Speaking to RadioTimes.com<\/a> and other press about his recently-directed third episode of The Last of Us<\/a>, he said: \u201cI would love to do another Doctor Who but it\u2019s not on the cards right now. I\u2019m not pretending or anything \u2013 I know people like to play that game.\u201d<\/p>\n He continued: \u201cI was with [Russell<\/a>] last night and someone asked the exact same question, \u2018Oh, does this mean you\u2019re going to do Doctor Who together?\u2019 and I said, \u2018No,\u2019 and you could tell nobody believed a word I was saying, but it\u2019s true. I grew up with Doctor Who, hence why I would do it again.\u201d<\/p>\n He spoke about the impact of Doctor Who<\/a> on his own career, explaining: \u201cI grew up with that show, and I\u2019m here because of that show. And from that, I just span out into all kinds of science fiction. I mean, my favourite science fiction is like The Last of Us<\/a> where it\u2019s not massive, it\u2019s like, you know, just a twist of fate that becomes our all of our fates, all of our lives. It\u2019s a quick little tiny change.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd that\u2019s pure science fiction, really, as opposed to science fantasy, like Star Wars, or whatever else, because then it becomes epic and big and wonderful but the humanity is sometimes lost.\u201d<\/p>\n His recent work paired with his longstanding love of Doctor Who is enough to inspire the director to take on more sci-fi projects, with him stating: \u201cSo I will definitely do \u2013 [if] this is an open call to do more sci-fi, then I would definitely say yes. There\u2019s a few projects that I have, you know, around, one of which is pure sci-fi. But you know, it\u2019s not mine yet.<\/p>\n \u201cBut maybe one day. There\u2019s a tease for you.\u201d<\/p>\n For now, Hoar\u2019s talents are clearly on display in episode 3 of The Last of Us<\/a>, which has been a HBO series faithful to the original game but has deviated in the most recent instalment entitled Long, Long Time. The result is a moving episode telling the love story of two middle-aged men<\/a>, played by Nick Offerman and Murray Bartlett.<\/p>\n Speaking about the episode, Hoar also revealed that the\u00a0cast, crew and showrunners Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann found the latest instalment highly emotional.<\/p>\n He said at a Q&A: \u201cQuite honestly, Craig was a wreck through episode 3 because his heart is on his sleeve. And that\u2019s how he sees the world. That\u2019s how he tells stories. And I think it would never have worked for him to do it any other way.<\/p> ![\"""\"](\""https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2023\/01\/GettyImages-1459820952-2d9d3dc.jpg?quality=90&resize=620%2C413"\" "\\"\"\"\\"\/")
