Director Mark Mylod, who\u2019s been getting a lot of praise for his work this season, recently shared an emotional moment that nearly broke him.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"239\" data-end=\"577\">In an interview, Craig Mazin, the show\u2019s creator, explained how he really wanted Mylod to direct <em data-start=\"336\" data-end=\"352\">The Last of Us<\/em> from the start, but Mylod was busy working on the hit show <em data-start=\"412\" data-end=\"424\">Succession<\/em> at the time. Mazin recalled their first conversation about it, saying, \u201cI really wanted to get Mark on season one, but he was working on <em data-start=\"562\" data-end=\"574\">Succession<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"579\" data-end=\"836\">Mazin added a funny but telling moment: \u201cThen he did the dumbest thing. He was on one of those Emmy campaign panels where directors were asked, \u2018If you could work with anyone, who would it be?\u2019 and he said, \u2018Craig Mazin.\u2019 So, I texted him, \u2018You fucked up.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"838\" data-end=\"1099\">Despite this, Mylod came on board and directed one of the standout episodes of the season, which featured intense emotional scenes and epic battles. Reflecting on one of the most moving moments from episode two, Mylod mentioned a scene that deeply affected him.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1101\" data-end=\"1413\">In this scene, Joel is killed by Abby, and the aftermath is filled with raw emotions\u2014grief, anger, and loss. Mylod described the shot as \u201cabout desolation, absolute finality, and loss.\u201d He said they intentionally shot the scene in a simple, understated way to focus on the character\u2019s humanity and vulnerability.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1415\" data-end=\"1721\">He added that the top shot was meant to feel \u201cfinal, judgmental, and hopefully heartbreaking\u201d to convey the desperate need for physical connection in that moment. The director admitted that this scene moved him to tears while filming, showing how deeply he connected with the emotional weight of the story.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the latest season of The Last of Us, new twists are keeping fans hooked with each episode.
