Ramsey's already seventeen, so by the time the shoot starts she'll most likely be an eighteen year old playing a fourteen year old. This will probably make it easier to continue the series after the four year time jump from the first to the second game, if the show gets picked up for multiple seasons.And...he is too old now. Given that its gonna be little girl Ellie with Joel.
Ellie was never based on Elliot page, at least not officially. But Elliot believed it was, and wasn't exactly happy.Wait wasn't Elie literally based off of Ellen Page at the time? Why not just get him to play the role?
You'd think they could find some real low-profile person who happened to look similar who agree to have the look officially based off them, and thus avoid the issue.At one point Elliot even called out Naughty Dog "I guess I should be flattered that they ripped off my likeness, but I am actually acting in a video game called Beyond Two Souls, so it was not appreciated." and Naughty Dog responded with the usual "didn't realise" etc, and their redesign of Ellie from this to this, was a "complete coincidence".
If Ellie was an adult, I could see the benefit, but seeing as Ellie was again, 14 years old, what parent/guardian would sign their daughter up for a role, that could see her being repeatedly brutally/graphically murdered by zombies/bandits, and have literal death montages uploaded onto YouTube? Oh, and also Rule 34, I guess.You'd think they could find some real low-profile person who happened to look similar who agree to have the look officially based off them, and thus avoid the issue.
You would be shocked what the parents of child actors will sign their children up for. Look at child beauty pageants and all the happy mothers teaching their little toddlers how to twerk if it means she gets more attention.If Ellie was an adult, I could see the benefit, but seeing as Ellie was again, 14 years old, what parent/guardian would sign their daughter up for a role, that could see her being repeatedly brutally/graphically murdered by zombies/bandits, and have literal death montages uploaded onto YouTube?

Naming the character "Ellie" after Ellen Page seemed like begging for a lawsuit too.Im not quite sure what the situation really was for Ellie, and The Last of Us, but they definitely opted for the latter option, following her redesign.
The set pieces really ramped up intensity too, like the one right before the theater, and the truck ride in particular. The better music helped. Would've been better if they respected the importance of pacing and scrapped most of the scavenging through building after building for crafting crap. Hopefully ND works on something less bloated and more light hearted next.Nothing really, apart from it flying in the face of the serious, grounded story it was trying to convey. The one saving grace of this game are the fun and intense stealth action playgrounds.
