Whoever they choose to play Joel and Ellie will need to have good chemistry on camera together. If they are smart they will do the casting with them together.

I know it's not what's happening but we already experienced the serious version of this story in the game so if they did do a dark humour take on the story with Sam Raimi directing and Bruce as Joel, it would probably be my favourite movie ever.

Normally I'd agree but this has a very different feel to it. It's not like most where a studio jumps on the rights for a popular game and just sits on them. Sony and ND are actively pursuing this, hardly any of those other phantom game-movies ever had time and posters dedicated to them at a Comic-Con panel. The fact that Neil is already openly discussing casting means this is moving along nicely. Sony will want to capitalize on this fast while people are still talking about the game.

If this is supposed to be a joke I don't get it.
It's a joke about TLOU: Remastered.

Well those two do have good chemistry together but it's a different kind of relationship.

The story can easily fall flat on it's face in movie form. They reason it's so praised is more because of how it's delivered in a game format and the personal experience from the player justifying decisions made story-wise. Hmmmmmmmmmmm. If they are going to take the story from the game for the movie, I really don't see it being as impactful in the movie world as it is in the gaming world.. If that makes sense. The production values will most likely make up for a somewhat mediocre story and a possibly more crowd-pleasing approach.

Jackman or Brolin would be great for Joel. (Saw Bruce Campbell in the OP and about shit a brick)
Maisie is fine as Ellie if she can do an American accent.

Bruce Campbell and Sam Raimi? Day 1

You son of a bitch lol:,)
Because it's probably not specifically for gamers? Because they want to make a film for, ya know, the billions of people who don't play video games?

If you actually believed that Bruce Campbell would be the lead or actually wanted that to be the case you're a nerd with bad taste.
I like Hugh Jackman as Joel. They look pretty similar (at least in the movie Prisoners):
YES!!!!

Sam Raimi? Really? Is this confirmed?Sam Raimi is the last person I could think of to direct a tlou movie. Not thrilled with Masie either. Bruce is cool though. But I cant help but think the movie is gonna take on a lighter note.

Please let it be Hugh.Bruce Campbell as Joel doesn't work for me or at all. He's Sully Damn it.
He's not directing.
Drops mic. Walks out of room. Genius is imminent.
People are thinking Sam Raimi is directing. Give them time...

Joel isn't hard to cast. Elle is harder but Maise isn't a bad choice.
I was hoping for either Hugh Jackman or Dylan McDermott
Neil should practice his writing a lot more if he's gonna be writing it.
sappy pls... dude sucks, he can't act.
Also, greaaaaaat news, will watch for sure.
Ellen Page isn't gonna happen.
Ellen Page? Really? /: Nothing against her or anything but I don't think she's a good fit for Ellie. Maisie is a better choice.

Some of you aren't even thinking about actors, just picking the people that visually most resemble the characters to you.
I don't mind Jackman as Joel but even if Ellen Page was younger or looked like Ellie (for the record I actually don't see much resemblance) nothing Page has done would convince me she is right for the role (not saying she is a bad actress - just not the right fit).

After playing TLOU and Left Behind I have the exact opposite of opinion when it comes to Ellie. She IS a boyish wild girl.
Not true. They joked about him playing David.

Jackman or Brolin Naughty Dog. Williams can stay. Just give one of those two and I'll be happy.
Did we play the same game? Based on her attitude and language, she is sorta like "tom boyish" and not anywhere girly at all. She is actually nothing like a typical girl. I think, in her reality, she is mentally strong and acts older than what she is due to the circumstances of her world.
But I wouldnt want that GoT girl to portray Ellie. I think the girl who does Hit-Girl would be best.

Blah. I remember when the Bioshock movie was announced with Verbinski at the helm. Everyone involved was very enthusiastic about it being made.
That was six years ago.

I don't really agree with you. I'd say both characters are rather similar. They both are tomboys and learn to deal with the dangerous world that surrounds them. And they both become dangerous enough to fend for themselves.
