, fans expressed mass concern. The video game franchise, which debuted in 2013, remains one of the most beloved stories in the gaming community -- no one wanted to see it ruined. Plus, attempts to adapt the game had already failed once: almost became the subject of a live-action movie distributed by Sony, but the project fell through in 2019.Show creators Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann looked at these past struggles as learning opportunities for their television show, which is currently in the midst of season 1 on HBO Max. To succeed in their adaptation, Mazin and Druckmann knew that they had to ground their show’s foundation in the game’s origins, but the first episode’s release in January seemed to surprise even the most ardent of fans with how much they truly got it right. With each week's Sunday release, fans point out the growing number of scenes that recreate the game almost identically, with others complimenting the areas where Mazin and Druckmann chose to go in a different direction. Check out our favorite game-to-show comparisons by episode below. Sitting on the couch in their Texas home, Joel's daughter Sarah gifts him a mended watch for his birthday.

Matt Donnelly Senior Film Writer Jake Bongiovi, budding actor and son of rocker Jon Bon Jovi, is one of three young stars who have joined the cast of the comedy “Rockbottom,” Variety can report exclusively. Bongiovi, a considerable social media presence and native to the music space, will join McKaley Miller (“Ma”) and Teala Dunn (“Crush”) in the feature project from writer-director and SFX makeup guru Todd Tucker (“The Terror of Hallow’s Eve”). The actors will orbit lead Tom Everett Scott (“That Thing You Do,” “13 Reasons Why”). Tucker’s script, co-written with Greg Zekowski, follows 1980s hair metal band CougarSnake, whose career ended just as it was starting due to clashes over the direction of the group. In the present day, a mention of the band in an interview by Billboard-charting, Gen-Z music star Bryce Cooper (Brandon Butler), whose absentee father introduced him to CougarSnake as a child, creates a frenzy to find the members of the group and reunite them as opening act for Cooper’s forthcoming charity concert. Scott stars as Jesse, the bass player for CougarSnake, who has not-so comfortably settled into single fatherhood. Unsure whether he wants to relive his faded rockstar dreams, his daughter Alex (Miller) and her best friend Kat (Dunn) join forces to change his mind and get the band back together. Bongiovi will play Justin, the potential new lead singer, who must overcome stage fright to lead the band back to glory.
