HBO's ꦫThe Last of Us TV 💫adaptation "well exceeds the eight-figure per episode mark", according to the president of a union that represents people working in the entertainment sector in Alberta, Canada, where the show is being filmed.

Damian Petti, president of IATSE 212, either would or could not "confirm the official budget numbers", but told that 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Last of Us TV show is "likely the largest proj♑ect shooting in Canada".

"This project well exceeds the eight-figure per episode mark," he told the network, "so there is a multiplier effect on our eꩵconomy in terms of its impact. Therꦬe are hundreds of related businesses benefitting from the plethora of work.

"The Last of Us which commences photography this week is indeed a monst✤er," Petti added (thanks, ).  "It has five art dir🤪ectors and employs an army of hundreds of technicians. It has had six months of prep and shoots [in Alberta, Canada] for 12 months."

ICYMI, The Last of Us TV show recently bulked out its cast with 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:three new additions. Bill and his lover/part🍨ner Frank will be appearing in the upcomi🐟ng HBO production, as will a completely original character – played by Tommy's voice actor.

Con O'Neill will play Bill and Murray Bartlett plays Frank. The 💦pair are described as "two post-pandemic survivalists living alone in their own isolated town." On the other hand, Tommy's voice actor, Jeffrey Pierce, will play Perry, a "rebel in a quarantine zone," potentially Boston if the series is closely following the events of the games.

The first season of The Last of Us 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:will run for a sizeable 10 episodes. The initial report on the series in March 2020 hinted that "multiple seasons" could also be a possibility, so an adaptation of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Last of Us 2 can't be ruled out.
