Do we know the story of the movie yet? no one said she will be 14 years old.
Well, I mean they're actively talking to a kid to play the role, so that would probably mean the story has her in roughly the same age range as the game.

Hugh Jackman would be horrible...
She is the closest thing to Ellie that we're going to get out of an actress. Good choice. She almost portrayed the same part in Game of Thrones with the Hound.
I'm sorry what?

Like people knocking Her for the role when we haven't seen the extent of what will be displayed. How many people thought ledger as joker wouldn't work? Quite a lot back in the day.
Ha ha, well, I have never heard anyone praise her so I guess that's how anecdotes work.
This story should really stay in videogame format, even if the story of the game can easily be condensed into videos. I can't see this become anything better than mediocre overdramatic movie.
Like how the brilliance of Silent Hill got condensed into a mediocre horror movie, one that was alright, but that lost all the subtlety and greatness of the games. And that second movie was just offensively bad.
Why the hell would they turn Ellie, a 14 year old girl, into a 27 year old woman? The story and character development in TLOU wouldn't make a lick of fucking sense if Ellie was a full grown woman, have you even played the game? smh
Take a look at the concept art i posted above. Again we don't know maybe it's from the movie, who knows... and that Ellie there looks WAY older.
What's the point of a Last of Us movie? The game itself is very cinematic.
Video game movies made by Hollywood typically don't rise above mediocre or overdramatic. I don't see why TLoU would be different, yeah.

And those negate actual real people that I can talk to face to face?!
Well, i better make some calls and give my social circle some disappointing news.
The awesome Manu Bennett as Joel, please!
She and Hitgirl are the only two actress I can think of that can do an Ellie really well. This is a great pick.

I'd argue it's because the source material they're pulling from doesn't rise above mediocre or overdramatic.
Take, for example, Silent Hill. It's a pretty corny story regardless of it's video game roots. Make a movie from that and you'll get a pretty corny movie.
TLOU, though, is actually held back by it's more video gamey parts. So it makes sense to translate that to the big screen.
Again, why on earth would they be talking to a child actor if what you are suggesting is true? It makes zero sense.
Chloe Moretz is a pretty awful actress who can't play anything but Hit-Girl, and in Kickass 2 she could barely do that.
Casting her in what is most likely a performance heavy film would be a crucial misfire.
oh GOD she looks nothing like Ellie cancel the movie CANCEL IT
you see, it's not about looking LIKE Ellie, it's looking like a precious vulnerable flower that needs protection.
Maisie Williams, sadly, isn't a flower. She's fierce.

Not sure if serious, but I'd say Ellie is pretty fierce
And Ellie isn't?
Let's not forget this concept art. It COULD be from the movie.
Actually, that was confirmed as fanart, created by someone who worked on the game's art.
Looks are secondary to the actors ability to be the character and I think there are actors way more suited to fit the role, like Josh Brolin.
Have you seen Prisoners? Jackman is just as brutal as Brolin in OldBoy.
And I'll reiterate that I don't see why people would want to see the low-hanging fruit version of The Road when there's already an abundance of zombie and post-apocalypse media to consume. TLoU is a small time when you consider the big picture of media franchises. I'm sure they'll try their best but we've seen how this goes when movie producers get ahold of a new property and wring it out.
Maisie Williams, sadly, isn't a flower. She's fierce, she's talented. But she doesn't fit the role of Ellie because she's not clasically pretty.
