Forums - Sony Discussion - Ellen Page claims Naughty Dog “ripped off” her likeness

Everyone had been asking if she mo-capped for Ellie long ago. The likeness to her isnt 100% but it is striking.

If Ellen Page means that the character of Ellie looks like her because she has two eyes, a nose and a mouth, then she's absolutely right. Otherwise, I'm not really seeing it. :P



I don't think Ellie from TLOU looks anything like her.

THIS looks like a video game version of Ellen Page


THIS on the other hand looks nothing like Ellen Page.



Not even close.



I was walking down along the street and I heard this voice saying, "Good evening, Mr. Dowd." Well, I turned around and here was this big six-foot rabbit leaning up against a lamp-post. Well, I thought nothing of that because when you've lived in a town as long as I've lived in this one, you get used to the fact that everybody knows your name.

Would it have been so hard for ND just call her up and ask for permission to use her likeness for Ellie, seeing as she is acting in another Sony exclusive game lol?

Maybe because they weren't using her likeness?

"According to The Last Of Us director Bruce Straley, the Ellie character wasn’t even base off of Ellen Page. He described her as “a bit younger” and closer to someone like actress Ashley Johnson."



Not the first "rip off", nor the last...for example, I was always under the impression that original Max Payne was strikingly similar to Mickey Rourke.

Yeah, modified Ellie not so much...original however:



The one person who has a legitimate grievance about game companies using his likeness without paying him is Batman.



90% of the comments in this thread are ridiculous. You guys make it sound like she told ND to go fuck themselves. Calm down people.

And the original Ellie does look a lot like her, which is why ND changed her.

For a Canadian, she sounded pissed.



For the original reveal I thought she did look like her. But when playing the game it never once crossed my mind that Ellie looked like her.
