The surprising appearance of Nicolas Cage in the 1×04 of ‘The Last of Us’ on HBO

To become one of the best series on HBO Max you have to make great merits and, of course, the surprising appearance of Nicolas Cage in the 1×04 of ‘The Last of Us’ It is one of them.

And before we throw ourselves to the sharks, no, obviously, good Cage does not appear in the chapter and we have used imagination and good intentions in the headline to stay afloat for another day in the raging ocean of clicksbut if you have clicked, it is because you need to know about HBO Max, which now occupies a large part of the network of networks and here, without a doubt, you will find another juicy morsel of information about the adaptation of the Naughty Dog video game scripted by Neil Druckmann, also responsible for this production together with Craig Mazin.

After clarifying whose gay porn magazine Ellie is in, the fourth chapter brings us back to our protagonists on their desperate journey to Wyoming. Hoping to find a shortcut through the ruins of Kansas City, they stumble upon a city not as uninhabited as they expected, but a certain detail before falling into a violent ambush has caught our attention..

On the left of the image we can see how Joel and Ellie they pass a cinema that saw better days, a room frozen in time forever in 2003when the cordyceps pandemic broke out and caught the residents of Kansas City with two very specific titles on the bill at his neighborhood cinema: ‘The Impostors (Matchstick Men)’, by Ridley Scott, and ‘Underworld’, by Len Wiseman.

In ‘the impostors‘ We met Roy (Nicolas Cage) and Frank (Sam Rockwell), two small-time con men who make a living scamming clueless customers until their teenage daughter (Alison Lohman), a young woman with whom they initially don’t get along, appears at stake. but that it will end up being part of his world in a way that he did not expect. Matches with Joel and Ellie can be found whenever one wants and has some leeway.

‘Underworld‘, for its part, is that story with Kate Beckinsale as Selene, a powerful vampire warrior involved in a bellicose plot with werewolves and blood drinkers that was followed by ‘Underworld: Evolution’ (Len Wiseman, 2006), ‘Underworld: Rise of the Lycans’ (Patrick Tatopoulos, 2009), ‘Underworld: Awakening’ (Måns Mårlind, Björn Stein, 2012) and ‘Underworld: Blood Wars’ (Anna Foerster, 2016).

But none of those sequels – and many of the titles on our list with ALL Nicolas Cage movies, ordered – will exist in the world of ‘The Last of Us’, stopped forever in 2003 as far as shared popular culture is concerned.
