The actress, best known for her role as Arya Stark, explained that there's currently no script so there's still a way to go before anything's confirmed, but as far as she's concerned "it's looking like, 'yes'".“There was a whole thing that went on Twitter [of fans suggesting me for the role]," she explained. I didn’t know a lot about [the game]. I Googled it. Ashley Johnson — who did Ellie’s voice — [fans] asked her what she thought of me and she said, ‘That’s pretty much my dream.’ I don’t follow her but I was silently stalking her wondering what she thought of all this."I was doing so much work for Thrones that I didn’t want to half-arse do it, so I said I’m not going to [moderate]. They said fine, but they’re gonna announce they had talks. So the way it was left is they want me to do it, and I want to do it. But there’s no script, no director, and no anything else. So at this moment, it’s looking like, ‘Yes,’ but it’s still such early days. If they make it in 30 years, they can’t have a 40-year-old Ellie. So at the moment, it’s looking good, and I’d love to do it. Hell yeah.”While we knew that talks had gone on between Williams, Sam Raimi and Naughty Dog's Neil Druckmann, it sounds from this that the Game of Thrones actress is pretty much a dead cert for the role should the film happen in the near-future. As for the original Ellie, Ashley Johnson, she told us earlier this year that she wants whoever takes over the role to really appreciate it and have done their homework , while she'll merrily settle for playing a clicker.The Last of Us Movie doesn't have a release date, but creator Neil Druckmann has previously confirmed it'll be an adaptation of the game rather than an original story . Druckmann is handling scriptwriting duties, while Spider-Man veteran Sam Raimi will be producing
