Nathan Fillion Wants You to Stop Pestering the Uncharted Director

[ImprovizoR]

The man is perfect for the role. I think it's time Hollywood started listening to fanbase about game-to-movie adaptations. Every single game-to-movie adaptation so far had sucked because Hollywood morons always deviate from what the fans want and expect.

Is no one else sick and tired of playing games where you're a white American gunning down people of opposite ethnicities?

Personally, I dont care about ethnicity. You cannot truely be a world devoid of racism till you accept and move on from the fact that not everyone is white. If you truely want to get past the stigma's associated with race, you have to include race into your games - as long as you're not doing it in a racially charged manner (an example of this is shooting African Tribesman in Leopard skin tribal gear because they had the indesency of being different).

Frankly, I could care less if the villians or foes are black, white, purple, Asian, Cuban, Mexican, etc. As long as its fun, its not doing it to point at itself and say "Look how offensive I can be!!!", or anything along those lines. Which as far as Im concerned, thats not whats happening...

ANYWAYS, I like Nathan's stance on this. Pestering is just annoying. If pestering the director has done nothing thus far, its not going to accomplish anything. Just relax, and if he decides Fillion is good for the part, then he'll be good for the part.

Looking at Nathan in Castle recently, the dude is developing some MAJOR bags under his eyes, you can even see it in the above picture though it conceals it a lot better. While that in of itself doesn't prove anything, it definatly seems like the guy might be showing the effects of some heavy drug use. It might be that he has lame makeup people, but I think it's more of a sign that the problem is pronounced enough where they can't cover it up any more than they are.

Ya don't think the bags might have more to do with working epically long days on 'Castle' than with a "serious drug problem that apparently no one has noticed"?

OT: I also think The Fillion is right for the role. Respect to the man for keeping his fans in check though. I think the directors might not be interested is because he has no real big screen experience. Its sad because he would be great for Nathan Drake.

Hahahah, Nathan hates fanboys too, even his own <3

I respect the man.

why are Metro 2033, Stalker and Halo on that list? the first two, you play as russians and in Halo you arent killing different ethnicities, you're killing aliens who attacked you. and you arent even from earth.

OT: this is good, pestering people just makes them not do what you want them to. even though its for a good cause and because Nathan Fillion would be perfect for the role.

Halo is there because some people claim it's an allegory for race-wars, and because it's a very "us vs them!" game.

Nathan Fillion is wrong for the role. Sony want a blockbuster, and there's no way that Fillion's name sells tickets to the general public. No matter how the geek community feels, the guy just happens to be a solid TV actor, not a name that can be prominently displayed on the poster of a multimillion dollar blockbuster.

On the other hand, we have a certain Mr Bradley Cooper. He's young, he's good looking, he has the right charming attitude for the role, he's proved he has action chops by doing the A-Team, he's currently one of the biggest stars in Hollywood, and most importantly, he's worked with the director already.

Now I ask you. Who is the more logical choice for the studio and for Neil Burger? Because from where I'm standing, it's certainly not Nathan Fillion.

Is Nathan Fillion petting a wooden fish?

No. What he's doing is so awesome your mind has failed to comprehend it, and has subsequently managed only to parse the image into that of Nathan Fillion petting a wooden fish.

-m

^ Knows what's what.

OT: See, I'd love nothing more to see Fillion in the role, but I'm completely fine with him not getting it.

That said, fuck Sam Worthington.

 

[duchaked]

LOL yeahh I'm really couldn't care less about Uncharted (without Nathan Fillion in the lead role especially), but even David O. Russel's "imaginative" ideas were a huge facepalm IMO. plus Mark Wahlberg. altho Sam Worthington really isn't a good fit either...I mean any other video game movie with a tough buff albeit generic soldier man dude in the lead would fit but I get the impression Nathan Drake has quite a personality (and gets pretty beat up, Mr. Fillion has shown he will take serious hits when filming!)

 

[Truly-A-Lie]

Despite having the charm for Drake, looking at him on Castle it seems that Nathan Fillion has bulked up a bit too much to play the part now. Maybe in the Firefly era it would have been perfect, but unfortunately time has played against him.
Realistically, I have to back up the calls for Bradley Cooper to play the role. He's fit, but not huge, which is appropriate, he's charming, and he's got leading man status.

 

[Spoon E11]

I would be happy to see him as Drake. Admittedly I only saw him in Serenity where the film wasn't great but not due to his acting skills.

 

[UnravThreads]

Well if you look at the games, they are shooters. They arent white Americans gunning down other ethnicities. Do I really need to explain this.

Yes? Fallout 3 has Chinese people in it whom you kill, New Vegas is questionable in that regard (Although both games have mixed-race people), but it's also questionable as to whether America is still in existence at that point. It seems to me that it's not America as it is today, and perhaps not even a country (Or a group of countries/states/etc). Doesn't RDR have Mexicans or something, too?

 

[AbsoluteVirtue18]

...Is it just me, or is this article a tiny bit biased?

OT: I wouldn't mind seeing him in the Uncharted movie, but I'm not really the person to ask since I've never played the games, and the only thing I've Nathan Fillion in was Firefly.
