Chronicles of The Last of Us

2023

Insufficient evidence

We did not find enough credible, independent evidence to publish a numeric cash-grab score. Unrated is more honest than a guess.

What counts as a cash grab?

Commercial extraction prioritized over meaningful consumer or creative value. Profit, popularity, adaptations, sequels, remakes, high budgets, and normal marketing do not count by themselves.

Why?

Chronicles of The Last of Us is a 2023, 7-minute Brazilian short explicitly described in multiple film databases as a fan-film based on Naughty Dog and Sony’s property, released March 12, 2023. Database records show a minimal estimated budget (IMDb lists R$800), no distributor, no box office or paid-VOD listing, and almost no independent press or professional reviews. I found no evidence of paid monetization, predatory pricing, or deceptive release practices, the available records point to a low-budget fan production rather than a commercial extraction.

  • Multiple databases label it a short fan-film and note rights remain with Naughty Dog and Sony.
  • IMDb shows an estimated budget of R$800 and databases list a 7 minute runtime and a March 12, 2023 release with no box office or distributor.
  • I found no listings on major commercial VOD or storefronts, and no independent press coverage or professional reviews.
