Flicks And The City's Jan Gilbert sat down with the ever-awesome Maisie Williams (Arya Stark in HBO's Game Of Thrones) to discuss some of her upcoming film and tv projects. During their 20 minute chat, the young actress spills quite a few intriguing details. At this year's NYCC is was revealed that Sam Raimi and the makers of The Last Of Us movie adaptation wanted Williams for the role of Ellie, and she confirms that both parties would love for it to happen but nothing is official just yet. Plus, Williams announces that she's been in talks for a new superhero TV show in the vein of Kick-Ass. She won't name it, but says it'll be based on an idea for a graphic novel that never saw print. So nothing for the Marvel or DC universes by the sounds of it. The Last Of Us chatter comes in around the 10.00 mark, and the TV series talk around 12.55. There's some Game Of Thrones stuff after that too.

On a serious note, Williams is a phenomenal actress. I can't wait to see her branch out beyond her Game of Thrones role, but I just hope she doesn't get typecast. The Last of Us role would be pretty similar to Arya Stark, so I hope she takes on other projects that show off her range of acting.

I've been meaning to watch Game of Thrones for a while now, so I can't really speak on whether she is the right choice to play Ellie.

The Last of Us is one of my all-time favorite games .With the way everything is shaping up, it has the potential to be the first great video game adaptation. Unless Warcraft and Uncharted do well.

Guys, don't make Ror angry... You won't like him when he is angry. Joking aside, good stuff, man. If I don't have something nice to say, I do my best not to say it.

The only exception being if it concerns Gusto. It's fun to give him a bad time, because, well, he is Gusto. ;P

This is one of my favorite scenes of her. She had to perfectly walk the line between hysterical laughing, complete unbelief at her extraordinary bad luck, pure shock, and some sick joy that the Hound's plan was ruined. Great acting right here, especially for her age.

Maybe in a supporting role but I don't think she has the chops to carry a show.

Pasto has already seen this article. He just had to take a candlelight bubble bath immediately upon seeing it is all. Luther Vandross is playing in the background I'm sure.
