Looks like a pretty good match.
Vancouver’s Orpheum Theatre plays post-apocalyptic Seattle’s Pinnacle Theater in season 2 of HBO’s hit adaption of The Last of Us video game.
The Pinnacle Theater is the place that Bella Ramsey’s Ellie and Isabel Merced’s Dina hole up during their time in Seattle. And it is also the venue where the duo reunite with their Jackson, Wyoming friends — Young Mazino’s Jesse and Gabriel Luna’s Tommy Miller.
You can expect some major events to happen inside this theater.

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 meet some new characters In Jackson like Ellie’s new friend Dina (Isabela Merced) and scout Jesse (Young Mazino).
We 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).
Ellie and Dina later travel from Jackson to Seattle on a horse named Shimmer, following Tommy Miller to the WLF-controlled city. And Jesse follows them.
Pedro Pascal’s Joel Miller does not go to Seattle in the game. Pascal is already wrapped on season 2 and in London for the start of production on The Fantastic 4 (after a weekend appearance for the upcoming Marvel movie at San Diego Comic Con).
