Naughty Dog’s newest rendition of their classic title has been leaking all over the internet. We've reached out to Sony and Naughty Dog for further comment.The Last of Us Part 1 is nearly here. 'We're happy with the final result shown in the cinematic we have released today, and hope the fans like her too,' he added. In a May interview with IGN, creative director Neil Druckmann noted that the team 'decided to modify Ellie’s model to better reflect Ashley ’s personality, and also resemble a slightly younger teen more fitting to the story,' after a few months of development. Naughty Dog says it took pains to fit Ellie to Johnson's performance throughout the Last of Us development process. But that doesn't mean one character is a 'rip-off' of the other actress, just that the uncanny valley effect tends to mask tiny differences in similar faces. You could be forgiven for thinking either actress could have provided the inspiration for either digital character. When their likenesses are converted into virtual forms, though, you can have a hard time differentiating between Johnson's Ellie in The Last of Us and Page's Jodie in Beyond: Two Souls. Page and Johnson don't look dissimilar in real life, but as you can see in the image above, there are enough differences that you wouldn't confuse them on the street. It's true: the visual similarities between the real-life Page and the virtual Ellie have confused a few people on Twitter. Page doesn't want the credit, though, sending one Twitter user toward Ellie's actual voice and mo-cap actress Ashley Johnson in a response tweet just last night.

Page responded, 'I guess I should be flattered that they ripped off my likeness, but I am actually acting in a video game called Beyond: Two Souls, so it was not appreciated.' In an AMA interview on Reddit last night, Page responded to a question about how Ellie both looks and sounds like Page, 'so much so that almost everyone assumed it was you playing the role,' according to the questioner. reader comments 174 withĪctress Ellen Page is not in The Last of Us, no matter how much it might look like she is, and she's lashing out publicly at developer Naughty Dog for 'ripping off' her likeness for the game.
