索尼旗下的熱門遊戲改編影集《最後生還者 2 》即將於 4 月正式播出。雖然該劇在 CES 發表會上遭遇部分觀眾噓聲,但總監尼爾德魯克曼( Neil Druckmann )對此毫不動搖。他在接受外媒專訪時,針對「艾比選角不夠壯」的爭議表示製作團隊更重視演員能否捕捉角色的核心特質,還稱「團隊注重表演勝過一切」再度遭炎上。

《最後生還者 2 》影集選角遭批評
外媒報導,對於網友認為飾演艾比的凱特琳德弗(Kaitlyn Dever)與遊戲中肌肉感十足的形象不符一事,德魯克曼回應「團隊注重表演勝過一切,並不在乎眉毛、身體、鼻子等是否看起來跟遊戲的角色一樣,更希望這些演員可以捕捉到角色特質」。他進一步強調,劇組經過深思熟慮後,認為凱特琳是最能呈現艾比靈魂的人選。

Neil Druckmann says they didn't have Kaitlyn Dever bulk up to play Abby in ‘THE LAST OF US’ Season 2.

“That doesn't play as big of a role in this version of the story… It's more about the drama”

此外他也提到,影集雖然保有動作場面,但劇情與戲劇張力才是核心,這也是選角標準的重要依據。事實上,第一季影集在選角時便曾遭受質疑,伊莎貝拉梅拉姆齊( Isabella May Ramsey )因與遊戲中的艾莉形象不同而引發爭議,然而她最終以精湛演技獲得觀眾認可,讓影集大獲成功。然而部分玩家對於《最後生還者 2 》的改編仍持保留態度,甚至直言「只承認第一部」引發網友兩派討論。
