    Nolan North still has my vote!

    Plus, they look similar right? RIGHT?! #uncharted2

    I sit and read all of your comments and I can't help but wonder why no-one feels that Uncharted should not be made into a movie! It is just wrong. What is it that makes Uncharted how good it is? Uncharted blurs the line between game and movie and melds the two together better than any game has to date. To then go and make a movie is almost sacrilage! Its a damn sellout in my opinion! We are all so eager to eat this up. I feel this ruins the "integrity" of the Uncharted franchise and frankly dissapoints me greatly! Wht does everything have to be made into a damned movie? Leave Uncharted where it belongs, in our hearts and video games. #uncharted2

    @supra5mge: I don't think everyone is picking actors out because we're eager for an Uncharted movie.

    It's just that the movie is confirmed. There's nothing we can do about it; there's going to be a movie whether we like it or not.

    We are just giving suggestions of how to try to make it not suck like most game to movie adaptations by casting decent actors who will do the characters at least a little bit of justice. #uncharted2

    @Erode: Yeah, I understand. I am just disappointed is all. It seemed like not too many people were questioning it, especially given just how Uncharted is. Oh well. If anyone is to play Drake and even come close it will have to be Nathan Fillian or Nolan North himself imho. #uncharted2

    In reply to Drake's Voice Actor Says Jackman's the Man
    Oh come one! If these guys actually took 10 minutes to stroll down any forum on this subject, the obvious choice, by 90% of the people, is Nathan Fillian.

    A) He bassically looks identical and deffinetly has the physique.

    B) He has the voice, after watching Firefly I actually thought it was Fillian doing Drakes voice, that's how much alike they are.

    C) The guy oozes charisma, perfect for Drakes attitude and personallity in general.

    D) He's acted a character very close to Drake, which is Mal from Firefly/Serenity, and did one Hell of a job on it.

    F) Finally, he's the perfect age, Jackman is a great actor, only an idiot would deny that, but he's just too old for the part now. #uncharted2

    @Yodasdarkside: Exactly. What the hell has Nolan been smoking that he thinks Jackman would be a good Drake? Did he even see X-Men Origins? If Fillion doesn't do it, then North himself should.

    Oh, and @PhatsMahoney: Did you see Castle this week? He donned his Captain Tightpants outfit again for the Halloween episode. #uncharted2

    @Maverick128: Fillion is amazing and needs this role, he deserves the fame. Unfortunately, I don't think Castle will last very long. I can watch anything with Fillion in it.

    As terrible as Xmen Origins was, Jackman is actually a damn good actor and is very versatile. I actually think he'd be the best bet after Fillion. #uncharted2

    Hugh Jackman?! No, that would be all kinds of no. No way could he pull off that charm and humor so well, he's just not Nathan Drake material. And if Hollywood goes through with all of this and selects him I can't support this film. #uncharted2

    Sigh. I could go on for an hour how odd it'd be to not have Nolan North in the role. This isn't a cartoon caricature we're talking about, neither is it a novel. We're talking about Nolan North's Drake being a living breathing human being in our hands. Any one else taking on that persona's just imitating.

    Damn, if they don't take on Emily Rose I'm going to have to... I dunno... vent loudly towards the nearest mailbox with a strongly worded letter of disapproval. #uncharted2

    Sorry, but I'd have to choose Nolan North, because as much as Hugh Jackman has the looks and athleticism, he doesn't have the voice, personality, or sound of Nate as much as North does in his role. #uncharted2
