They definitely look very alike. I actually used to think that Ellen page was the voice actress for Ellie. That's how much she reminds me of her.
Me to thats crazy
***** When the very first trailer for TLOU played during the VGAs I turned to my friend and said that looks and sounds an awful lot like Ellen Page. Later we found out the character's name was Ellie and the similarities couldn't be ignored. I don't blame Naughty Dog for liking the actress enough to be inspired to use her for a character. Ellen is an amazingly talented actress and she's very cute too! Ashley Johnson did a great job bringing Ellie to life.
If you listened closely then you could hear the difference between Jodie and Ellie's voices. Ashley has a very distinct voice. I noticed that when I watched Blindspot. It's more nasal like. I don't hear that in Ellen's. The only thing I did notice was that Ellie does look like Jodie.
And the fact that they named her Ellie
Omg the whole time I thought that ellen page was the actress of ellie 😲😱
I thought it was Ellen Page playing Elllie the whole time.
Lmao
Same
Nah Ashley Johnson !
Istg 😭😭🥴
The voice actress literally makes her voice like her
I love Ellen but I'm actually happy that she refused to play Ellie. Ashley Johnson was the best for this role, she did an amazing job making Ellie more badass and entertaining and that voice acting..
Fanni Eszes script decides how badass she must be. I dont think it would matter who would play her
Peťo D That is very wrong. The amount of improv, and how well it was done is something amazing and singles out this game, and not just anyone can do it. Naughty dog has said themselves that Ellie was going to be more shy and timid, but Ashly Johnson (Ellie’s voice actress) Took the character to a whole new level, and portrayed her as a badass character. It does matter who does it, how well the voices are done can decide how well the emotional connection works on a person playing, even helps you depict the character better, and adds so much more to the storyline.
Ellen never refused to play 'Ellie'. Naughty Dog just hired a cheap actress to rip her off an imitate her for a fraction of the price. Anything ND have said since is just BS. They stole Page's likeness to cash-in on the hype of her featuring in another game at the time.
@@goatlps Love the fact you have 0 evidence to back that claim. Ashley Johnson is a better actress then Ellen Page anyway.
@ Incorrect, you do need a good script but it's pointless if the execution isn't there. Ashley is better than Ellen.
Ellen Page was the first person I remembered when I looked at Ellie's image on the game cover. They're identical, even after the remastering.
Uh.....no.
Fax
They’ll aren’t
they look nothing alike
You guys seem to be missing the point.
The creators of Beyond Two Souls paid Ellen Page to be in their game.
If Ellen Page allowed the creators of The Last of Us to copy her likeness, then that'll be a huge disrespect to the Beyond Two Souls.
with a rice-cooker Kevin Bacon riding a dragon
who decides they copied her likenesses. a judge? allright.
a judge sees a woman who thinks that a game developer jeopordizes her career by making a simular character.
therefore shell sue the developers who will then say they didn't do it intentionally and they wanted to fit the story.
And then the judges says: WHY WOULD I GIVE A FUCK ABOUT YOUR BLOODY LIKENESSES. BECAUSE THE WOMANS ARGUMENTATION MAKES NO SENSE. BECAUSE THERE JUST OPINIONS AND IMPRESSIONS.
Yes. ellen page can make a big deal just to cover for a shit game. but she shouldn't
and you seem to be missing the point. which is attention-whore.
@@troodonte1 Naughty Dog changed the look of the character to protect themselves from getting sued. Apparently they know the law better than you.
@@noneofyourbusiness4616 lol u tell him
WhoSpasKing your one to talk! Lmao
@@troodonte1 username posting combo checks out
Looks like Ellen Page.
Has the name Ellie like Ellen.
Has similar attitude to Ellen Page.
Is a lesbian like Ellen Page.
Verdict: We find the defendant GUILTY of being a younger Ellen Page from a different Universe with a different timeline.
When was it stated that Ellie was lesbian?
Arliss Caruso Okay. I haven't played it yet. I actually never got a chance to play the game at all, since my PS3 burnt out, so I watched a compilation of the cutscenes and crucial gameplay moments. Kind of like I watched a 3 hour movie.
The Last of Us Remastered (for the PS4) comes with Left Behind as a free expansion. If you invest in the next gen console get the remastered!
Lejundairy
If you watch the last off us DLC it shows that Ellie is a lesbian
The funniest thing is that Ellen Page came out as gay the EXACT SAME DAY that the DLC Left behind came out! They both came out as gay on the same day!
Ellie is cuter and more badass
+John Doe Comparing a fictional character to a real person for being "more cute and badass" ... how honest are u.
+Shire Crawler how much more honest can you get than that?
+John Doe no shit XD
John Doe YES
No she's prettier (Ellen page)
If a great game like the Last of us used my face I would be happy.
John Stevens You clearly didn't listen to the video carefully. He mentioned that Ellen said "I should feel flattered that they ripped off my likeness, but I'm actually acting in a video game calls Beyond: Two Soul, so it's not appreciated." She did feel happy that a video game uses her likeness, but she's already in the making of another video game, so it's not appreciated for Quantic Dream company.
I know I'm just stating how I would feel.
John Stevens Oh, I misunderstand then :)
Thats okay
+Leon Truong misunderstood*
Yeah, we have to admit that Ellie and Ellen Page are aparently "the same" . But i really dont think that Naughty Dog, one of the best companies of videogames, do something like that. So i really dont think its the same one... Anyways, i dont care to much about, the game is excelent! With or with not Ellen Page. But i know that shes little angry, because they are like i said before "aparently the same"
definitely stolen likeness... because I always thought Ellen Page played Ellie. I just found out now that it wasn't her.
same here
she looks like alot like the voice actor ashley
Same here (I reckon 7 billion people in the world would definitely the same) but you know what? She's perfect. xD
It is her but not officially, so it's kind of a stole with the excuse that many people on earth are similar n bla bla bla, we used different voice, but we get good revenue from the attractiveness of Ellen page that she has on gamer nerdy kids
@@davideconsolo2166 They didn't model Ellie off of Ellen Page. You're a moron if you think so. They would have had to pay for her likeness. And it's not like they would've tried to secretly do it without paying, NaughtyDog has way more integrity than that.
I'm actually kind of glad, Ellie's redesign fits the character more- she's more spunky, rough around the edges.
They look very similar.. I can see her point.. it's like the character designer in naughtydog said... change her eye colour and wow my creation is totally different XD
First of all, Ellie looks much younger than Page. Secondly, a lot of people look the same. There's only so much variation within our species.
yeah but still you have to admit the similarities are surprisingly alike
That's cause Ellie IS younger.....
Underrated Critic you mean white people look the same
My dream is to be black someday :(
SO it ripped the likeness of a younger her.... You sure have a full-working brain.
Ellen Paige is just mad because Last of Us over shadowed whatever game she was apart of
***** Good for you...
***** You're welcome.
I know it's ridiculous. They don't even look alike. The only way they even look similar is that picture they showed. Other then that it is just Ellen Page grasping at straws.
@@justinwright1745 Thought I was the only one. Like the only thing they have in common physically is their hairstyles. You gonna sue a company for copying a hairstyle?
The best thing that could have happened. Ellie as Ellen Page would not be the character we love.. Glad they changed their minds.
PlaystationCG Ashley was perfect as Ellie
yes i %100 agree with you
*ellen page as ellie not the other way around you idiot
agreeed
WTF? Are you deaf & blind? She's even a lesbian. Total rip-off to confuse people that this was the game she was in - there was hype about it at the time.
Anyone thank Chloe grace moretz should play ellie
I don't really see it.
I think they already casted the role for Ellie. I may be wrong, but I think it's some young actress who I'm unfamiliar with. But I do agree with you, She'd be an amazing Ellie.
yes yes yes yes yes yes
OH MY GOD YES YES YES.
To be honest, I alwasy thought that Ellen Page was playing Ellie. I mean, considering how well received and outstanding the game turned out, I would take it as a huge compliment and even a sign of respect if developers for Naughty Dog did indeed use part of Ellen's facial structure for Ellie. To each his/her own, I guess though
its all about fame and shit even Lindsey Lohan's likeness was on GTA5 and the actress in the game thats suppose to resemble that chick does things that arnt good and famous ppl like her see that as a type of demeaning portrayal of them. and get mad thinking that the game makers are trying to make them look bad.
More to do with image rights and potential earnings. No one will ever pay a famous actor a large sum now that they know you can hire a cheap, unknown actor to impersonate them and fool the world.
Rockstar used to use expensive actors (and expensive songs) but, sadly, now know they can just be cheap.
Yeah but she's making a living with her face basically, so if anyone's gonna use her likeness in a game should also pay her for that.
her face, her name, her sexual orientation, comon dude its obvious what they did. They literally tried to put Ellen Page in their game and not pay her for it. The fact that she was acting in another game at the same time makes it worse because they are stealing the hype from that game that is going about it the right way. I'm actually just finding out about this now because this whole time I thought it was her, that's how bad of a job they did of hiding their blatant rip off of her.
Same
Oh please.... Even Stevie Wonder could see that Elle is blatantly modeled after Ellen Page. This time Naughty Dog was too naughty.
*"Stolen likeness? Or totally different character?"*
Those two are not mutually exclusive.
Face looks similar, name is similar and their orientation is the same... This couldn't be an accident 😆
That girl could never hope to ever be as cool as Ellie.
***** Did Ellen, survive a zombie apocalypse? No.
***** you are so sad ;c
Lejundairy Well said, dude.
***** Doesn't matter. Stories of fictional characters are much more inspiring than the stories of "V.I.P.s".
***** " But you cant compare a Fictional characters achievements with a real Living Persons achievements." Tell that to the fangirls. ;)
Hahaha, the last of us is considered to be "the game that will define this generation" and you don't hear anyone talking about beyond two souls
nabidc61 Beyond is good but it has a lot more flaws and faults than The Last of Us.
Naughty dog bot, hello. Writing fake comments won't help you.
WTF has that got to do with them being cheap and stealing her image rights? TLoU certainly was overrated as "Defining a generation" - nothing ground-breaking, linear, poor puzzles, little gameplay variety, and is completed within a week with no replay value.
Bc beyond is underrated and tlou is overrated
@@goatlps well, Beyond was even less groundbreaking, less linear, had almost no puzzles, had almost no gameplay variety, and is also easily completed within a week with no replay value.
I think it's reasonable. Even if it was accidental, you have to admit they look similar. Having similar characters in games coming out close to each other isn't a good move.
Chloe Grace Moretz would absolutely be the perfect choice to play Ellie in The Last of Us movie! She has the physicality for it as well as the raw emotion. Her voice sounds a lot like Ellie as well :)
Well said.
I just can't image her swearing so much.
Lyrica Carswell Ummm have you seen her in Kick-Ass? LOL
BoxxyFan Nope.
Lyrica Carswell One of the movie made her name and you haven't seen it ?
What if she have a twin Sister lookalike would she sues her sister
lmao good question...
well... for those who say they didnt 'rip off' ellen's likeness, you have to admit they, at least, were greatly inspired by her... even her name...
i really like ellen and ellie tho :)
Ellen, don't flatter yourself.....Ellie is actually better looking!
Honestly I don't think they look alike. They have the same hair style sometimes but I think Ellie looks more like her voice actress
Ashley has high cheekbones, Ellie has more rounded cheeks like Ellen. Ashley has a pointy nose, Ellie has a more rounded nose like Ellen. Ashley has a round chin, Ellie has a more narrow chin like Ellen. Ashley and Ellie are almost opposites while Ellen and Ellie look like they could at least be related.
Ellie was fucking amazing, i would be honored to have a character like that modeled after me.
They have different personalities because Ellie is fun and charming and Ellen page is bland and boring
*****
how do you know?
*****
ah, so because the characters she is portraying are awesome and funny, she must be as well in real life. Got it, makes sense.
***** seems like you need to chill, not me, lol. an interview is work btw, she is promoting a product. She`s as real doing it as you are, when you have a sales talk in your daily 9 to 5 job.
ellie, isn't charming whatsoever
***** danm lazy ass i had a job as a paper boy when i was 7, but then again the new generation is full of fat lazy kids
They totally ripped off her likeness. Her name is "Ellie" for crying out loud. It's like they designed the character wanting to cast Ellen page and then couldn't get her
Ellen Page is just jealous because shes not getting paid for Ellie looking like her.
I mean... Of course it was ripped off, it looks/looked exactly like her. Nobody should be offended that she didn't appreciate it simply for the fact she was going to appear in Two Souls and well, it's just weird. "Hey look it's Ell[ie]en Page." *Play Two Souls* "Hey look it's Ellen Page." She could have sugar coated her words but all in all she said the flattered part and hey, two master pieces in gaming IMO. Win, win.
Nope, not right, wrong, incorrectly wrong.
She has freckles.
I don’t blame her actually, if they told me that Ellie was a copy of Page, I would have believed them. Hell, they both look alike, has similar names and both turned out to be homosexual.
even the name lol, Ellen/Ellie. It can't be a coincidence, i think someone watched hard candy and was heavily inspired, not just the look but the character Ellen plays in that is around the same age as Ellie and VERY similar
It’s Elliot Now
I assumed it was based on her and thought it was her voice before I looked into it.
um it lis literally another actor playing her, tf are you talking about? it's literally modeled after ashley johnson, i'm glad that she refused ellie's role. like, it's not ellie's likeness to her, it's ashley's likeness to her.
They made changes to ellie's appearance to make her more like ashley after ellen spoke up
I'm gonna say that is it is kind of a rip off. I remember when everyone thought that Ellie was voiced by Ellen cause she looks and sounds so much like her. People had to correct them and tell them that the voice was of Ashley's. If you don't know it is not Ellen, you for sure think it is her. So yeah, total rip off. Hell even the names, Ellie and Ellen, are very similar, and thanks to "Left Behind" we find out that Ellie is at least bi, if not lesbian, just like Ellen.... Similar voice, look, name and even sexual preference. It can't be coincidence can it?
if u saw juno the movie u'll c how much ellie look like ellen in so many ways i mean her cloths her character the comic books everything!
If Ellen played Ellie, we would probably get a Max Caulfield type of character.
I like the 'new' Ellie anyways. The change was awesome.
Uh huh, hell yeah they did! That doesn't make Naughty Dog bad. Her likeness was inspired by Ellen Page, initially.
Good point, but the character was inspired by ellen page. page didn't want to participate because she was already involved in Beyond: Two Souls.
Last of Us is still the best game ever though.
+CoditalHB Inspiration evidence: www.theverge.com/2013/6/24/4458368/ellen-page-says-the-last-of-us-ripped-off-her-license
Beyond Two Souls Evidence:kotaku.com/famous-actor-sounds-upset-about-the-last-of-us-ellie-551365129 (Literally the first two searches that popup when you type in 'Ellen Page Last of Us')
Ellie's design was inspired by Page. They redesigned it slightly to fit with Ashley Johnson.
***** Oh my god whatever. I don't care anymore. just play the game and enjoy it
***** Good day :)
A face can only have so many features, people look alike, deal with it.
+Udalix Llew Dude...in real life you may say "people look alike". But when it's about a character for a game, created "on purpose", the similarity cannot be considered a coincidence, deal with it. :/
deesustro Well they do not look exactly the same. Having similar features, which exists in real life, person to person, it's silly to try and say your likeness was ripped of. A person cannot own a (or set of) facial feature.
+Udalix Llew Nobody said Ellen Page owns her look. She didn't even sued Naughty Dog, she just adressed it. But you've got to admit they are EXACTLY, totally EXACTLY and identically the same, only Ellie is younger. Still The Last Of Us is the best game of all times.
+MrNaranhito I don't get why Ellen page say riped off my likness. The Ellen character in game is so lovely.
Eunil Lee Well, the reason of her annoyance was probably the fact that she was starring the main character in the videogame ''Beyond'' wich was released kind of at the same time I think (not sure), plus companies pay loyalties for this kind of stuff. The character of Ellie is indeed lovely as you said, though.
In all fareness I thought the actress playing Ellie was played be Ellen Page for a long time because the sculpt looked so much like her. That happens sometimes when the character model is developed earlier on. All the hateful comments towards Ellen Page is really unnecessary
Now they can’t say they did. Fellas a bloke 😭😭😭
FUCK! thats why Jodie from Beyond Two Souls reminded me so fucking much of Ellie from The Last of Us.
"I guess i should be flattered that they ripped off my likeness but I am already acting in another video game so it's not appreciated." wait, what?
I do see a resemblance between Ellie and Ellen Page, but I also see a resemblance between Ellie and Ashley Johnson. I feel that Ellie was created to kind of model an Ellen Page-like character but Ashley did such a phenomenal job that when I see or hear Ellie, I think of Ashley... I don't think Ellen could come close to the performance that Ashley did.
Ah shut up Elliot. Just cos a character looks like u doesn’t mean they ripped u off. I didn’t even notice it resembled her
*ellen
I think the voice acting and looks about Ellie goes perfect together. I probably wouldn't have liked the game if it was any different.
She may have said "Not appreciated", but she didn't go further than that. Some people sue game companies for similar looks.
Lmao she dreamt she looked as good as our baby girl
Ellie looks more like a real person than Ellen Page, sorry Ellen lol
Makes 0 sense.
Marvin S. OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
burn
Marvin S. Thats utterly the most dumbest shit ive ever heard.
She's so self important
If anything I think Chloe Grace Moretz could play Ellie they're very similar I'm not saying the character is based of off her
She can't say that now. 🤣
Ellen page could never have voiced Ellie as well as Ashley Johnson did just sayin
as a fan of both of these games, I think it was simply an oversight. it happens. no reason to freak out about it. I was kinda disappointed in Ellen page, because I like her as an actress, and in beyond two souls.
I taught it was Ellen page aswell for years
You seen her likeness now though 💀💀 she shoulda been happy
Is it bad that I want Ellen Page for the 🎥 the last of us movie?
But I think directors aren't gonna approach her for that role if they did I'm hella sure she'd be in the movie or TV show.
For the original Ellie model? Yes they completely ripped Ellen Page off. But I love the fact that they did remodel her because when I first saw the 2011 VGA trailer for this game, I was like "This must be a father-daughter experience in a zombie world." I personally thought Ellie was actually around the age of 20. When I played the game for the first time (this was before I knew of this Ellen Page stuff) I was honestly shocked that she was only 14. For me though, I love the new model of Ellie because it shows off her personality and that she's not your average teenager. And I also like the fact that the new Ellie is a lot cuter.
I've always known from the back of my mind that she's Ellen. The character was even named after her. I was kinda surprised that she wasn't.
So what if Ellie was ripped off from Ellen Page? Who gives a fuck?
I mean, i love Ellen Page, but she doesn't own the look of the plain looking brunette tom boy. Ellen Page doesn't really have a distinct look, she just looks like an everyday girl, so nothing she said makes any sense. Ellie is Ashley Johnson both physically and personality wise.
Well at least she didn't sue Naughty Dog like cough(Lindsay Lohan). Good sport Ellen Page.
It is in there for multiple things such as most cut scenes etc. But what it is really famous for is having the first open world game to NOT require a loading screen :D
I aways tought she was the actress behind Ellie
you can still see the resemblance when you look at their noses, lips and eyes, even the eyebrows. Sure, they added alot more things to Ellie that Ellen Page doesn't have, green eyes, freckles, the cut on her eyebrow and so on.
Ellie doesn't look anything like her voice actor though (still, kudos to Ashley for bringing Ellie to life with her voice, she's done an amazing job), so I guess Naughty Dog only pulled that move to avoid an argument. :)
ellen page used to have freckles
It's weird because in some of the posters for The Last of Us Ellie looks a lot more like Ashley Johnson but in the game she totally reminds me of Ellen Page.
Conspiracy Alert! Ellen Page tried to look like Ellie and she really looks like a piece of shit without make-up. Anyone else agree?
Colton The G How can Ellen Page try to look like Ellie from a video game when that's actually Ellen's face.
She had like wunna does facials and I aint talking bout nun dat face scrub shit im talkin like total face re-arrangement. Plus its amazing what makeup can do nowadays
Ellen Page was right to disapprove (they even named the character Ellie!), but the whole thing would have been no big deal if Page hadn't actually been licensed in the other game. Interestingly, I thought the final product was cuter than Ellen Page. The voice actress also has a much cuter voice than Page.
Games developers usually try to come up with original character designs. Partly to avoid being sued, but also because they want to be original.
As for all other questions you may have on this matter, read my replies to everyone else who just doesn't get this.
I sure... this is stolen likeness. I recently discovered that ashley Johnson was ellie's voice actress, i always believed that ellen page was ellie's actress (forgive my english)
She should be proud.
1. whos ellen page?
2. ND can't ''rip off'' someones likeness. even not when they see someone they like and make a character of their looks. they have a choice to develop their characters and have a right to use examples. im not saying they used ellen page. could be coincedence.
3. without hearing ND part, page decides that nd ripped off her looks.
4. this channel is another one of those gossipchannels who make their own story after hearing or reading another. and just are not creative enough to make original content. for me this no longer credible after the first sentence. you just notice by the tone of his voice.
5. the last of us is a far better product than page will ever deliver. so she ripped off TLOU.
6. what difference does it make to have a likeness in a game and be casted for another.
Lmao dude you know naughty dog wanted ellen page to ply ellie but ellen choose to go with Beyond 2 souls btw amazing game so
And guess what ellen page is gay so ellie is gay to pretty akward
DeathJesus420BE Nd also said that no one could match ashley johnsons performance as ellie. thats a bit contraversial with me.
and the fact they're both gay doesn't make much of a difference.
DeathJesus420BE Voice Actor's Sexuality =/= Character's Sexuality.
Jasper Verhoef
1) A successful actress who starred in Inception- one of the highest grossing films ever made, as well as several other films and TV shows.
2) Yes they can. There is legal precedent for this. They can't do it anymore than Old Spice can get a Brad Pitt look alike to star in one of their commercials, for example
3) Not sure what your point is. They clearly used her likeness without her permission and without paying her.
4) The fact that they did not break this story is irrelevant. You judge a person's credibility based on the tone of their voice? I don't even know what to say to that.
5) Now you can see the future? Not to mention Page has already made Inception which has found a bigger audience than The Last of Us and was universally critically acclaimed as well as an equally successful to TLOU video game. How you reach the conclusion that she somehow ripped off Naughty Dog by having her image stolen is beyond me. Insane is not a big enough word for that assertion.
6) We've already covered this. Her person and her name is her product. This is no different than some small soda company getting their hands on Pepsi's recipe and selling a clone. If they want her likeness to use in a game they must enter into a contract with her and compensate her. It's not a difficult thing to understand.
I get that you like The Last of Us. So do I. One of my favorite games ever made. But you are letting your fandom cloud your judgement. What they did to Ellen was unethical and legally actionable on her part. They will be very lucky if she doesn't sue them. It is clearly her face in the game.
Ellie looks much better and much prettier then Ellen, heck the voice actress of Ellie won a video game award beating Ellen for it
The design of Ellie completely took over the publicity that Ellen Page would have received for her game, and so a lot of people thought they were getting the game with Ellen Page when in reality they were buying into a facade put on by Naughty Dog.
It's completely dishonest, and rude of them to create a character like Ellen Page, NAME HERE ELLIE, and then on top of that release the game at nearly the same time as Ellen's game.
They were truly stealing her image.
even the name lol, Ellen/Ellie. It can't be a coincidence, i think someone watched hard candy and was heavily inspired, not just the look but the character Ellen plays in that is around the same age as Ellie and VERY similar
Yeah but....Ellie is kinda hot for a video game charecter
Really, mate. What the feck?
***** I can see where your coming from but cod has nothing to do with it
*****
What if he's 25? or 45? Your correlation between potential peadophile tendancies and COD players being "punks" is confusing - the two issues are utterly different. The guy didn't even mention COD or COD players, never mind their "punk" characteristics (or lack thereof).
andy7666 COD is for nerdy virgins, gtfo with that crap.
do i know you? is your psn skullcrusher239?
ellie looks more like ellen page in the last of us than the actual motion sensor work done for beyond two souls. there are differences. and i think ellen page should really be flattered more than anything. am glad ellen page didnt try to sue. this shows good character. i mean even the names are close. ELLIE AND ELLEN. come on. the last of us is an amazing game. ellie is cute. and so is ellen page. and if you say they dont look alike. your lying and your not fooling anyone. we can obviously see with our own eyes. thats the great thing about sight. you cant contradict someones sight.
Of course she looks like her, since the first trailer from 2011 I thought that, I just feel dumb that I've never thought that the names were close hahaha good one. And for those who say Ellen Page is not cute, she's pretty cute IMO, like Ellie, well at least physically speaking, because Ellie's character is unique.
Personality rights are generally considered to consist of two types of rights: the right of publicity, or to keep one's image and likeness from being commercially exploited without permission or contractual compensation, which is similar to the use of a trademark; and the right to privacy, or the right to be left alone and not have one's personality represented publicly without permission.
The whole point is that it's all very well for her to say it and someone to post them side by side with similar hairstyles and poses, but in no way does that mean that it's a stolen likeness. Compare this to Ryder from GTA: San Andreas ripping off Easy E.
Ellen Page always is so Perfectly Beautiful/Hot in the Games.
I agree
so you think the 14 year old teenage girl is hot? alrighty then.
MonkeyKing Mo-Ri 😆
I think it was intended to make her look similar to Ellen Page, but as we know of movies and now video games is Ellen the perfect actress for complex characters that struggle in developing themselves and go through drastic changes of character. For example Juno,Inception,An American Crime and Beyond. So i personally dont think that they are blamable for using these similarities from Ellen to create emotion through Ellie (Oops name similarities too ;), nor can Ellen be blamed for having this distinct look that makes people cry if she wants them to... But id really like to see her in more lead roles in games or movies of sorts. My favorite actress since An American Crime and Juno ;)
***** Yeah, thats true, but i guess shes always doing what she likes best or thinks is best, but would be cool to see her in a few more games :D
***** Yeah me too :D
It's entirely coincidental. There are a lot of people who look similar. People used to mistake me with another girl at my school all the time.
Apparently people don't understand the concept of likeness. Of course they took her likeness. They can make the character look like anything and it looks like the star of a competing game? Coincidence, I'm sure.
Ellie was perfect.
It's soo funny how Ellie looks much more like Ellen Page W/O her needing to be there, yet Jodie from Beyond Two Souls looks barely like Ellen Page... Bahahaha
its because naughtydog is that awesome!
Thats real funny when you need glasses. Go look at a comparison of Jodie and Ellen then come back because they look identical.
Yeah, Ellie comes to mind when I play that game, she's her own character in my book, that's how well made she is.
If Ellen was Ellie....hold up.
Ellie doesn't look like ashley at all but I don't think that they stole ellens looks. Anyway, both Beyond Two Souls and The Last Of Us is great games. x
i would be proud as fuck' Ellie was fucking awesome.
How the hell did she think that?
They did model it after her (if markiplier was correct) and when she left abruptly they didn't have time to remodel ellie
ever their name is similar ellie ellen
She is no longer a she so who cares.. lol
Nope still a she.
Dude. This video was 10 years ago
Ellie still looks more like ellen page than the voice actress...
the problem is she's in beyond two souls and she didnt want people to mistaken her for the last of us instead...
I'm so glad that Ashley Johnson was the voice of Ellie
Well to bad cuz her part 2 design is different
yah...Ellen does look like Ellie..
Didn't know you can copyright how you look.
They are identical.... I don't see how one could argue otherwise
