Back when the Last of Us movie was first announced, we instantly began thinking of who we would cast in the roles of both Joel and Ellie. While Maisie Williams (Game of Thrones’ Arya Stark) said that she didn’t know a whole lot about the game, she would definitely be interested in the role.
According to Williams, there’s no script, but as far as she’s concerned about starring in the role, “it’s looking like ‘yes.'”
The Last of Us movie will be an adaptation of the game rather than an original story set in TLOU universe. Neil Druckmann is working on the script, while Sam Raimi will be producing. They’re keen on their cast knowing about the game, even going so far as to suggest that Williams watch a walkthough when she was suggested to moderate a Comic-Con panel (she didn’t end up doing that). Even Ellie’s voice actor, Ashley Johnson wants whoever takes the role to have done their homework.
Alright Maisie…get yourself a PS4 and get started on that homework. By the time the movie kicks into gear, you should be ready!
