Local Johnny Cage found a new filming site on North Vancouver’s Mount Seymour for season 2 of HBO’s smash hit adaption of The Last of Us video game.
The set is on the Mystery Lake and Goldie Dam trail on Mount Seymour with filming on Monday and Tuesday, June 24th and 25th.
Animals will be working on set and blank gunfire may be intermittently heard on either of these days – Notice of Filming.
Animals suggest horses.
Cage thinks it’s going to be an adaption of a sequence when Ellie (Bella Ramsey) joins brothers Joel Miller (Pedro Pascal) and Tommy Miller (Gabriel Luna) on one of their patrols up the Teton trail to former ski resort Mountain View near Jackson, Wyoming. While Joel scouts the Lodge, Tommy takes Ellie up the mountain to teach her how to shoot his sniper rifle at hordes of the Infected around the Lodge. The Mount Seymour locale does evoke Wyoming, but for the past few months production has been adapting Seattle, Washington parts of the game.
Filming notice:
What is The Last of Us?
Season One of The Last of Us took place 20 years after modern civilization had been destroyed by a fungal pandemic. Joel (Pedro Pascal), a hardened survivor, was hired to smuggle teen Ellie (Bella Ramsey) out of an oppressive quarantine zone. What started as a small job soon became a brutal, heartbreaking journey as they both traversed across the U.S. and depended on each other for survival.
At the end of season one, Joel and Ellie headed back to Jackson, Wyoming, a walled community of survivors from the fungal pandemic led by Joel’s brother Tommy Miller (Gabriel Luna) and sister-in-law Maria (Rutina Wesley).
In season 2, we will meet some new characters In Jackson like Ellie’s new friend Dina (Isabela Merced) and scout Jesse (Young Mazino).
We will also meet a group of former Fireflies who join Isaac (Jeffrey Wright)’s Washington Liberation Front (WLF) in Seattle: soldier Abby Anderson (Kaitlyn Dever), who’s seeking vengeance for someone she loved, soldier Manny (Danny Ramirez), doctor Mel (Ariela Barer), military medic Nora (Tati Gabrielle) and Owen (Spencer Lord).
Kaitlyn Dever is soldier Abby Anderson.
Danny Ramirez is soldier Manny; Ariela Bare is doctor Mel, Tati Gabrielle is military medic Nora and Spencer Lord is Owen.
