That's a great point...I totally thought Marlowe looked like Helen Mirren when I first saw her. I can see the Cutter/Statham resemblance too. Yeah, game companies have always done this...not sure why it's a big deal.

I don't recall either of those two having a game of their own coming out at the same time of release of Uncharted...

Like many have pointed out, It's not like Ellen Page told Naughty Dog to go fuck themselves, she just gave her humble opinion on a question she probably wasn't expecting.

A lot of people in this thread are swords and shields to protect Naughty Dog... it's annoying.

There's certainly a massive overreaction from both the people downplaying the resemblance AND the people exaggerating it. While Page's comment seemed bitter, unless she actually decides to take legal action, it's silly getting riled up one way or another about this.

I'm not protecting Naughty Dog, nor am I saying Ellen Page told Naughty Dog to fuck themselves. I'm saying it's not a big deal. I don't get why she cares. Who the hell cares if she has a game coming out soon? I don't see how Ellie looking like Ellen Page will have any effect on the sales of Beyond: Two Souls. I'm still going to buy Beyond. It looks like a good game that I want to play. I still like Ellen Page.

Ellen Page can easily be replaced with "Naughty Dog".

My point was made though. Naughty Dog fans will blindly defend Naughty Dog even when there's nothing to defend against. God forbid someone say something bad about Naughty Dog.
