The Last of Us : Kaitlyn Dever as Ellie
Re: Kaitlyn Dever as Ellie
All these casting suggestions will be for naught. I don't think this movie is going to ever get made.
Re: Kaitlyn Dever as Ellie
I haven't seen her act (besides briefly on Curb Your Enthusiasm several years ago), but she's certainly got the right look and right height and isn't likely to get any taller at her age. If Druckmann's following her, I'm sure he has his reasons and she would be a good choice.

She's in UC4.

Kaitlyn Dever as Ellie
I saw her name pop up in a fan casting a while back and wasn't convinced. So I watched Short Term 12 and I was sold in the first scene she was in. Her tone of voice, her delivery and her mannerisms are so similar to Ellie's that playing the character would be really natural for her. And isn't that we want in the film? For the characters to appear natural, not like someone is trying to get the accent right (the popular choice Maisie Williams is from the UK remember).
The physical resemblance is also a lot more striking with Kaitlyn Dever too, when she's not wearing heaps of make up you can see she was the same freckle patches under her eyes like Ellie.

Neil Druckmann is also following her on Twitter, I'm hoping this means he's also considering her. It'd be the better choice over Maisie Williams
