We've known there was a big-screen take on the excellent Last Of Us video game in the works for a while now, but today at SDCC the film's writer (Neil Druckmann) and producer (Sam Raimi) held a surprise panel to discuss it. Druckmann revealed that they've met with Game Of Thrones' actress Maisie Williams for the role of Ellie; the young girl who may hold the key to the survival of the human race in the game's story. Apparently nothing’s locked down, but Druckman urged audience members to ask Williams about the roll later on during the Game of Thrones panel. "I think it's going to be a great character journey and a great love story, and a great horror picture," Raimi added. No director or release date as of yet, but what would you guys think of Williams in the role? They also released this promo poster:

@MrCBM56 She did mo-cap for Beyond: Two Souls. She actually was pretty pissed, that the charakter in The Last Of Us looked so much like her.

Screw Ellen Page. I dislike her anyways.

@DIAMONDZ

Well, the character itself was never designed to look attractive, merely average.

It's always funny to me when people bash the ending to this game. I guess they didn't understand it.

Ellen Page is not going to be Ellie. She seems to be a bit older to play the role now. And on top of it she was not too pleased that Ellie looked like her in the first place without her consent. She was already working on Beyond Two Souls and was pretty confused by Naughy Dog decision to make Ellie seem just like her. But she and Naughty Dog made amends.
