The Ellie from HBO's The Last of Us didn't play the game - on the advice of the creators of the series

Game of Thrones star Bella Ramsey plays Ellie in the HBO film adaptation of The Last of Us. Where one would normally expect an actor to become familiar with the character, however, Ramsey was discouraged from playing the game.

During the audition for the role, the 19-year-old was asked if she had played Naughty Dog’s acclaimed title. She said no and was encouraged to keep it that way.

“In fact, I was encouraged not to do that,” Ramsey admits USAToday. “After my first audition, they asked me, ‘Did you play it?’ and I said ‘nope’ and they said ‘leave it at that’.

“I did watch gameplay on Youtube though to get an idea,” she adds.

It is more common for actors to avoid looking closely at role models in order to avoid imitating them.

“But I’m so excited for the show to come out – it’s been such a big part of my life. We shot for a full year, which is a long time when you’re only 19 on Earth.”

“Pedro wrote me a little card at the end. ‘How interesting that something so big and life-changing should happen so early in your life and so late in mine’. I thought that was a sweet observation. I just had a blast. ”

Now that the first trailer for HBO’s The Last of Us has finally aired, we finally have a better idea of ​​how HBO envisions a cinematic take on the Sony blockbuster. The tone seems very close to the original and Pedro Pascal actually looks a little like Joel. I know many don’t see Ramsey as the ideal Ellie, but I think the casting was extremely well done as the young lady was one of the few highlights of the last few seasons of Game of Thrones.

The trailer also features brief glimpses of Tess (played by Fringes and Mindhunters Anna Torv!) and even Riley from the Left Behind DLC and a first clicker make their appearance.

The Last of Us will appear next year on HBO, which probably means Sky or Wow in this country.
