‘The Last of Us’ Creator Neil Druckmann on Directing Pedro Pascal’s Last Episode, That Pearl Jam Song and Catherine O’Hara’s ‘Beautiful’ Improvisation
"The Last of Us" creator Neil Druckmann discusses directing Pedro Pascal's final full episode as Joel and why he kept a Pearl Jam song that wouldn't exist on the show.
Taking place on Ellie’s birthday over successive years, the episode depicts how she and Joel, now fully a part of the tight-knit community of Jackson, Wyoming, have fallen into a new, uneasy rhythm as adoptive father and daughter. For her 16th birthday, Joel takes her to a long forgotten natural history museum that still has many of its exhibits more-or-less intact, including the space capsule from the Apollo 15 moon landing — almost exactly like the fan-favorite scene from the video game. Things between them begin to sour, however, on Ellie’s 17th birthday, when Joel walks in on her smoking weed while getting a tattoo from another girl, Kat (Noah Lamanna), over the burn scarring on her arm.
