This is really cool. I wonder if they're planning to do the story of Part 2 as well? She would have to age a couple years though...
Yeah, Dever looks like her, but that's a game model.. I think people forget how young teenagers actually look.
Check on him, laugh at him, and remind him how shitty his take was.
Not sure on her as I only know of her brief moments in game of thrones. Will have to look up some of her other shit but I trust neil
I was thinking about making a thread about how annoying this shit is. Shit's ridiculous.
Ellie was born 6 years into the pandemic so yeah, a British accent isn't gonna fly.
I mean she actually believably played a high schooler in Booksmart, though I agree that if we're sticking to 14 years old, then yea that'd be a stretch lol

it's hard not to see this as HBO 'keeping it in the family' and playing favorites here, Ellie has a very specific American accent and it seems weird to cast a Brit. Something tells me we're gonna get a thick new yawk or bawston accented Ellie
now Mahershala Ali would've been fantastic as Joel, which would have made my doubts disappear, but that's apparently not happening
maybe this'll turn out but im skeptical as of this point

Not a fan of the casting. She was very unimpressive in an, albeit limited, role in His Dark Materials season 2.
Booksmart was filmed like 3 years ago. That's a lot of difference to pass as a very young teenager.
That's a good pick, I could also see Jeremy Davies playing him. They both do that wiry and off kilter thing very well.I've said this before, but I think John Hawkes would make for a great David.
she's an awesome choice she's not Hollywood pretty(Perfect in every inch ) she's a more down to earth girl and that's more suited to the tomboyish Ellie look that the character has
It's almost as if actors literally have coaches to help them with accent and it's their job to do it and be able to switch when they have to. Have you ever watched TV?
I didn't realize she was born after the pandemic started.
Regardless, I'd rather have a British accent than a bad American accent.
she will age with the show and naturally grow into it if all goes well that is
Brits are also notorious for having perfect American accents since they grow up watching tons of America media.
Why? It makes no sense.

That's fucking awesome. She was a great Lyanna Mormont and seeing her in more things can't hurt. Really curious to see this show honestly
Well on paper yes, that would be ideal.
I mean I didn't disagree there
Hugh is also 30cm taller than Wolverine is supposed to be, didn't hurt one bit I think. In regards of how the actors should physically "fit the part."
I can see it, accent will be important of course, but I'll wait to hear it first. Shame it seems the Joel rumour was just talks that came to nothing, as that would've made a good Joel & Ellie.
They hire brits all the time as americans and you don't always notice, so it's not that weird.
why, no, i've never seen any sort of media and have no idea how accents work. i had no idea accents could apparently be emulated, and have such a high success rate as to always be authentic and never sound forced or be at all distracting. thanks for the insight.
I have zero interest in a TLOU tv show
This news just changed my mind because that little girl is fucking fierce
