Uncharted
Uncharted is a series of action-adventure games, combining third-person shooting with three-dimensional platforming. It follows the journeys of treasure hunter Nathan Drake.
Uncharted movie news. Nathan Drake to be played by...
...Mark Wahlberg. Also Joe Pesci to play his uncle and Robert De Niro to play his father. Not really the best pick for Drake.
I had no hope for this movie anyway, but freaking Christ. Did they not learn to avoid Wahlberg with Max Payne? He refused to play the game because he was worried that he would get addicted.
Hollywood is dumb.
Dude doesn´t look anything like Drake. Also, why does every goddamn character need a father? Is that a necessary tool for "character development"?
It certainly isn´t in the Uncharted games. You know what an Uncharted-movie really needs? Elena Fisher.
Oh no wait I´ve changed my mind. It really needs another half-assed cameo role for some other fuckwit whos cashing in a few checks. Maybe... if his other uncle could look a tiny bit like Ghandi.. - God! Hollywood really has no Idea what the fuck theyre doing, right?!
Mark Wahlberg is NOT an average guy....which is why I liked Nate Drake so much, he's just a dude who wants to find the treasure and not get shot doing it! Nathan Fillion would be great though, I know he's not a big enough actor to get butts in seats but I think he would make the best possible Nathan Drake.
Any other ideas who would be a good Drake? Anyone is better than Captain Funky Bunch but who would be the best realistic choice?

I wouldn't be surprised if Naughty Dog used him as an inspiration when creating Drake.
This sucks on so many fucking levels...
It's a game that doesn't require a movie at all anyway. I don't need any Uncharted that's not written by Amy Hennig and not starring the absolutely perfect cast that those games have.
I can't decide which is the worse piece of news in that article, but Mark Wahlberg has zero of the type of charisma needed to pull off the character of Drake, and it sounds like the director actively hates the property almost as much as he likes money if those are his ideas. Joe Pesci as Nate's Uncle! wat.
Hollywood. You are a fucking idiot.
Nathan Drake was Nathan Fillion. It was a casting choice so easy even a random dude at a gas station could have got it right.
Nothing about Wahlberg says self-deprecating, kind-hearted everydude that people can empathize with. Hell, even The Rock would be better.
Marky Mark (I refuse to stop caling him that)? Seriously? Did the casting director not learn anything from watching Max Payne? Oh wait, nobody actually watched that...
This is the guy that not even Francis Ford Coppola could get a decent performance out of. The fact that Uncharted is a video game movie is already one strike against it, do they really want to doom this movie from the start?
Didn't know a movie was being made, but I definitely know I have no interest in it if these are the character choices. What the hell kind of movie are they making? Is it some sort of Uncharted story delving in a Mob family's treasure? I mean come on, Pesci and DeNiro make absolutely no sense compared to Wahlberg as Drake. At least Wahlberg somewhat fits the role, the other two have no context in this movie based upon their bodies of work.
lmao well I don't know about ya'll, but when I hear Indiana Jones-like adventure flick, I think Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci. HAHAHA. Doesn't Naughty Dog have a say in any of this stuff?
Nothing against Mr. Wahlberg.... but no. This is a bad casting decision.
Get Nolan North. He's already starred as Nathan Drake in 2 movies (basically). And he looks a lot like Drake too.
