Ellen Page vs. Naughty Dog?
I remember reading a post on Reddit about casting her as the female character if they ever make a movie on the game. The resemblance is there, but this look seems to be the popular today. To be fair to Naughty Dog, animated companies not only ripped off the likeness but entire acts from comedians when they animated shows and movies. Naughty Dog just took a likeness from Page, but I believe they had her in mind.
MC brought this up with Bioshock Infinite with the character of Elizabeth in the promo stuff. I believe the character of Elizabeth went through extensive changes before the release that they completely changed the look.
Page wasn't too pleased with the likeness.
From Video Gamer.com, (("I guess I should be flattered that they ripped off my likeness," said Page, "but I am actually acting in a video game called Beyond: Two Souls, so it was not appreciated."))
And, yeah you can see the likeness in the promotional materiel.
If you remember, Lady Miss Kier from Dee-Lite sued Sega for using her likeness in the game series Space Channel 5. She claimed they asked to use her likeness, but she refused. They used it anyway. She ended up losing the lawsuit and the court forced her to pay the legal fee for Sega somewhere around 600,000. Ouch. So, I am guessing Page won't be suing Naught Dog anytime soon.
By the way, does Ellen Page even age?
