In 2014 werd er bekende gemaakt dat er een film zou gaan komen van het voortreffelijke PlayStation exclusive The Last of Us. Maar sinds dien is het erg stil geweest, en is het Sam Raimi die nu in een interview met IGN vertelde dat het hele project eigenlijk helemaal stil aka in de ijskast staat. Wat natuurlijk slecht nieuws is voor veel gamers die dit drama graag in live action zouden willen zien.

"When we went to Neil with Ghost House Pictures. We were hoping to get the rights like we do any project and then we'd take it out and sell it, but we'd control the rights. With this one he went to Sony - who I have a very good relationship with - but they have their own plans for it and I think Neil's plan for it - I'm not trying to be political - Neil's plan for it is not the same as Sony's. And because my company doesn't have the rights, I actually can't help him too much. Even though I'm one of the producers on it the way he set it up, he sold his rights to Sony, Sony hired me as a producer by chance, and I can't get the rights free for him so I'm not in the driver's seat and I can't tell you what Sony and Neil together will decide on. If they do move forward, I'd love to help them again."
