[driqe]

Typical Druckmann

 

[BennyBlanco]

this guy was really good in true detective

 

[VlaudTheImpaler]

 

[Principal]

Most likely not true...

 

[Twinblade]

Not watching that stupid shit.

 

[driqe]

He should be casted instead ^^

 

[LisaMariaMartin]

Black ellie?

 

[Iced Arcade]

blood and brain matter all look the same in the end.

 

[Hudo]

Ellie will be played by Morgan Freeman.

 

[driqe]

Black ellie?

Male ellie?

Edit: ELLIE PORTRAYED BY GIANCARLO ESPOSITO

 

[jonnyp]

He is a great actor and I'm a fan but you have to laugh at the wokeness.

Should be Anson Mount IMHO

 

[Sleepwalker]

Good fit, he will come up against Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson's Abby.

 

[Allnamestakenlol]

Would be funny if true.

 

[kretos]

Black ellie?

 

[TLZ]

Ellie will be played by Morgan Freeman.

 

[Metnut]

World class actor who would do a great job on the show.... but doesn’t really look like the Joel character from the games so I hope they cast someone else.

A big part of the success of Game of Thrones was the excellent casting and how it fit George’s descriptions of the characters.

 

[Hugare]

Great actor, but yeah. Not a fan of changing gender/color of established characters.

We have black characters in TLOU. Asians, trans and etc.

You don't need to change Joel to make the story more inclusive, come the fuck on

 

[CharlieTuna]

Good actor

 

[DonF]

guy is a great actor, but come on....this is the same as white washing...

 

[SlimySnake]

FFS. He's a great fucking actor but dont fucking do this.

 

[Button]

I demand Marlene be played by a white woman then!

Just kidding. Definitely interested in this shos. I wonder if the concept of clickers will be in the show. Or is is just plain old zombies?

 

[Mister Wolf]

Good actor. I don't mind it.

 

[Camreezie]

Black ellie?

Wouldnt need to be ...?

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Black ellie?

Ellie will be played by Morgan Freeman.

Good fit, he will come up against Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson's Abby.

Hahaha!

At least the Chinese guys in the game will be accurately portrayed. Jackie Chan signed up.

 

[Null Persp]

He is an incredible actor but this is stupid.

 

[Allnamestakenlol]

I demand Marlene be played by a white woman then!

Just kidding. Definitely interested in this shos. I wonder if the concept of clickers will be in the show. Or is is just plain old zombies?

Lol - The shit storm that would cause.

 

[RoboFu]

I wouldn’t mind but Joel is an a-hole, not sure if this is a woke thing , but that might back fire on them if it is.

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

 

[Dabaus]

Was going to edgepost but screw it. Comments at 4chan will be great.

 

[Cert.in.Death]

Disappointed by the utter failure of this board to not have used the following:

Spoiler

 

[Virt McPolygon]

People already falling for the bait lmao

 

[StreetsofBeige]

 

[Sander Cohen]

Druckmann’s wife black boyfriend demanded it.

 

[The Hamburglar]

Male ellie?

Edit: ELLIE PORTRAYED BY GIANCARLO ESPOSITO

How meta would it be if Elliot page played Ellie, who was originally modelled after Ellie page.

 

[SJRB]

lol, credible source for sure.

 

[mr.dilya]

I was watching that movie the silencing the other day and I thought the main character would make a real good Joel.

 

[Yselacrey00]

Omg, what the fuck is wrong with americans? Why would you change the characters physical description like that? Joel is not black, nor skinny. Why would you do this? These people are just fucking stupid. You arent correcting anything, Joel is supposed to be white just like ellie is supposed to be gay.

 

[LightofRohan]

Okay...

But there are other races out there, I don't get this incessant need to just flip every white character black. Or just go with a new character or something? They go out of their way to shock people, so then the "woke" can be like, "OMG I LOVE THIS CHOICE, if you don't love it you are racist!"

 

[rofif]

He should be casted instead ^^

yep. he would be amazing

 

[fvng]

Typical Druckmann

What makes it typical?

 

[SlimySnake]

Wouldnt need to be ...?

i think it would. Joel sees his daughter in Ellie, and having a white girl would make it harder.

 

[M1chl]

Would be fitting for all of that Californian sensibilities.

 

[squarealex]

Meh...

 

[SlimySnake]

Lets turn Ellie into a boy. I have the perfect casting.

Even the name fits: Elliot.

 

[Spokker]

Don't even react until it's confirmed. Hopefully it's just bait.

 

[TintoConCasera]

lmao

 

[Jon Neu]

Nanananananananananananananananananananana























Cuckmann!!!!

 

[TheKratos]

I can see the resemblance.

 

[DispatchNinja]

Mo’nique as Ellie and Queen Latiefa as Abbey let’s go.
