Nathan Fillion Wants To Be Nathan Drake

PTB: "While I'm sure there are plenty of actors who would want to step into Drake's action-packed shoes and snarky personality, one familiar face is openly campaigning for the role by entreating his fans to raise the flag and spread the word. Nathan Fillion of Firefly and Castle fame has his eye on Drake according to his Twitter account."

deadpoole4943d ago (Edited 4943d ago )

Hellsvacancy ... I saw this first thing today morning and literally made me laugh with pic.

For all those who aint gettin the reference what Hellsvacancy referred to ... its about this Kane and Lynch, they are makin up movie as well so whats happenin is they are casting Jamie Foxx as Lynch.

nveenio4943d ago

As far as personality goes, I think that Ryan Reynolds would be the best choice. He also looks the part. There are some movies he's great in, but some movies he's not...but I tend to think that's the movie itself (X-Men Origins: Wolverine).

Relientk774944d ago

Hmm and I thought the PS3's graphics were good?

Idk when I was playing Uncharted and Uncharted 2 I thought Nathan Drake was white, but I am obviously wrong

cayal4944d ago

It only turns white guys, black.

Snoogins4944d ago

Either you don't get the reference of the joke (well played, Hellsvacancy), or you're furthering the point.

SynGamer4944d ago

I still think James Roday could do well with this character; http://dustinbarton.com/blo...

ShAkKa4944d ago

I think he would do a nice Drake too.

Deacon4944d ago

I've been saying this since the first Uncharted. It's like they based Drake off of Roday. Hell, even his voice sounds incredibly similar. All he would have to do is buff up just a tad bit and he would be in the money.

moparful994944d ago

I actually like nathan fillion better for this role.. He has a certain charisma that fits the archetype of nathan drake... Firefly is to this day in the top 3 of my all time favorite shows and the movie serenity based on the show was epic as well.....

CobraKai4944d ago

I dunno, I still have a feeling it's gonna be the talentless Ryan Reynolds

nveenio4943d ago

I think he's the perfect choice.

DigitalAnalog4944d ago

I really REALLY hope this movie is the first of the "video game-to-movie" success.

-End statement

Dont know about that guy but james franco should play jeff buckley spitting image .

SeraphimBlade4944d ago

Why are we making a movie based on a game that is supposed to be like a movie? Don't get me wrong I like Uncharted, but this seems redundant.

cayal4944d ago

I don't expect much to be honest. Loved the game and I will see the movie, but games-to-movies don't work. I don't see how they will make this work using a different storyline.

ExplosionSauce4944d ago

Uncharted is supposed to resemble a movie-like experience. But it's still all game.

nveenio4943d ago

Uncharted will probably be the first game-to-movie success because it's so close to a movie already.

moparful994944d ago

game to movie translations suck because screen writers for movies suck at capturing the essence of the characters.. I think the game writers should collaborate with the movie writes to make a script worthy of nathan drake.. I could see this working but only if they take care to protect nathans wit and sense of humor....

Snoogins4944d ago

All based on an interview by the PlayStation Blog with Amy Hennig back in 2007 around the release of Uncharted: Drakes Fortune. She said action movies shaped Uncharted, and that she wants Joss Whedon (Firefly) to write and direct it while having Nathan Fillion (Firefly) star in it. Greg Edmonson (Firefly) composed the soundtrack for the series for crying out loud!

Hollywood is full of hacks who care less about appropriateness and art and more for who's popular at the time and money, so this will never happen.

QuantumWake4944d ago

While Nathan Fillion might be a good actor for Nathan Drake. I think Matthew Davis is a good Nathan Drake.

He looks and sounds almost exactly like Drake.

-------------

Though, If Nolan North wants to be Nathan Drake, then so be it. lol

ExplosionSauce4944d ago

I agree with your choice. Matthew Davis has a good look and sounds similar to Nathan Drake.
Fillion is a little too old in my opinion. He's almost 40.

nnotdead4944d ago

i agree with age being a proble, with Fillion. he doesn't seem have the body type to play Drake anymore. Fillion is perfect in all other aspects though.

moparful994944d ago

Imagine if nolan north whent through physical traingin and underwhent a transformation.. He would totally own the role. Remember its the spectacular voice over work done by nolan that makes drake so charming....

The Inconsistent Harmony: 5 Examples of Ludonarrative Dissonance in Video Games

VGChartz's Issa Maki: "I finally have a proper designation akin to what I've always referred to internally as 'the line that must be crossed' or 'The Line', for short – ludonarrative dissonance – the separation from a video game's story in relation to its gameplay. Why isn't PETA all up in Mario's grill for jumping on turtles and killing fish, or charging Samus Aran with the extinction of the Metroid species? Ever notice how fire has that habit of making bosses in Resident Evil stronger? Read on my friend, for I endeavor to imbue you with the ability to engage in basic queries concerning the concept."

UC 2, 4, 3 and 1. Great read and article

ABizzel11003d ago

No Golden Abyss -_-, otherwise I agree with the order.

UC2: Best overall
UC4: Best graphics, best gameplay, best locations, best environements
UC3: Best set pieces IMO (the boat and desert fights will always be amazing)
UC1: A rough Draft of what was to come
UCGA: Basically UC1 on Vita

Levii_921004d ago (Edited 1004d ago )

Great list and great article nicely writen and explained. Although for me personaly i would put Drakes Fortune above Drake’s Deception and Uncharted 4 is absolutely my favourite of the franchise and number 1 for me.

Inverno1004d ago

U2 is the only game playable on crushing without causing a great amount of frustration. Not to mention just how much influence it had that they redid some of U2s set pieces like the caravan twice, and armored truck chase in U4.

DFresh1003d ago (Edited 1003d ago )

I'd rate it as the following.

1.) Uncharted 2
(Close to perfection of any game I've played in years. Single Player/Multiplayer/Co Op all amazing.)

2.) Uncharted 3
(On par with UC2 multiplayer/co op wise minus the kickbacks [aka killstreaks]. I really liked the Lawrence of Arabia story.)

3.) Uncharted 4
(Single player is amazing. Multiplayer was meh. Co Op had potential. Absolutely hated the health revive system it slowed down the game way too much. Always preferred the fast pace action of UC2/UC3. Made it way more fun that way. Recoil was too ridiculous that most people in lobbies would only do hip firing, using power weapons and using that OP grappling hook to melee people after dropping them. Nobody wanted to revive anyone.)

4.) Uncharted
(It's the first in the series so it's hard to judge. Though I loved the story.)

NecrumOddBoy1003d ago

I agree here but it’s also a series you can play from front to back and truly enjoy. Story-wise, they are all great and flow so well. I wish they threw both Golden Abyss and Lost Legacy on this list. Lost Legacy is the best mechanically in my opinion. You can see it’s stepping stone framework for TLOUS2.

Michiel19891003d ago

uncharted 2 is one of the few games that actually surpassed its pre-release hype.

medman1003d ago (Edited 1003d ago )

I am a single player gamer...I barely ever touch a multiplayer component. The only exceptions over the years have been the Mass Effect 3 multiplayer, TLOU factions, and the Uncharted 2 multiplayer. The Uncharted 2 multiplayer saw me spend more time playing it than all my other multiplayer experiences over the years combined. That game really was a masterpiece all around.

brando0081003d ago

I agree completely, those are all stellar MP experiences, coming from another SP gamer who only occasionally gives MP some time.

Gardenia1003d ago

Come to think of it, the step between Uncharted 1 and Uncharted 2 is huge. It goes from the weakest in the series to one of the best games ever made.
I think I'm going to play all of them again soon.

Ninver1003d ago

Yeah all of a sudden I've got that Uncharted itch.

Michiel19891003d ago

is multiplayer still up for the remastered trilogy? or did it never have UC2 mp?

Ninver1003d ago

@michiel1989

Not sure
