SDCC: Last of Us movie announced.

He's not Joel.
Funnily enough we were talking about movie castings in the Remastered thread and I brought up Anson Mount for Joel.
Since the movie announcement this comes across my feed. lol
Yes he would be pretty good as well. The Bohannon character is basically a slightly nicer, slightly less angry Joel in the wild west.
she's 30 years old............
Literally nothing is set, Bruce was named as a joke, and for David, not Joel.
Was thinking this, actually. Wouldn't surprise me one bit. I remember Druckmann praising her.

I would agree with Anson Mount as Joel as well, but he doesn't really have star power right now (he's awesome and should be a star, though). I would imagine the producers would like a big name for either Joel or Ellie, and Ellie is the harder one to find a star for.

Chloe Grace Moretz as Ellie

I guess it's a good choice?
Does it have to be the exact duplicate?

Yeah, she would be great! She's 15, but she looked really young in the Grounded doc.

I like it!
We need a 3D printed Ellie robot with the Ellie actress's voice programmed in or else.

jackman would be great. he has the star power and after watching prisoners theres no doubt he can pull off the role. but I doubt they can get him to do a video game movie.

Are they doing this after Bruce gives birth or will they shoot around his pregnancy?

I don't know, he was in Van Helsing and Real Steel.
You know who it has to be....
I was going to make a joke about a big name actor who would be desperate enough to take a role in a video game movie, but you stole my thunder.
Nicholas Cage guys, you know it's destined.
Directed by Nolan
I could see it happening but I would be extremely disappointing. Mainstream audiences would probably dislike the ending if they kept it though.

You don't have to watch it. At least rumor is that Neil Druckmann will not kidnap you, take you to the movie theater and force you to watch the entire thing. Just rumors though.
Pull an I am Legend and make two endings. Put the superior one on the bluray release.
Did I say that they're not allowed to do it? I'm just saying that I don't see the point, but it seems like you're not interested in a discussion anyway.

acting ability > looking the part. Every single time.
This can never happen.
That would be such fucking bullshit if they did this.

From a storytelling perspective, TLoU's ending only exists because the player is in control and has to feel Joel's rampage through their own actions. If you're just telling that story from a third-person narrative perspective - it's a lot less meaningful.
Also, the ending relies a lot of shock value to have merit - so I understand changing it as a means of keeping the viewer on their toes.

because actresses anyone's heard of are almost always older than 14
Sam Raimi involvement, I can't imagine they'd use CG for what basically amounts to zombies... I prefer and expect practical clickers.

pip pip cheerio you slags!
I'm willing to give it the benefit of the doubt but this is exactly how I feel. Never read/seen the Road, but supposedly they are very similar. IDK, solid acting and effects could sell the movie though.

viggo mortensen. he already had the role down pat in The Road 
No it doesn't it all, it plays to the entire theme of the story, I did a small writeup on the last page why.
No CGI please.
Is that what happened in that movie? God it's been so long since I saw it. I don't even know which ending I preferred anymore lol.
But that would be awful
Oh my god Idris Elba as Joel would be fucking sick.

Cool, but what are the odds this film will ever get made? It seems like every video game movie announcement of worth never goes anywhere. Whatever happened to the Metal Gear movie?
Or the Assassin's Creed movie.
Although it seems like the Uncharted movie is moving into production very soon.
Exactly.. There are literally dozens of known hollywood actors who could nail this part. Christian Bale, Gerard Butler, hell, even Tom Cruise could do it (seriously). The list is endless.
My still waiting for my Mass Effect movie lol
