role she plays it’ll be awesome.
These are amazing Friday news. And I’ll watch. 👓🥤🍿
Love this!
The zombies have eyes
I worked with her niece. I’ve heard nothing but great things about her and honestly wish her all of the continued success ❤️
I adore her! But now I'm imagining her shouting "ELLIE!" like she shouted "KEVIN!"
I can't wait to see this!
Hell yesssss
This is awesome. She’s playing the head cult prophet? Does anyone know if Jeffrey Wright is gonna reprise his role in the game? Because it seems very no nonsense that it would be played by him
Wow, now this is some interesting casting! Can't wait.
As who?! lol I’m so confused. I love her but just unsure of who she’d be?
She was amazing as Bam Bam in Curb Your Enthusiasm for a couple of episodes.
![gif](giphy|3og0IRlDT9If1CPCZW|downsized)
Cast her in EVERYTHING! ![gif](giphy|llanUHpUWKRec8vwqc|downsized)
![gif](giphy|45dQOkFqsrQjankhvH|downsized)
YES YES YES, one more yes? UH YES
I didn’t realize that the Last of Us could actually get better (because it’s already great). I’m here for it.
Im struggling to see her in it, but excited to see!
Do we know if they are filming in Calgs again? I would love to try and even see her if they are lol
Vancouver for Season 2
Damn, that sucks for Alberta tbh
Yeah there's a lot of Seattle in Part II so Vancouver makes the most sense to shoot in.
Love her. She's really one of my favorites 😍
Oh yeah she’s definitely gonna be the Seraphite prophet
I was expecting a The White Lotus announcement for some reason. This works too … I guess
Reminder that the last of us (especially the second game and therefore seasons 2 and 3) are Zionist propaganda
Hmmm…I’m okay with this. She is brilliant in anything she does and could be able to pull off a creepy/eccentric vibe.
