It looks like the gaming industry is trying to wipe away the stigma that film adaptations have brought upon us. Among the many video games getting its debut on the big screen is the critically-acclaimed post-apocalyptic zombie romp "The Last Of Us."

The movie may be stuck in development hell for now, but fans have a few ideas on who should get the lead roles of Ellie and Joel. Here are our top picks.

Actors Who Should Play As Joel

The first and most obvious choice goes to Wolverine himself, Aussie actor Hugh Jackman. Proven to be a versatile actor with his stints that range from "X-men" to "Les Misérables," Jackman can portray a perfect Joel in the fans' eyes.

Second choice would be another top actor Josh Brolin. Brolin has also shown serious acting chops in his roles in "No Country For Old Men" and "Men In Black 3." The actor has also done motion capture for Marvel's fearsome antagonist, Thanos.

The third actor we would like to see play Joel is Gerard Butler. The "300" and "Olympus Has Fallen" actor has proven that he can do excellent action scenes, and has an extensive filmography as well.

Actresses Who Should Play As Ellie

There are a lot of excellent child actresses in Hollywood who can be a perfect fit for our female hero Ellie.

One of the top candidates would definitely be "The Game Of Thrones" star Maisie Williams. Her professional acting debut as Arya in the popular tv series has garnered her a lot of nods from critics.

Another perfect actress for the role of Ellie is Elle Fanning. She has proven her acting prowess in various movies such as "Somewhere," "Super 8" and "Maleficent," receiving various awards and nominations for her parts in the films.

Our final pick for Ellie is "The Hunger Games" star Willow Shields. Known for her performance as Katniss Everdeen's sister Prim, the young actress is slowly making her way up the ladder, and nabbing the role of Ellie will catapult her even higher.

We might not see both the movie and the sequel for "The Last Of Us" anytime soon, but there's plenty of things to get excited about. Stay tuned for updates here.
