TLOU movie would do well as long as it's Hugh Jackman and Ellen Page.

Steve Buscemi as Nolan's Character
And Michelle Rodriguez as Tess.

I thought you were being serious about the casting for a moment, and then saw Ellen Page for Ellie.

Aside from the fact that Ellen Page has ripped Naughty Dog for aping her likeness without permission or acknowledgement, which would probably make her rather negatively disposed towards taking part in the movie, there is no way she can possibly pull off playing a 14-year old girl. She's nearly 30, that's too old to do 14.

There's been talk of Maisie Williams, but honestly I'm not sure she's right for the role. I don't know teen / early 20s actors aside from the ones in Game of Thrones so I have no idea who would actually be good to play Ellie. Certianly Ellen Page 10 years ago would have been great. Abigail Breslin is almost 20, so she might still be sufficiently young enough to pull off 14, but really I think to play a convincing 14 the actor needs to be under 18, or freakishly young-looking. 

Josh Brolin suits the role of Joel much more than Jackman, but I think Jackman would be a bigger draw card.

I would prefer a bigger name than Michelle Rodriguez for Tess. It's a small role but it would also be a big draw to have a big name attached. If Charlize Theron isn't cast as Captain Marvel I'd want to shag snag her. After Mad Max she has huge cred for action and hard arsed characters. Plus she's one of the best actors around. Emily Blunt would be great too after her role in Edge of Tomorrow.

Steve Buscemi as David is sooooo right.
