Tranquilbez Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 I assume most of us are all consumed in gaining information from this years San Diego Comic-Con, but quite possibly one of my favourite announcements so far is the film adaption for a little indie game that nobody with a PS3 played called "The Last Of Us". If you don't believe me here's an article link: Sam Raimi Is Making A ‘The Last Of Us’ Movie, Might Cast Arya Stark I don't know about everyone else but I am overjoyed at the fact that Sam Raimi is involved. Even the possible casting rumours of Bruce Campell and Maisie Williams as Joel and Ellie respectively. So what does everyone else think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fletchar2 Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 I think it'll be made just as soon as the other hundreds of announced videogame to film adaptations that have been announced are made. In other words, I don't see it happening, sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yuppa Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 I would totally have casted Ellen Page as Ellie. Would have been bittersweet too lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadPool Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Please get Hugh Jackman or Dylan McDermott for the role of Joel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure that Bruce will end up getting a cameo somewhere (hell it's a Sam Raimi film you can pretty much guarantee it) but I'd be very surprised if he's picked to play Joel.

Lisalovesbacon Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 I would totally have casted Ellen Page as Ellie. Would have been bittersweet too lol. She looks a bit too old for the role imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't lie Xander if Bruce Campbell is joel, all your faith in TLOU will be restored . Please get Hugh Jackman or Dylan McDermott for the role of Joel. - Hugh Jackman, or Russel Crowe . (Because..kinda dreamy, despite being old ). Although I am still excited about this, but in all honesty I think unknown actors would be best for this! So people see it for the story, not just for the names Edited July 31, 2014 by BinkUncia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kinda know him and he won't be too pleased upon hearing this news... although I think he won't like hearing it from me either.... wonder if he's still pissed I shot him in the ass with Vibranium?

ShinobiHotsuma Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 I'd watch this though cramming everything into two hours I wonder if that would work right, I don't know maybe two is enough time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vegetollo7 Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Honestly I'd rather just play through the game again then watch a live action film version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshtimusPrime Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 A TV mini-series would've made more sense. How can they cram in the struggles, the forming and fracturing of relationships, the horror, the companionship, in two sodding hours? I know Neil Druckmann's behind it as well, but I don't see how this can be any different from most other adaptations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what annoys me most, is that filmmakers what to spend millions of dollars on a movie that might not do as well as they think instead of turning it into a TV show where it might be more critically acclaimed. Movies are too much of a gamble IMO and if it would be turned into a TV show, then the makers of the show can work at a more steady pace and give the game the adaptation it truly deserves.

sum1_worsethan_u Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 As much as I love Bruce Campbell...I don't see him as Joel. The suggestion of Hugh Jackson playing Joel is totally believable though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travla Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 A movie is too short to really be effective. Like others are saying, a series would be perfect. 3-4 seasons maximum not to milk it tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recon he could pull it off, but I'm not sure I would be entirely convinced of Joel's more tortured side, because I think Hugh Jackman is way better at being more gun-hoe . Although..Les Miserables . Although I definitely think he would look the part , and apparently they have considered him for the role. Also apparently Maisie Williams (Ayra Stark) might be Ellie The Last of Us: Hugh Jackman and Maisie Williams as Joel and Ellie in Movie Adaptation of Sony's Zombie Apocalypse Game?

Shanarai Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 I think a TV series would be more effective in terms of explaining the story, but hey, if the movie turns out to be good then no reason for my to complain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HloodyBell Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Joel - Clive Owen Ellie - Clare-Hope Ashitey Bill - Michael Caine Marlene - Julianne Moore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingBaboska Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 After watching the movie Prisoners, Huge Jackman could definitely fit the role of Joel. Pretty much identical to him by the looks and action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sulestra Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 It has been confirmed, the last of us is going to be made a movie, Maybe late 2016. Who would be your choice for the cast? I choose Anson Mount to play Joel: http://static.comicvine.com/uploads/original/11114/111143987/4004744-anson-mount-83669.jpg And to play Ellie would be Maisie Williams who plays Arya stark in Game of Thrones: http://images6.fanpop.com/image/photos/37300000/Maisie-maisie-williams-37385628-1860-1316.png Thoughts?
