I’ve been writing about video games, television and movies for Forbes for over 10 years, and you may have seen my reviews on Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic. I cover all manner of console and PC games, but if it’s about looting or shooting, I’m definitely there. If I’m watching something, it’s usually science fiction, horror or superheroic.
The casting of Bella Ramsey in The Last of Us was always a bit controversial given that they didn’t much resemble the in-game character of Ellie. But as season one aired, they did a great job and channeled the character all the same, helping propel the series to be a big hit.
Season 2, however, is a bit different, and after a time-skip that moves things five years into the future, that results in achange in the looks and age of Ellie from the first game to the second. But on the show, it seems that’s going to be more difficult to convey.have shown Bella Ramsey and Isabela Merced, who will play Dina, on set.
One issue here is that Bella Ramsey...just looks young for their age. They were 17 when they started shooting The Last of Us season 1, so a few years older than the character they were meant to play. Now, they’re 20, playing…a 19 year old. But Ramsey still looks as young as they did in 2021 when TLOU was start to film.One question is whether or not there will in fact be a five year time-jump here, or if the show may change that to make it shorter.
like their game counterparts. Again, it did not matter that Ramsey did not look very much like Ellie because they did a great job. Now, I don’t think it matters if the 20 year old Ramsey looks more like 15 than 19, or how big Dever’s biceps are going to be. The point is the story, the characters. If those can be channeled, like we saw in season one, that’s the most important thing.
Also this is…a blurry set shot. Not a full look at Ramsey’s Ellie look anyway, so even in that sense, it’s too early to judge.Our community is about connecting people through open and thoughtful conversations. We want our readers to share their views and exchange ideas and facts in a safe space.
