Here is Ellie.
Tell me how it isn't perfect.

No, he's the producer, the director hasn't been decided yet.
Even as a producer, I don't know how Sam Raimi can handle a movie of this tone.

Yeah. Sam Raimi has me super skeptical.

Josh Brolin should be Joel. There are times in the game when Joel is talking I'll be god damned if it doesn't sound like Josh Brolin in No Country For Old Men.

John Brolin is actually the perfect choice. Hugh always seems too nice or clean cut
Brolin looks like he eats gravel for sustenance

A part of me wants to watch the movie first then play the game for the first time. The rational part of me says to stop being weird and just pick up the remastered version and then watch the movie after because it's probably a couple years away.
Ellie looks about 25 there. She is supposed to be a kid. That is the damn point of the story. She is Joel's surrogate daughter.

After watching The Last Of Us movie, going back to the Remastered edition feels broken
Who says Ellie must be 14 years old in this movie?
Maisie Williams is only 17.

I would say use new characters but similar themes. Say gender reversed?
But then why even call it The Last Of Us or associate with the game
Because that's the point of her character? Innocent child thrown into the awful reality of a destroyed world?
The realization from the audience that a cruel world has desensitized her to violence and she is comfortable/nonchalant with taking a life?
Ellie is pretty badly screwed up and then she is expected to give her life for the greater good, a decision no one even takes her opinion on
Also the fact that she is kind of a death seeker and waiting to join her friend Riley in the afterlife
All that at 14 fucking years old, shit's depressing yo!

It isn't. He is one of the producers. You guys and your reading comprehension.
with the hands of an 80 year old
We should seriously bomb the Sony Pictures Twitter with this. Josh Brolin would be my other pick.

Hey! Shut your filthy peasant mouth about lovable Maisie!
If Ellie and Arya met, who would be creeped out more and start backing away?
Actually Arya would probably stab Ellie after one too many jokes
YES! He was fantastic in Prisoners.
Wow. Wasn't sold on the Hugh Jackman/Joel thing but I am now.

It will probably pale in comparison to the game, but I'm still looking forward to this.

They could have totally cast Rory McCann as Joel. Now THAT would be funny.
So... Bruce Campbell...
This is Joel, apparently.
No, he's not.

If by gravel you mean alcohol, then yeah he does.
Jackman is too expensive for this. He is also shooting Pan, so no.

Ew @ Hugh Jackman. Anyone with that style of facial hair will look similar, they don't actually look the same.
The Joel will need to prove himself, but nice Ellie casting.

Arya would always win.

Some of these suggestions have me scratching my head. You guys are missing the obvious choice for Joel here.
God, I hope you realize I'm joking.

Not confirmed, but likely at this point. I've edited my comment, the other website reporting had said we was. I guess they were getting ahead of themselves.

Whoa @ the Hugh Jackman example. He'd be perfect and he's such a damn good actor, and even nicer guy. I fucking love Huge Jackman. He's like a legit nice guy in hollywood.
This isn't Joel.

I already saw The Road. No thanks.
EDIT: WHOA, whoa: Bruce Campbell?! Sam Raimi?
...might have to watch it anyway. (I don't think for a second it will be any good, but who knows?)

This thread makes me sad for people's reading comprehension. Raimi is not directing and Campbell is not Joel. Jesus.
Yes he is

In theory this movie has great potential. After all, this will be the first video-game based movie to truly adapt a great story told in a game AND the actual creators are involved too. I think the biggest problem with previous game-to-movie adaptations was that they either had bad stories to begin with and/or their settings and characters were only used to create cheap action/horror flicks.
As long as they don't go out of their way to ruin what is already there it should at the very least be decent.

What would a movie add that the game already didn't do? Pointless.
