‘The Last of Us’ Director Mark Mylod on Filming That Death Scene With ‘Tears Running Down My Face’ and Why Changes to the Game Were Made
'The Last of Us' director Mark Mylod breaks down filming Joel's death scene and crying on set watching Bella Ramsey play Ellie.
Gamers who have played “The Last of Us Part II” have long known Joel’s (Pedro Pascal) fate, but that didn’t make watching his torture and death at the hands of Abby (Kaitlyn Dever) any easier. However, Mylod expands the moment by giving Dever’s Abby a bone-chilling monologue about her five-year quest for revenge after Joel killed her dad in the Season 1 finale’s hospital shootout. In another departure from the game, Mylod showed the immediate aftermath of Joel’s death, where Ellie gives him one final hug before bringing his body back to Jackson with Dina and Jesse (Young Mazino).
