The Last of Us
More set video from HBO’s “The Last of Us” TV series has emerged, this one offering a birds eye view of Pedro Pascal’s Joel, Anna Torv’s Tess and Bella Ramsey’s Ellie shooting a scene on set in Edmonton this week with the scenes likely standing in for post-pandemic Boston.

HBO Max’s DC Films
Revealed Saturday as part of the DC FanDome presentation, concept art from both of HBO Max’s planned live-action “Blue Beetle” and “Batgirl” films were shown. Both films are early in pre-production and so nothing much else is available and it’s not clear when either film will be out.
