by

Summary

  • Horizon Zero Dawn movie in development based on popular PS4 game.
  • Fans desire Game of Thrones star, Rose Leslie, to portray Aloy.
  • Netflix’s adaptation of the Horizon Zero Dawn series was canceled after years of development.

As a devoted connoisseur of digital escapades, I’ve long awaited the day when the hailed masterpiece of PlayStation gaming, Horizon Zero Dawn, would grace our movie screens. With Sony officially greenlighting the transformation of this cherished video game into a film, fans have been buzzing with excitement and speculation over who might embody the enigmatic outcast and valiant warrior Aloy. Intriguingly, it appears that one star from the epic saga of Game of Thrones has emerged as a strong contender for the role.

Launched in 2017 for the PlayStation 4, “Horizon Zero Dawn” was a massive success for Guerrilla Games, outperforming even “No Man’s Sky” as the console’s largest launch since Naughty Dog’s “Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End.” With sales exceeding 20 million units globally on both PS4 and PC, the game presents a futuristic landscape invaded by colossal mechanical animals reminiscent of prehistoric creatures. To learn more about this world and her own origins, Aloy, voiced by Ashly Burch, embarks on an epic and perilous quest to aid tribal groups and uncover ancient mysteries.

Fans Want One Game of Thrones Actor To Play Aloy in Movie Adaptation

Despite no specific information about a Horizon Zero Dawn movie, enthusiasm among fans for Rose Leslie to portray the Nova Brave warrior Aloy from the Horizon series remains high. Given her spirited character from Game of Thrones, it’s not hard to understand why fans would wish for Leslie to play Aloy. Her likeness to Guerrilla’s character is striking, and her proficiency with a bow and arrow – a crucial skill in the game given its frequent archery action – could prove very beneficial if she were to secure the role.

In the opinion of many Horizon Zero Dawn fans, while Leslie could certainly excel in the role of Aloy, another actress named Sophia Lillis is also receiving significant attention. Known for her roles in It: Chapter Two as young Beverly Marsh and HBO’s Sharp Objects, as well as Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, Lillis has emerged as a popular choice among fans. Although she may not be as widely recognized as the Game of Thrones actor famous for her catchphrase “You know nothing, John Snow”, Lillis’s potential to portray Aloy is gaining traction. This is particularly due to the fact that Leslie, who might be slightly older, could be too old to convincingly play the 20-year-old machine hunter character of Aloy.

The planned Netflix movie adaptation of Horizon Zero Dawn, overseen by showrunner Steve Blackman, has not come to fruition after years of development. Unfortunately, the project was ultimately canceled. At this point, a release date for the movie remains uncertain, but fans can hope for updates soon regarding casting choices for its notable characters and plot details.
