Agreed. I mean guy is a legend for sure. Loved his older stuff but I think he is too old for the part now.

They should just cast the entire cast of GoT for this movie!
He isn't going to play Joel.
Maisie Williams tho?
people need to jump off the GoT hype
What's wrong with her? The only concern is that she can't pull of an American accent or she gets too old by the time production rolls around.

Yessssssssssssss Sam Raimi, perfect man for the job!
He did it really well in Bubba Ho-tep, which was a very poignant anf deep movie, once you get passed the whole elderly Elvis with a growth on his pecker and elderly black JFK (RIP Ossie) fighting a mummy in an east Texas seniors home.
And BC in this movie would be amazing!

My concern is that it feels like a fan-service casting popularising on the popularity of Game of Thrones.
I just don't see how she'd be good for it, at all.

Eh? Who was saying what part he should play?

Young, tough, witty, tom-boyish, great actress.. Yeah, I don't see it.
Campbell being in it was a joke, OP fell for it and your info is based on OP. Enough talking?

Sounds like you haven't been paying attention during her scenes.
The movie audience already has The Road.

because we all know movies never come out that are a lot like other movies
she's not old, she's just too old for a character who should be in their early teens. if the character looks like she's twenty it doesn't work as well.
No, no. There is being "a like" and there is being a lot like...
It doesn't need a movie. It would be as asinine as making a Beyond: Two Souls movie.
Face it Tiger..

Who plays joel?
Edit:
People doubted him at first, but turned out pretty well. Same applies to her.
Im leaning towards him as joel

Which was an adaptation of something from one type of media into another type of media. Just like.....THE LAST OF US THE MOVIE!
Besides, it's been a while since The Road came out. It's time for a reboot (Sony's really great at quick franchise reboots..look at Spider-Man
and look how bad it flopped
Also, if Sam Raimi is involved, Bruce Campbell will be in there somewhere. Maybe as a Clicker.
lol, what. I can respect your opinion on the quality and uniqueness of the story (on a plot/theme level). But I disagree strongly on the style/tone. Nothing about the Last of Us is B-movie.
I think Raimi being director is a poor choice for this movie.
EDIT: okay he's producing, not directing.

This will have more action in it, and "The Road" is just a big ball of ruin your day make you feel bad :'(
Im sorry, but "The Road" book was not a visual story, you can't compare the two. Games and film are both visual.

The movie will happen whether you want it or not, because money makes the world go round.
I restate that Jackman would be fantastic as Joel. Anyone who has not seen Prisoners need to watch it pronto.
Can he pull off that southern accent tho?

Wow, so this is officially a thing now. Crazy. Sign me up for the Jackman train. After seeing Prisoners I absolutely think he's be a great fit for Joel, he has the raw physicality and range for the role
I'm not sold. Finding someone for the action scenes is the easy part. Finding someone to connect with during the emotional scenes is the tough sell. Haven't seen Prisoners but Hugh Jackman is not an actor I think of when I think emotional connection with the audience.
You can put a beard on anyone to fit the look.

You oughtta see Prisoners. The script is flawed for sure, but Jackman's not just reprising Wolverine in that role. He is basically Joel

Honest question but what's the last good film Raimi has directed/produced?

Casting aside, who would be the perfect person to direct this movie?
SolidSnakex

Didn't people generally like the Evil Dead reboot?

And a big no to Jackman as the lead.
Yeah, he looks the part but he has no emotional range. He's a very average actor imo but has a great look.

Not going to lie, I'm getting stick of Ledger being used as an example for shit like this.
Maisie is a fine actress, I'm sure she could pull of a lot of interesting roles, but I don't think Ellie is one of them. My opinion.

Oh he did that? Not seen it. Can't imagine it's as good as the original's sequel though.

That's a tough one. Might sound like an odd choice but Danny Boyle, and not just because he did 28 Days Later. He's a very versatile director who is good at getting the most out of both young and old actors/actresses. His films have a very distinct visual style and pacing to them as well.

care to explain why you don't think she's up to snuff?

Good call.
Just watched Only Lovers Left Alive with Tom Hiddlestone so a completely left-field choice could be director Jim Jarmusch.
It's a good movie still. Imo it's better than the original although I was never a big fan of them in the first place.
