Maisie Williams in Talks to Star in ‘The Last of Us’ Movie #SDCC
If you weren’t already foaming at the mouth for Sony’s film adaptation of developer Naughty Dog’s The Last of Us, this news ought to change that. With Sam Raimi producing and Naughty Dog writer and director Neil Druckman penning the script, it’s clear they’re taking the source material seriously. But with the roles of Joel and Ellie still left unfilled, there’s a fair amount of pressure that they get the casting right.
At a secret Comic-Con panel, Raimi and Druckman showed they’re at least looking in the right direction. While it’s not set in stone, actress Maisie Williams, better known as Arya Stark to Game of Thrones geeks like myself, is currently in talks to star as Ellie.
This needs to happen.
In related news, Sony Pictures just tweeted a picture of a limited edition poster for the upcoming film, which you can see below.
Sony returns to their own Marvel universe with the upcoming Kraven the Hunter, which has been bumped all over the release schedule. This week, it’s been bumped once more.
There was a time when Sony was going to unleash Kraven in theaters in October 2023, but the film was then bumped to August 2024. It’ll now release on December 13, 2024.
Kraven the Hunter will be the very first Marvel movie from Sony to be released into theaters with an “R” rating, with lots of bloody violence being promised.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson stars as the title character, Marvel’s ultimate predator.
“Kraven the Hunter is the visceral story about how and why one of Marvel’s most iconic villains came to be. Set before his notorious vendetta with Spider-Man, Aaron Taylor-Johnson stars as the titular character in the R-rated film.”
Ariana DeBose will play Calypso in the upcoming Kraven the Hunter movie.
Christopher Abbott (Possessor) is playing The Foreigner, with Levi Miller (Better Watch Out) also on board. Alessandro Nivola (The Many Saints of Newark) will play another villain, but character details are under wraps. Russell Crowe and Fred Hechinger also star.
J.C. Chandor (A Most Violent Year) is directing Kraven the Hunter.
The screenplay was written by Art Marcum & Matt Holloway and Richard Wenk.
