<p>The first reviews for HBO's video game adaptation<strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/news-the-last-of-us-teaser-pedro-pascal-bella-ramsey-face-zombies-in-hbos-video-game-adaptation-519959"> 'The Last of Us'</a></strong> are out. The Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey starrer apocalyptic zombie drama series comes from 'Chernobyl' creator Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann, the creative director and writer of the eponymous video game on which the series is based. The story follows Joel, a smuggler who is tasked with escorting a young girl Ellie across a United States overrun by zombies. Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey play the role of Joel and Ellie, respectively. 'The Last of Us' video game is considered one of the best games of all time, which won a number of Game of the Year awards. So the expectations from the series were high.&nbsp;</p>

<p>And it appears Mazin and Druckmann have knocked it out of the mark. The reviews of the series are thus far extremely positive. On the review aggregation site Rotten Tomaotes, it has scored 97 per cent.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The critical consensus reads, "Retaining the most addictive aspects of its beloved source material while digging deeper into the story, The Last of Us is bingeworthy TV that ranks among the all-time greatest video game adaptations."</p>

<p>Gabriel Luna, Merle Dandridge, Nico Parker, Murray Bartlett, Nick Offerman, Jeffrey Pierce, and Anna Torv also star.</p>

<p><strong>Here are some of the reviews:</strong></p>

<p>Buzzfeed's Izzy Ampil wrote, " I was impressed with how seamlessly the show built and burst my expectations, over and over again. As it progresses from episode to episode, it keeps building out its sociopolitical landscape in increasingly complex, newly terrifying ways."</p>

<p>The Independent's Nick Hilton wrote, "Druckmann, working with Mazin, has his fingerprints all over this tender, well-crafted and blackly comic piece. Right now, HBO is simply operating on a different level to any other network."</p>

<p>CNN's Brian Lowry wrote, "There’s a genuine humanity in the bond that forms between Joel and Ellie, which develops organically from one harrowing encounter to the next, while also creating strong showcases for the guest stars that pass through their orbits."</p>

<p>Vulture's Jen Chaney wrote, "Even if The Last of Us treads familiar ground, it is still a gripping and ambitious work that seems fated to become the premium cable network’s next Twitter-trending hit."</p>

<p>Paste Magazine's Terry Terrones wrote, "Complex characters combined with stellar acting, a wonderfully paced story, and an emotionally engaging plot make The Last of Us a brilliant series that is now the template all other videogame-to-TV adaptations should follow."</p>

'The Last of Us' review roundup: What critics think of HBO's video game adaptation

<p>'Baby Ruby', a psychological horror-thriller written and directed by Bess Wohl, has a trailer. The film stars Noémie Merlant and Kit Harington as a couple awaiting the birth of their first child. The child, called Ruby, is born and appears to be perfect. But still, something seems off. The neighbourhood mothers are too friendly with her. Is there a genuine reason behind her dread, or it's just paranoia? Or worse: is she losing her mind? Things become so bad that she begins to distrust reality, losing her touch with it. After all, when anything could be a threat, how else one would not go insane?</p>

<p>The official synopsis of the film reads, "BABY RUBY tells the story of Jo, a successful lifestyle entrepreneur who is happily pregnant, awaiting the arrival of her first child.

And why are the seemingly perfect neighborhood moms so desperate to befriend her? As Jo fights to protect herself and her baby, she is plunged into a waking fever dream where everyone is a threat and nothing is what it seems.

'Avatar The Way Of Water' to end up with $2.6 billion at the global box office: Report

<p>Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky&nbsp;made an appearance during the Golden Globe Awards 2023 through a pre-recorded video message. Noted actor and Zelensky's friend Sean Penn introduced his appearance on the stage at The Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California. Zelensky, who has won praise for his leadership during the Russian invasion of his country, said in his “special message of peace”, "The war in Ukraine is not over yet. But the tide is turning, and it is already clear who would win. There are still battles and tears. Now I can definitely tell you who was the best in the previous year: it was you. The free people of the free world. Those who united around the support of free Ukrainian people, in our common struggle for freedom, for democracy, for the right to live and to laugh — no matter who you are, no matter where you are from.&nbsp;</p>

"There will be no World War III arising out from the conflict. It is not a trilogy. Ukraine will stop the Russian aggression on our land.” Zelensky, who was also an actor and a comedian before he made his entry into politics, has tried to use American award shows to garner a platform to communicate with US public. His team had lobbied to gain him a slot in the Oscars last year, but failed. Penn had called for a boycott of the Oscars if Zelensky was not allowed to speak. Zelensky was not in the end a part of the ceremony, but Penn handed two of his own Oscars to him as a solidarity gesture, asking him to bring them back to Malibu when Ukraine wins.</p>

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky made an appearance during the Golden Globe Awards 2023 through a pre-recorded video message. Noted actor and Zelensky's friend Sean Penn introduced his appearance on the stage at The Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California. Zelensky, who has won praise for his leadership during the Russian invasion of his country, said in his “special message of peace”, "The war in Ukraine is not over yet. But the tide is turning, and it is already clear who would win. There are still battles and tears. Now I can definitely tell you who was the best in the previous year: it was you. The free people of the free world. Those who united around the support of free Ukrainian people, in our common struggle for freedom, for democracy, for the right to live and to laugh — no matter who you are, no matter where you are from. Ukraine’s Zelensky, a former actor himself, makes an appearance at the Golden Globes and thanks/appeals to the world and Hollywood for its continued support. pic.twitter.com/mdd7JVg07T — Christopher Miller (@ChristopherJM) January 11, 2023 Zelensky added that the struggle was in part “the right of the new generations to know about the war only from movies. "There will be no World War III arising out from the conflict. It is not a trilogy. Ukraine will stop the Russian aggression on our land.” Zelensky, who was also an actor and a comedian before he made his entry into politics, has tried to use American award shows to garner a platform to communicate with US public. His team had lobbied to gain him a slot in the Oscars last year, but failed. Penn had called for a boycott of the Oscars if Zelensky was not allowed to speak. Zelensky was not in the end a part of the ceremony, but Penn handed two of his own Oscars to him as a solidarity gesture, asking him to bring them back to Malibu when Ukraine wins.

<p>During the Golden Globe Awards 2023, held on Tuesday night, the dance number 'Naatu Naatu' from SS Rajamouli's epic period drama 'RRR' went on to clinch the trophy in the Best Original Song category.

<p>The Golden Globe Awards 2023 were held on Tuesday night. Many movies and TV shows, as well as actors, actresses, writers, and so on, competed at the star-studded awards ceremony. While in films, Martin McDonagh's Irish Civil War-era set the story of the breaking of a friendship 'The Banshees of Inisherin' won the day with three wins, Quinta Brunson's 'Abbott Elementary' topped in television. India's 'RRR', meanwhile, won the Best Original Song trophy for 'Naatu Naatu'. While the awards show was pretty controversy-free (and tame, if we are being honest), there were a few moments when the acceptance speeches of many contenders appeared to be interrupted by piano music.</p>

<p>While many blamed and trolled Chloe Flower, the pianist who we saw intermittently before and after the breaks, it appears she was not responsible for the interludes that annoyed many a winner during the awards show.</p>

<p>Flower denied playing piano during the awards speeches. She said she was playing the piano only when the audience saw her on the camera. "I would never play piano over people’s speeches!! I’m only playing when you see me on camera! #goldenglobes," she wrote on Twitter.</p>

<p>A trailer for Peyton Reed's<strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/news-ant-man-and-the-wasp-quantumania-new-poster-out-ahead-of-the-trailer-see-photo-550877"> 'Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania'</a></strong>, the third 'Ant-man' movie is here. The film serves as the introduction of Jonathan Majors' Kang the Conqueror in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Majors played a gentler, alt-universe version of the character called He Who Remains in the finale of 'Loki' season 1. But this is the first time we will be witness to the Big Bad who will also face the Avengers in 'Avengers: Kang Dynasty', the fifth film in the 'Avengers' franchise. In 'Quantumania', Kang pretends to get Ant-Man or Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) his lost time back. If you don't remember, Scott was stuck in the Quantum Realm for five years duration when Thanos had killed off half the universe.</p>

<p>In that time, Scott's daughter Cassie (now played by Kathryn Newton as an adult) grew up and will wear the shrinking suit that her father and Hope van Dyne (Evangeline Lilly) also wear. In the trailer, Kang promises to get Scott his lost time back. Only Janet van Dyne (Michelle Pfeiffer) knows the truth about Kang. She was stuck in the Quantum Realm for 30 years and warns Scott from trusting Kang. You can watch the trailer above.&nbsp;</p>

Check out the new poster and don’t miss the new trailer for Marvel Studios’ #AntManAndTheWasp: Quantumania tonight in the College Football Playoff National Championship at 7:30 PM ET only on @espn. pic.twitter.com/cQYbsravs4 — Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania (@AntMan) January 9, 2023 × Reed has earlier teased that 'Ant-Man 3' will rival 'Avengers' movies in scale, and no longer the 'palate cleansers' as they have been called before. Reed was speaking to Entertainment Weekly when he said, "People felt like, Oh, these are fun little palate cleansers after a gigantic Avengers movie. For this third one, I said, 'I don't want to be the palate cleanser anymore. I want to be the big Avengers movie. I grew up a real Marvel comics nerd, and there are a handful of antagonists in the Marvel comics universe who are all-timers. Loki, obviously. Doctor Doom from the Fantastic Four. And Kang the Conqueror." He added, "In conversations with Kevin Feige and Marvel, it was like, I want to put Ant-Man and Wasp up against a really formidable villain in this movie, and so we're doing Kang the Conqueror. In the comics, Kang has dominion over time, he's a time traveler. His situation is a little bit different in this movie, which I won't spoil for you, but he's someone who, [while] we live very linear lives, from childhood to death, Kang doesn't exist that way. It struck me as interesting to take the tiniest Avengers — in some people's minds maybe the least powerful Avengers — and put them up against the most powerful force in the multiverse." 'Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania', which will reportedly run for 125 minutes, also stars Michael Douglas, Michelle Pfeiffer, David Dastmalchian, and Randall Park. It releases on February 17, 2023.
