Eh, she's been listed on IMDB as rumoured to be playing Ellie for ages now.

Exactly, but it's never been Confirmed, but he talks about it as fact 

Or he doesn't know anything and just thinks it's confirmed. Why would her casting announcement be embargoed? There is no reason at all for press / gaming websites to be told of the casting ahead of an official announcement.

I hope it isn't Maise Williams, because as much as I like her as Arya Stark she is no where near as good an actor as Ashley Johnson, which means her portrayal of Ellie will be inferior to the game's Ellie. Ashley did such a fantastic job of Ellie that it is going to be extremely hard for any teenage actor to do the role justice.
