I think Jackman would be a good choice actually. I hadn't considered it before this, but I think if they're not going to have Nolan, then Jackman suits the looks and the type of character.

He's also pretty darn high profile so it would bring the movie sky-high in terms of profit potential. Which is cynical, but like Nolan says in the interview, it's how the medium works right?

Ye i think he has almost nothing alike as Drake, it will just be to get people to go see it haha.

They should get Nathan Fillion off Firefly/Serenity, perfect match i think in terms of looks/personality. Plus... Nathan Drake - Nathan Fillion ?? lol

Also, it seems like they are making a movie out of every game these days yet nothing seems to actually be happening\releasing? lol

i like hugh jackman... a lot... but NOT as nathan drake... not even on my list!

that being said, im hesitant to come up with someone to play his role, the game was sooooo movie-like, i can't picture anyone else playing the role other than nathan drake HIMSELF... thats what its come down to.. it was THAT good

I don't see Hugh pulling off Drake's attitude, which is most important. We need someone with his sense of comedic delivery, not someone who looks somewhat like him.

Nathan Fillion if they want someone who actually looks identical to the video game version. Otherwise, Ryan Reynolds would be good.

They could do worse than Jackman, though.

Nathan Fillion as Nathan Drake
Bruce Campbell as Victor Sullivan
Emily Rose as Elena Fisher

A few of the creative minds behind Uncharted are huge Joss Whedon fans, basing Nathan Drake partly on Fillion's role as Captain Malcom Reynolds of Firefly. Greg Edmonson did both the soundtrack to Firefly and the Uncharted series. It's really a freaking no-braner.

id like the suggestion of ryan reynolds. but i think james roday from psych would be a great drake. he looks very much like him, and his character on psych is incredibly similar to drake personality wise. the best choice i think would be nolan north himself but we all know hollywood likes to f#ck up everything theres no way it will be nolan or anyone remotely good for the role.

id honestly rather them either not do the movie(uncharted is way to great of a game to be ruined by a movie, theres no way a movie can do it justice) or do the movie with the games engine, i felt like i was watching a movie anyways, that way they can have the voices of all the familiar characters.

Would it be that crazy to ask for the film to be made fully with CGI? I mean the cut scenes in uncharted 2 are already amazing. A big budget movie version would look even more amazing. Whats more, you'd have the real characters as they should be with the original voices. Drake could be the first true cgi action hero. I think the games have proved how well that can produce a movie like experience. I honestly think it could work, and work better then a live-action movie. It would also stand out alot more

NATHAN FILLION........... and i dont think no one else could pull it off the way he can (just watch firefly), but im willing to give hugh jackman a chance though, he can be a damn good actor if he tries- just watch the fountain.

edit- check nolan north's bio on imdb.com he could play the part himself, i mean he has already in 2 games.

You can tell hes faking an accent. Whichever one he does, hes about as genuine as a faux mask.

Lets petition. Not that it will do anything, I just want ND/SOny to know this guy is a tool. Doesn't draw anyone to come from the box office.

Serinity Captain,
Gerard Butler
Even the guy from Hangover(the teacher) would be a good pick..

Might as well book Tom Cruise.

Chloe needs to be played by the entire Cast of the lesbian scenes from the movie Gia w/angelina jolie and the asian chick. & That other movie with jennifer tilly and gershan(the girl from showgirls). They just cut to that whenever chloe starts talking.

I'm actually against the Uncharted movie in the first place, the game is great because the characters have already been established with specific voice actors and the aesthetic.

Anyway, can I just say, the people who are complaining that Hugh Jackman doesn't have the same personality as Drake...Well guess what, it's called ACTING... Jesus.

My dad met him once and said he was really cool, and he's a pretty good actor on stage and in films.

The bad thing is that us Aussies can't hide our accents so well, so we won't get Drake's awesome voice. This normally wouldn't bother me, but afetr experiencing how well the voice acting is done in Uncharted, means that a film deserves to have those voices.

ah Jackman isn't that bad when someone like Chris Nolan is pointing a camera at him...and he has a decent writer telling him what to say (the Prestige for example)...not amazing, but can at least not be annoying...but yeah, all the 'action' crap he does like the Xmen stuff is simply awful imo...but not because of him...just because the movies sucked overall, and he did nothing to steer them in a better direction...

Fillion all the way imo...he had to be some sort of inspiration for the rendering of drake in the first place...and he is MUCH better at delivering the kind of lines written into the game scripts than Jackman, at least from what I have seen...

but I agree that I am not at all excited about an Uncharted movie...as North is simply who I associate drake with now...and it would bother me the entire movie if it wasn't him simply because I would be distracted...

Nathan Fillion gets my vote although I doubt he's even being considered. Hugh Jackman has an enormous amount of star power and would bring in a larger audience. Its a shame that big budget films come down to popularity contests. I'm still pissed about Jake Gyllenhaal being cast as the Prince of Persia rather than David Zandi (a real Persian Prince).

The video game - movie relationship has never worked well. With crappy games coming out for a movie, and crappy movies being made from games. The thing is that Uncharted has such a Hollywood style to it that it might work. I doubt that they will make it good, but if they can make a good movie out of a game, this would be the game to do it.
