I'm surprised anyone is surprised Ellen Page is gay. I was pretty sure of it long before she came out. Maybe I just have awesome gaydar.

My basis for believing this is that he's now making a movie based on his video game.

So? I don't how that makes you think he's full of himself. I remember Gamespot doing an interview with Bruce and Neil and Gamespot noted that one thing that they noticed is how much respect that they seem to have for their characters and both of them replied quickly "We love them". I think that's why he's writing. Not because of arrogance, which he's never came across as being in any way.
I'm worried about any video game movie, ever, period, and I think it takes a certain degree of nerve to decide to turn your video game into a movie.
Let's be clear, I love The Last of Us, it was the most effective and impacting video game experience of my life -- I was gripped by it -- which is all the more reason I'm skeptical of this endeavor and kind of wish they'd just leave it alone.

Even if he was arrogant, he's earnt it. The writing in TLoU put an entire industry to shame.

Joel: Josh Brolin or Hugh Jackman.
Ellie: Mackenzie Foy from Interstellar.
And looks good with a beard.
And, for my money, is a better actor than Jackman or Brolin.
So many bad posts in this thread....
That's good they picked her. Jake Gyllenhaal or Jack Hughman would be great for Joel's role.
Why wouldn't they just get Ellen Page?

Thank you for this. It inspires a bit more confidence, but I'm still a bit concerned about whether a movie could possibly live up to the game.Here's a link to the comic-con panel with Neil Druckmann and Sam Rami, very interesting and it'll answer a lot of questions you may have. http://youtu.be/xtgZhL8nays?t=7s
Neil talks about how they were approached and that they initially didn't want to do it but that they got a great offer by Sam Raimi (great director and producer) and that he/they have creative control and freedom with the film. So they went ahead with it because it was such a great opportunity. They also pretty much say they are very aware that a straight film-adaption of TLOU will be watered down because of the gameplay, length and immersion that is lost. But that they'll adapt the story differently because it's another medium and have even more focus on Joel and Ellie etc. All in all, so it can reach another audience that can't or would never pick up a controller and play the game.

I completely agree with this choice of castingJoel: Josh Brolin or Hugh Jackman.
Ellie: Mackenzie Foy from Interstellar.
(gif, wait for it)
I don't think Maisie is a good choice, I vote for Izabela Vidovic, her character in "Homefront" is a little like Ellie.

If Hugh Jackman is not Joel, I doubt I'll be interested.

The game borrows heavily from The Road and Children of Men, so I hope they've got a competent director that can compare. I'd like for the movie adaptation to stand out.
I kinda want this to happen too, people are saying she can't pass as 14 anymore, but I think if she really wanted to she could. Give me Hugh Jackman too and I'm down with this movie.
Sam Raimi is directing.
Think he's just a producer for this.
This is correct.
He's a producer. A director hasn't been chosen (yet).
This movie could actually be good if Rami stepped up to direct. I don't think any of these new 'rising star' directors can do justice to the content. The time is now Mr. Rami.
Hating on every imaginable level. Must be a blast to hang with.no videogame movie ever is
but then again I also don't think the game is some super impossibly high watermark of storytelling so it wouldn't be hard to beat with even a modicum of talent behind the project
