Summary
Praised as being one of PlayStation’s greatest adventures, it was only a matter of time before an adaptation ofHorizon Zero Dawnwould eventually make its way to the big screen. Now with the news thatSonyis finally turning the beloved gaming title into a movie, fans have been sharing who they want to play as the outcast and brave warrior Aloy, and it seems as though oneGame of Thronesstar is high on the list.
Released in 2017 on the PlayStation 4,Horizon Zero Dawnbecame a huge hit for Guerrilla Gamesand even surpassedNo Man’s Skyas the console’s biggest launch since Naughty Dog’sUncharted 4: A Thief’s End.Selling over 20 million copies around the world across PS4 and PC,Horizon Zero Dawn’s environment portrays a futuristic world that has been infiltrated by giant animal machines that resemble prehistoric creatures. In a bid to understand its world better, as well as her own past, Aloy, voiced by Ashly Burch, takes on an epic and dangerous journey to rescue tribal clans, while unraveling ancient secrets.
Fans Want One Game of Thrones Actor To Play Aloy in Movie Adaptation
Even though details on theHorizon Zero Dawnmovieare currently non-existent, that hasn’t stopped fans from wanting Rose Leslie to step into the shoes of the Nova Brave warrior and the main protagonist of theHorizonseries. It’s certainly easy to see why fans would want Leslie to play Aloy, as the feistyGame of Thronescharacter bears a remarkable resemblance to Guerrilla’s character, even right down to her bow and arrow skills, which would come in very handy if the actor got the role due to how much archery action that is in the game.
Leslie would make a fantastic Aloy, but it seems as though there’s another actor thatHorizon Zero Dawnenthusiasts would also like to see in the role. OnReddit, ongoing discussions have revolved around Sophia Lillis, an actress known for her roles inIt: Chapter Twowhere she played the young Beverly Marsh, as well as other movies that include HBO’sSharp ObjectandDungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves. Although she might not be as big of a household name as theGame of Thronesactor, known for her iconic saying “You know nothing, John Snow”, Lillis seems to be another popular choice. She would also make for a good Aloy when it comes to her age, as Leslie might be slightly too old to play the 20-year-old machine hunter.
TheHorizon Zero Dawnmovie was once set to release on Netflix, but after many years of development by showrunner Steve Blackman, the series didn’t materialize,eventually announcing that it was canceled. Due to the movie only being in early development, there are no guesses about when it will release as yet, but hopefully soon, fans will hear more about who it will cast for its iconic characters, as well as story details.
