Comments on: Nathan Drake Heading to Hollywood http://blog.eu.playstation.com/2009/06/28/nathan-drake-heading-to-hollywood/ Your daily fix of PlayStation news from across the SCEE region Tue, 14 Feb 2012 18:22:59 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: supersonicsjm http://blog.eu.playstation.com/2009/06/28/nathan-drake-heading-to-hollywood/comment-page-2/#comment-11025 supersonicsjm Fri, 17 Jul 2009 08:01:06 +0000 http://blog.eu.playstation.com/?p=2852#comment-11025 I agree with Zapachna666, lordbeagle, Raziel_Shanks, Salty500, Wright316uk, hedges1001, tealcsg1 and Apnomis. Joe Flanigan from Stargate Atlantis is perfect for the role, the moment I read this article, I thought Joe Flanigan would be perfect and was surprised to find a fair few people agree. As for Elena and Sully, can't quite think of anyone yet, I'm sure I will though. I agree with Zapachna666, lordbeagle, Raziel_Shanks, Salty500, Wright316uk, hedges1001, tealcsg1 and Apnomis.

I didn't even think of him when I was wondering who could do it, but now I've heard it I think it's an inspired choice! Going off Stargate Atlantis he has just the right sort of humour and comic presence needed to pull off Drake and has similar physical characteristics, he also has the build to pull off an action role - I think that would be a really good choice, depends if they want a big name star though... Nolan North is the voice actor so obviously sounds like him and has a similar look to Drake thanks to the mocap, but having seen him on that E3 interview I don't think he looks like an action movie star - maybe just give him a cameo! As for Elena, again it depends if they want/need a big name to pull in the audiences, but Emily Rose is an obvious choice and unlike Nolan North see does have screen acting experience.

If you look at a close up of his face and then close up of Nathan Drake. Pretty good match. I'd say voice too would be quite the same with a little practice. He's amazing in Star Wars.

I thought there were already many "Uncharted" movies. They are called INDIANA JONES! Not a chance that "Uncharted: the movie" could be as popular as the original ones.

Every game to movie adaptation I've seen I've been disappointed with, so my hopes aren't high! But there's definitely a film to be had from Drake's Fortune, it was a cinematic game to start with. Problem is you get a game that has a great story and great characters so movie studios think "oh that's popular, let's make a movie" and then proceed to completely pull it apart and alter it so it loses the things that made it popular to start with! I understand there needs to be some changes to make it appropriate for a movie, but most of the key concepts were already in the game and don't need changing! As for casting I wouldn't like to say, as long as they capture the wit and humour of all the characters they can't go far wrong. I'm curious why it has taken them so long though, this film won't be out until 2011 at least I would think, so it's possible PS3 onwers will be waiting for Uncharted 3 on PS3 and Uncharted 1 in the cinema! Given that Uncharted 2 is out soon to is there a possibility of a hybrid movie mixing the first two games like they did with Resident Evil, or is it just Drakes Fortune? This could be really great or really cr*p!

Hollywood should instead start getting some creativity instead of just leaching off the video game and comic industry like it has these past few years. But, seeing as this is going to happen regardless, and how it's going to BOMB, I'm going to pick Nolan North, I want Drake to play Drake, simple as.

One was the original Mortal Kombat and the other is Silent Hill. Everything else was kinda crap! But if they are going to do it anyway, they better use Nathan Fillion as he'll be bloody perfect!
