澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Last of Us showrunner Craig Mazin has spoken about the process of finding their Ellie – Game of Thrones’ Bell꧂a Ramsey – for the upcoming series.
Despite Pedro Pascal’s seamless leap into the lead role of The Last of Us ("I remember talking to him thinking, ‘There he is. It’s happening already. He is Joel,'" Mazin recalls), the showrunner tells 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:SFX magazine in the new issue that ca𒐪sting Ellie waꦫs an altogether much more difficult experience.
"Ellie took longer because it’s a harder role to cast," Mazin explains. "We’re trying to cast a 14-year𒅌-old girl and acting is an incredibly difficult thing to do, right? It’s an easy thing to do terribly. It’s a hard thing to do okay. But it’s a really, really hard thing to do brilliantly. And children haven’t had that much life experience. It&rsqu🐬o;s hard to find kids that can embody this.
"Plus, she needs to be funny, tough, violent and protective of herself. S🐻he also needs to make us beওlieve that she’s going to have this connection with Joel, so it took longer. We saw over 100 people."

One of those 100 was Bella Ramsey. Mazin, though, was the first to see her audition ahead of his creative partner (and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Naughty Dog co-president) Neil Druckmann 🐽– something he wa🥃s worried about.
"The only fear that I had was because I watched her audition before Neil did, I was panicked that he wouldn’t like it and I would🌸 have to live for the rest of my life knowing that we couldn’t have the best Ellie ever," Mazin laughs. "But happily, he loved her. And we couldn’t have done better. She’s just the most remarkable performer."
