"We don't know what's going on with other games." "We didn't even know what was going on with that," Straley told us. The redesigned Ellie as she appears in the released game.īoth games are published by Sony - The Last of Us by Sony Computer Entertainment America, and Beyond by the European branch. Naughty Dog has said that it's a "complete coincidence" that the studio changed the appearance of Ellie in The Last of Us after she was said to resemble Ellen Page - and before the actress was confirmed as the star of Quantic Dream's Beyond: Two Souls. "And we really want to respect Ashley for the great performance that she's giving us." "We went a little bit younger, and we think that we got a little bit more Ashley inside of there, which we like," game director Bruce Straley told Eurogamer at E3 2012. In May 2012 Naughty Dog announced it had redesigned her so she more closely resembled the actor that plays her: Ashley Johnson. The Last of Us' Ellie as she was originally designed. When The Last of Us' Ellie was revealed observers remarked that she looked similar to Inception and Juno star Page. It’s something about her nose being more upturned.Actress Ellen Page has accused Naughty Dog of ripping off her likeness for PlayStation 3 exclusive The Last of Us. In fact, I kind of think the new Ellie looks more like Page, weirdly. Naughty Dog may have originally based Ellie on Ellen Page and subsequently changed her design around to resemble Ashley Johnson a little bit more, but it’s still pretty dang close. Poor Ellie can’t catch a break, huh?Įllie’s voice is actually played by Ashley Johnson, who you might remember as the cute blonde waitress from The Avengers - or, if you’re kinda pretentious, as Margaret from Joss Whedon’s Much Ado About Nothing. Now she’s suggesting that they intentionally ripped off her likeness, which she really doesn’t appreciate.
So I understand why Ellen Page is kinda annoyed already that everyone’s noticed what a striking resemblance she bears to the 14-year-old Ellie from The Last of Us. It must suck to be a celebrity who looks like a fictional character that wasn’t actually played by you - like, I bet at this point Nicolai Coster-Waldau wants to throttle everyone who’s ever asked him about being Prince Charming from Shrek.
