Speaking with Game Informer this week, the screenwriter was able to share some information on how the story of the video game has changed in the movie adaptation, but also stayed faithful.

Just last month, Game of Thrones actress Maisie Williams revealed that she's very close to officially joining the project.

"There was a whole thing that went on Twitter [of fans suggesting me for the role]," the young actress said last year. "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."
