Nathan Fillion Made An Uncharted Fan-Film, And It's Excellent

The official Uncharted movie may be stuck in development hell forever, but actor Nathan Fillion and his crew have made their own 15-minute tribute to the iconic action-adventure franchise. It is wonderful.

Krangs_Uncle2109d ago (Edited 2109d ago )

That's a class act..

Nathan.. Meet Nathan...

CloudStrife9002109d ago

You can never go wrong with either of those Nathans

Christopher2109d ago (Edited 2109d ago )

Am I the only one that thinks he runs like a 60-year-old?

Otherwise this wasn't bad if it didn't shine a light on the cheesy way scenarios can seem when transferred from gaming to Cinema. I do appreciate the fan service in it, though (Kitty got wet, for example).

Years ago fans of Firefly/Serenity and Uncharted were absolutely wanting this.

thorstein2108d ago

We are still wanting this.

And now we have the greatest video game to movie adaptation so far.

CloudStrife9002109d ago (Edited 2109d ago )

Honestly, this is fantastic! Why is it that fan-made projects ( games > movie/trailers/shorts ) are always 1000000% better than the offerings we get from giant corporates? O_o

Fans put passion and respect before dollars. Corporations on the other hand....

dumahim2109d ago

Even if we can only get 1 movie out of him as Drake, I'm all for it.

-Foxtrot2109d ago (Edited 2109d ago )

The Uncharted film with Tom Holland hasn't even began shooting and this shits all over it, it's Uncharted and well done for a fan film.

Why don't they put a fan film together using Nolan, Emily and Richard though, I'd love to see them in live action.

firelogic2109d ago (Edited 2109d ago )

It boggles my mind why they're starting off the film (series?) with young Drake. That isn't Uncharted. In the games young Drake works because we know adult Drake, those kid sequences don't last very long, and it's fun to see where he came from. An entire movie revolving around young Drake is asinine. If it bombs (and it will) the people outside of gaming will never see the true appeal of Uncharted because they'll never make another one.

Tankbusta402109d ago

Because they envision 40 sequels(you know typical Hollywood greed) so they cast the Spiderman dork so he can grow with the role. Won't work if the first movie sucks but hey Hollywood doesn't think that way.

-Foxtrot2109d ago

I know...young Drake were the worst sections in the games, they were so slow and you just wanted to get back into the action

I'm more annoyed they chose someone who looks and acts nothing like him but it wouldn't have mattered who they chose, no one likes young actors in these types of films they always come more cheesy then they are.

Lord_Sloth2109d ago (Edited 2109d ago )

Drake was born in 76 and Fortune came out in 07. Assuming that the year matches up that makes him 31 which puts Holland (22) closer to his age than Fillion (47). Not saying that Fillion isn't a great fit for Drake but they can potentially get more movies out of Holland as a bumbling action hero given his youth.

Let's not assume the movie will be crap until we see something from it.

-Foxtrot2109d ago

Let’s not assume? Despite every video game film being between awful to below average

Sure man...

I don’t care how old Holland is he looks and has never acted nothing like Drake in any of his roles. Nothing that screams “Oh wow he could play Nathan Drake”

MWH2108d ago (Edited 2108d ago )

Part of why the Marvel movies are so successful is because the character casting in general was well received by most fans of the comics of all ages.

Holland bears no resemblance to Drake in looks, charisma or character.

UNCHARTED2FANATIC2109d ago

You're telling me they are casting tom holland instead of this guy?? Wat a joke

UNCHARTED2FANATIC2109d ago

I don't know why you always get so many dislikes you are always spot on especially when it comes to uncharted

-Foxtrot2108d ago (Edited 2108d ago )

Because if you say something which can be looked like as an attack against the franchise as a whole people don’t like it

Fans are fickle

syphon322108d ago

I like nolan ... but lets be honest Nathan Fillion is Nathan Drake... before i knew the truth i thought they modeled drake after fillion... for starters the appearance is uncanny between the two even down to mannerism and facial quirks.... I like North and he does a great job voice acting drake.... But Fillion is Drake..

-Foxtrot2108d ago

So the guy who actually plays Drake in the games is not Drake to you?

Right.

Turned based Phantasy Star and Shinning Force remain at the top of my list of Sega IPs that need to return. At the very least I'd take a Shining Force collection that has 1,2,3, CD and the Game Gear entries.

FinalBoss4d ago

I was hesitant to put these two on. I've personally played more PSO than the RPG version. And shame on me, I don't remember much about Shining Force to talk about it properly.

That said, so many Sega licences deserve their place in this list.

jznrpg2d ago

A new Phantasy Star in the numbered series would be amazing. Shining Force too. But I’d settle on some collections as that’s probably the best we will get

anast4d ago

I don't trust Sega to do a proper comeback. The games will be just remastered and/or monetized to death.

gold_drake3d ago

shining force.

but indont see that happening unfortunately.

Former Blizzard President Suggests Players Should Have Option to Tip Developers

Former Blizzard president Mike Ybarra recently suggested an interesting concept that has sparked a debate among gamers - the idea of being able to tip developers after completing a game.

LG_Fox_Brazil10d ago

If I had a 100% way to be sure that this money would go to a fund or a reserve dedicated only to the guys who develop the games, be them designers, artists, programmers and so on, I could think about it.

But we all know that this 'tip' would only end up in a publisher's CEO pocket to buy a new yacht, so, no, I ain't tipping anyone anytime soon on this industry

neutralgamer19929d ago

Exactly these companies were raising money for good causes and gamers were donation and come to find out they are keeping a good chunk of be pie

PapaBop9d ago

Yeah tip your developer, 5% proceeds go to developer, 95% to the publisher or whoever. Isn't tipping for staff not making minimum wage? How about they just pay their developers properly and like you know, give them fair bonuses? Too much to ask from Blizzard these days, Kotick saw to that and is now laughing all the way to the bank.

MrDead9d ago (Edited 9d ago )

It's the t**ts at the top looking at ways to cut devs wages and get the players to tip them like waiting staff, and I'll guarantee a percentage is skimmed and kept by Activision Blizzard. This is 100% for shareholder and CEO playouts.

Popsicle9d ago (Edited 9d ago )

I have to agree with this. On the surface tipping devs sounds like a great idea, but in the end it leads to pay cuts and subsidization of pay. Tips then become an expectation or the devs “can’t make a living.” Lastly, especially in the US, tip culture has gotten out of control, and it serves as an excuse not to properly pay employees. Sounds good but doesn’t end well.

drizzom8d ago

@ Popsicle

I think your right on the nose with how much tipping has become rampant. Instead of it being a relationship directly between the customer and the developer or employee, it now has a middle man ingrained in the system. DoorDash is one example. It ends up becoming a metric where the company can measure 'just how much more money you are willing to part with' before raising the price on the main product.

1Victor9d ago

Uh so they’re trying triple dip or more we buy the game that they’re already withholding/cutting content for dlc we was told that season pass would help the developers thrive we felt for it.
Now on top of all that plus their sales bonus they want tips enough is enough whatever happens to you create/built a good game get a bonus for sales milestones you care about your game and community we reward you with more sales not for doing 3/4 of a game then save the other 1/4 for dlc and passes after

raWfodog9d ago

The 'tip' is me buying your game in the first place.

S2Killinit9d ago

Very well said. If it was possible to send the money to either the developer or some organization for the betterment of gaming, sure. But we all know that will not be the case.

Rynxie9d ago (Edited 9d ago )

No, it would go to those on the top. They will still fire developers, have a bunch of microtransactions, raise prices of games and so on.

So they eventually don't pay their workers and depend on our tips to pay them like the case with waiters!

Deeeeznuuuts9d ago

That kind of practice is only normal in the states, as far as I know anyway, what a backwards system

H99d ago

No it's as well in a every country that wants to amercanize

bloop9d ago

Ireland is literally the first stop across the pond and we don't have a tipping culture. The only establishments here that would expect a tip are the tourist haunts that Americans visit. Other than that, you might tip in a restaurant as a sign of gratitude for great service and waiting staff would be paid a full wage anyway.

Rebel_Scum9d ago

Tipping is not customary iin most countries dude. Get a passport lol.

Jin_Sakai10d ago

Is this a joke? How about the big wigs giving up some of their pay for their hard working developers.

MrBaskerville9d ago

Maybe the CEO could earn his money based on tips.

mastershredder10d ago

good god. The devs are not baristas dude. Total 1% ideals. Fing Chadosaurus.
