American actress Storm Reed has joined the cast of the film adaptation of the television series The Last of Us.
Euphoria star with Zendaya, Storm Reed will play Riley Abel (whose original voice is that of Jaani King), a sixteen-year-old orphan and survivor who dislikes the military and often speaks highly of the Fireflies, defending their supposedly radical actions. While attending military school in Boston’s quarantine zone, she befriends Ellie and they quickly become best friends. While the character is briefly mentioned in the main Naughty Dog game, he is featured more prominently in The Last of Us: Left Behind DLC.
Con O’Neil will not be able to participate in the filming of The Last of Us
While he was supposed to play the role of survivor Bill, who plays a duet with Frank (played by Murray Bartlett), actor Con O’Neal is replaced by Nick Offerman (Parks and Recreation, Fargo, The Good Place). He was forced to leave due to scheduling conflicts. For reference, Craig Mazin, the creator of Chernobyl, is the writer and executive producer of The Last of Us along with Neil Druckmann, the writer and creative director of the video game. Carolyn Strauss, Rose Lam, Evan Wells, President of Naughty Dog, Asad Qizilbash and Carter Swan of PlayStation Productions are also executive producers. Kantemir Balagov flew the pilot along with Yasmila Zhbanich and Ali Abbasi.
