‘The Last of Us’ Director on Dina’s Bisexuality, Introducing Isaac and How the Show Has Inspired Her Adaptation of ‘The Sims’
Kate Herron, director of Season 2, Episode 4 of "The Last of Us," discusses filming Ellie and Dina's sex scene, and introducing Jeffrey Wright's Isaac.
So much so that when the “Sex Education” and “Loki” director landed her first meeting with series creators Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann about helming an episode for Season 2, she nearly showed up on Zoom dressed as the lead character, Ellie (Bella Ramsey). Over the course of the day, they discover a music shop where Ellie sings a lovely, acoustic rendition of A-ha’s “Take On Me” to Dina; they come across a team of Wolves who’ve been strung up and disemboweled by the extremist religious sect the Seraphites (aka Scars); they’re chased into a subway station teeming with infected, where they have to race through a subway car set upon from both sides; Ellie is bitten, forcing her to reveal to Dina, who’s holding her at gunpoint, that she’s immune to the cordyceps infection; Dina finally confesses her feelings for Ellie and that she’s pregnant; and they consummate their attraction by having sex in an abandoned theater lobby. The real key thing there is that we have this rookie [played by Ben Ahlers], who, yes, knows a bit more than the audience knows, but they’re on the back foot and trying to work out how they feel in this world.
