As you may have heard this week, Ellen Page said she was disappointed that Naughty Dog ripped off her likeness by using her face with Ellie in The Last of Us.
Naughty Dog has responded by saying on twitter:
“Wow! The reaction to @EllenPage’s AMA was overblown-After the announce trailer there WAS initial confusion leading us to revise Ellie’s look”
Naughty Dog is correct on how they changed Ellie’s look, but there are still people out there that don’t notice any differences. It’s probably just a coincidence after all and once Beyond: Two Souls comes out in October, people will realize then that Ellen Page stars in that game instead and not The Last of Us.

July 11, 2013 at 7:03 AMDoesn’t the voice actress sound exactly like her too!? I thought it was strange she was in 2 games. Sure the people on The Blurb video game TV program said it was her too!
Definite shameful rip-off! However, The Last of Us is highly rated, whereas, Beyond Two Souls is basically linear point and click – some of us played Fahrenheit (Indigo Prophecy?)…some may have played Dark Rain too, or whatever it was called. Good story, probably, but little gameplay.

July 30, 2013 at 10:14 AMEllie is definitely way more attractive than Ellen. Rockstar did good.

July 30, 2013 at 5:22 PMYou people in the comments are stupid. It’s called Heavy Rain not dark rain. Beyond: Two Souls isn’t out yet. The last of Us was made by Naughty Dog not Rockstar. It is easy to see the difference in the hairstyle and noses. Also if she sues she would lose because they didn’t rip off her look.

August 16, 2013 at 7:32 AMThis is the equivalent of copying a Ford Mustang getting busted for it and slightly changing the bumper and headlights to make amends…We’re all good now, no harm done, yeah, right, whatever..

August 20, 2013 at 6:17 PMWow. Suing for likeness is a joke. Do you know how many people look the same in the world? Just because you’re famous for that face, doesn’t mean you can collect more money from it if somebody creates an artificial Intelligence in a videogame that looks like you. If so, I’m suing Bungie, cuz they stole the Master Chief’s looks from me, lol.

August 21, 2013 at 3:33 PMHum, was the actual picture of her done after the fact? or was the game done….
While i agree suing for likeness is a joke… unless they advertise it as being promoted by her…. the fact the 2 pictures look exactly the same …… that’s pushing the limits. But that’s why i wonder if the picture of ellen existed prior or if someone photo shopped one of her to look like the coverart after the fact.
That being said, who ever has the 3d model is probably making some…. um… non official games ;)
Hahaman
August 21, 2013 at 3:43 PMFurthermore, watching the trailer (original version before the reedit )and looking up the game more and not using a side by side… i don’t see any resemblance…. it looks just like a generic female.
Has anyone even seen ellen page ……………if it’s a close up(like that) she doesn’t look like a 14 yr old girl she looks like an 80 yr old woman………… i think ellen page is absolutely beautiful.. but if you have to use makeup/airbrushing to achieve a likeness…….. is it really even hers.
