I didn't mean to imply that I didn't like the game. Shoot, I loved the game. In fact, I've played through it several times both by myself and with a friend (switching off after dying). I'm definitely looking forward to the sequel, but probably wouldn't touch a movie based off of it with a ten foot pole. And that's if the movie somehow got good reviews (aka, it's not an Uwe Boll movie).

Samuel L Jackson for Nathan.

Maybe then I'll be interested. It's not like Uncharted has some kind of huge plot that can't fit into a movie. It's basically every movie cliche crammed together in video game form anywayz, I'm sure it'll be perfect for Hollywood.

The voice actor even sounded like Nathan Fillion.

@Garo: They actually modeled Drake after Johnny Knoxville in concept art, though I agree that he ended up looking more like Fillion in the end.

@incredibilistic:
nolan...maybe...but please no McG!

and I totally agree with Nathan Fillion, hes perfect for this role. We actually need someone like Whedon scripting and maybe Peter Berg directing, cause he did such a fun job with "the rundown" a movie i totally did not expect to like.

WolfGod — Wed, 07 May 2008 07:30:36 MDT

I think it would be hard to mess this up if they made a movie out of this, Naughty Dog did such a good job with the script and stuff I think it could be really good.

Nathan Fillion as Drake, thats how it should be. Can't think of who would play Sully or Elena right now.

MSUSteve — Wed, 07 May 2008 06:40:44 MDT

Nathan Fillion IS Nathan Drake. I mean the guy they got to voice Drake even sounds just like him. He'd be awesome in the role because the role is essentially him. That said, didn't we already get an Uncharted movie in the game Uncharted? The game was very cinematic with awesome characters and a good story. Why make essentially another movie out of it?

Heyyou27 — Wed, 07 May 2008 06:35:42 MDT

I hope they don't do this as a movie; I loved the game but the rule of thumb is, whenever you turn a game into a movie, it sucks.

kadaj24 — Wed, 07 May 2008 05:52:05 MDT

If this movie is made, they would have to be insane to not cast Nathan Fillion as Drake. I agree with everyone else, when I played Uncharted, I always pictured Fillion, his looks and his personality are very similar to Mal on Firefly.

@dunetiger : the mekuri master: I'm sorry apparently you didn't see that Lucas and Spielberg plan on ruining that Franchise this summer.

I think they should have just done the Uncharted movie instead. It would have a better chance of resonating with a new younger audience. Hell, I'm almost 30 and I'd much rather see them do an Uncharted movie then drag Harrison Ford's old but out to do another Indiana Jones movie.

el_rezzo — Wed, 07 May 2008 04:46:21 MDT

@Deviation59: True he would make a great Drake, Casey Affleck was amazing in the Jesse James movie. I always thought he was a great actor but his performance just blew me away.

At the very least it will be an enjoyable summer blockbuster.

Twelve Monkeys and Three Kings? Great movies in my opinion. I'm not sure how they could make Uncharted in the same vein as these movies but if they keep the quality at the same level then it should be okay.

What are you talking about? We already have 3 movies and very shortly 4. They are called Raiders of the Lost Ark, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

@Rickster: hen people will say that it rips off national treasure

Nah, it couldn't be that bad no matter how much scope there is to totally f*** this up. And there's plenty of scope for that. Unfortunately, I think there's more scope for that than there is for it to be totally awesome.

@sariah: it's somewhat cliche, to be quite honest.

Yeah, it was pretty cliche. Thing is, the characters really made it a good game for me. The story was passable.

For all those citing Indy, you obviously haven't played the game. It simply doesn't "feel" like an Indy game (or an Indy story). It also doesn't feel anything like Tomb Raider, Prince of Persia or any other game. It has a unique feel all of its own.

Velops — Wed, 07 May 2008 02:54:06 MDT

Critics would compare an Uncharted movie to Indiana Jones. Which would you think would fare better in the comparison? Indiana Jones is so iconic to the movie industry that an Uncharted movie would be seen as a lackluster knockoff.

Why do we need an Uncharted movie? It's not going to be able to give us anything that the game couldn't.

Im half and half, you see, Gaming, expecially with the release of GTAIV, is finally coming into its own as a great and unique way to tell a story, so why go back a step?

That said, Uncharted was the reason i bought my PS3, its a fantastic game and everyone should definatly spend a day or two on it.

rannic — Wed, 07 May 2008 00:25:37 MDT

Yeah, I can see it making a pretty good movie. I realize I'm probably in the minority, but I liked the cutscenes more than the gameplay. Trim down the fat and I can see a top-notch action movie.

That said, it's a video game movie, so it will be worse than cancer.

@Deviation59: That post was exactly what I wanted to write. Fully agree right there, Nathan Fillion is Drake. When I first heard him, that's who I thought he was, and throughout the game I pictured him as Nathan Fillion if a film was ever made.

@thinred: It doesn't necessarily have to be crappy... the script has essentially been written already and it was quality the first time around. A decent director and a few decent actors could actually make a good movie out of Uncharted.

Deviation59 — Tue, 06 May 2008 23:57:06 MDT

Nathan Fillion (Firefly) would make the perfect Nathan Drake. In fact, the first time I heard Drake speak, I thought it was Fillion.

As for Casey Affleck... well, Gone Baby Gone actually did a lot to change my mind on him, so I could live with that choice. Nathan Fillion would be better though.

@Bonertown:
Not a bad choice considering how good of a job he did in "Gone Baby Gone".

Anyone that hasn't seen that movie should see it. It's Ben Affleck's first film and it's awesome.

I pick McG (Charlie's Angels) or Chris Nolan (Batman Begins) to direct with a script by David Hayter (voice of Snake and script writer of X-Men 1 & 2).
