“Maybe one day people will get to see them.” <\/p>
Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey have exceeded<\/a> even the highest expectations on The Last of Us<\/a>, perfectly bringing Ellie and Joel to life.<\/p>\n Episode by episode<\/a>, they\u2019ve won over viewers as Joel and Ellie\u2019s bond gets stronger, with episode 4<\/a> even showing Ellie annoying Joel with, objectively, some absolutely terrible puns.<\/p>\n However, it\u2019s now been revealed that there\u2019s even more footage out there of the pair\u2019s brilliant dynamic that didn\u2019t make the cut.<\/p>\n Jeremy Webb, who directed episodes 4 and 5 of the HBO<\/a> series, told RadioTimes.com<\/a>: \u201cWhat I loved about it is the levity that Craig [Mazin] and Neil [Druckmann] give the story and how much humour there is with the pun book that runs all the way through the episodes.<\/p>\n \u201cIt all really comes from the game, but it\u2019s been enhanced and made even funnier. It\u2019s quite interesting, if you talk about stuff that was cut out \u2013 during their montage of their trip across the States, there were a few little bits in episode 4 where they would be refilling cars and chatting and she would be telling him more jokes and stuff.\u201d<\/p> Webb continued: \u201cWe improvised quite a lot of stuff that didn\u2019t make it to the cut. But just to see Pedro and Bella off-script inhabiting those characters was a delightful thing to watch.<\/p>\n \u201cThe ones that are in the final episodes were scripted mostly \u2013 they go off-piste a little bit. But those improvisations [that were cut] were completely spontaneous. Maybe one day people will get to see them!\u201d<\/p>\n The director also said of the pair\u2019s bond: \u201cIf there\u2019s anything that surprised me about them, I thought they were good, I thought they were really good actors. But I didn\u2019t know that they were extraordinary.<\/p>\n Read more:<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cAnd I didn\u2019t quite understand how well they would work together and how much they clearly cared for each other so much and would find the details of the interplay. I\u2019ve never, ever seen something like that before.\u201d<\/p>\n Pascal and Ramsey have been widely praised for their roles in The Last of Us, with some fans even dubbing the series the greatest video game adaptation<\/a> of all time.<\/p>\n Thankfully, we\u2019ve still got half a season left, with episode 5<\/a> hitting screens early in the UK and the US. Plus, the show has been renewed for a second season<\/a> \u2013 so there will be lots more of Pascal and Ramsey\u2019s amazing dynamic to see.<\/p>
