I think Marky Mark will do a good job, and he looks pretty close to him (not as close as Fillion but pretty close).
Mark Wahlberg Confirmed For Lead Role in Uncharted Movie
- Thread starter Logan Westbrook
- Start date
LMAO! True that. But Marky Mark in no way makes fits the character of Nathan Drake. I was all for Nathan Fillion to play it. Occassionally I like Wahlberg's acting but a lot of the time I think it sucks. And he has been terrible in adapations of other IP's he has been in. His acting in Planet of the Apes was just bad and Max Payne as a whole was just bad. But I don't expect the movie to be very good any how, another unnecessary film version of a game that doesn't need to be; the Uncharted games are good enough and cinematic enough in scope that they don't need movie versions.The Arbiter of Cool said:

Hopefully the next time they even bother to put screenshots out, he's dropkicking a mafia don in black and white.
Therein lies the problem with Hollywood politics. Fillion is great on TV however the few full length features he's done unfortunately read like a 'worst of' list [except Serenity]. (Generally the director/ producers fault more than his own), add that to the fact that Fillion is still something of a niche actor. Wahlberg however has had quite a few successful films, even if he has been struggling lately. That alone raises his preference over Fillion even before role suitability is factored in. Still, as you said, he can act when put to the task properly.DaxStrife said:
I personally would have preferred Filion, but I'm not going to praise or bash the film-makers decision until I see the final product for myself.
They have a choice between one of the greatest pop culture icons in recent history, and a guy who's most famous for starring in a bunch of shitty movies (with a few exceptions) and they pick the latter. They couldn't of fucked it up worse.
Mark has seen better and worse days. Let's hope he pulls a good turn in this movie. But on the whole I'm not expecting much. He doesn't really do the Drake type at all.
But its not Drake himself that keeps the game together, its mostly the chemistry between Drake and Elena. So here's hoping they find someone he can trade jabs with.
It could work like it did in Six Days and Seven Nights (Harrison Ford and Anne Heche in a pretty bad movie that comes to life because of the two of them). That movie seems like the base template for the interaction between the two Uncharted main characters. Just add generic plot.
We should find a bald professor and start a team!

i would have preferred Nathan Fillion, i tihnk he is able to pull of a humors hero better then mark
Mark Wahlberg? Really? He's not even my 352nd choice for Nate! What is he doing starring in the Uncharted movie?!
Let me spell it out for you:
Uncharted Movie - Nathan Fillion As Nathan Drake = Loss Of Me As Your Paying Customer.
As for De Niro? Well it's certainly not the most questionable thing he's starred in (cough*Rocky&Bullwinkle*cough)

We'd all have awesomeness aneurisms.MmmFiber said:You're right. If Gus tagged along it would be too awesome and funny for our mortal minds to handle.Flac00 said:Hmm, i haven't seen him do anything were he needs to be tough....but that would be a pretty cool choice. As long as we don't have gus tagging along.aNimeKing33 said:I honestly think they should have used James Roday(main guy from Psych)
but it doesn't matter since I'm still going too see it.
the OP mentioned that this movie has some weight to it... for some reason I feel like that hurts more than helps... they always tend to tie some big names to things when they know that said things are gonna suck. I really would hate for this to suck... especially since it's such a great series of games...
and changing the backstory and everything... that's just stupid, why not make a spin off then and have someone else play Drake, while mark and pesci deniro (sorry for spelling) are their own crew and run into Drake, I think thatd be cool!
