LOL

Nathan Fillion is a bit of a basket case.

BubbleSniper5079d ago

destruction shall befall you for murmuring such blasphemy

Lucreto5079d ago

I meant it as a complement.

Misterhbk5080d ago

They have the potential to make some amazing movies here. I really hope they don't screw this up.

Lucreto5080d ago (Edited 5080d ago )

"I think that once we finish it, then we’ll go to actors and see who’s available and who’s right for the parts."

Thats good to hear. Russell mustn't of gotten too far into the screenplay since it was only a few weeks from the announcement that he was directing and that he already had Wahlberg cast as Drake.

It would seem Drake in the screenplay would be based more off Wahlberg and his strenghts than we would expect from the Drake we all know and love.

"Mainly we’re beginning from scratch and going back to the videogame."

Oh hell yes.
Neil Burger is already a million times better than the previous director.

This movie may be decent afterall!

After nearly 18 years, finally there's a videogame movie that has one.

WhiteLightning5080d ago

Emily Rose says she wants to do it and if she wants to do it I bet that Nolan would want to do it aswell, I mean if Emily "did" get the role then it's only fair for Nolan and Richard to aswell

As long as they get big stars as the villains then where fine for promotional stuff. Get Nolan on a strict bulk up/diet plan and some make up and we'll be good to go

I think Uncharted fans should be putting Nolan before Fillion even if Fillion is more known, it shouldn't matter Nolan IS Drake and he should be our first choice.

BitbyDeath5080d ago (Edited 5080d ago )

I don't think the characters have to be a 100% match, i'd easily be just as happy with someone like David Boreanaz or even the likes of Brad Pitt to play as him.

I'm sure there are a ton of good actors out there that could do justice to the role of Drake, i'm just glad Mark Wahlberg is finally out of the picture as he had nothing at all in common with Drake, build/look/energy/humour etc

VelvetHammer5080d ago

God i thought i was the only one that thought david boreanaz was a good fit. Grant he aint treasure hunting in bones but his character totally meets the profile and he pulls it off.

Baka-akaB5080d ago (Edited 5080d ago )

Emily Rose is a proven talent on screen ... Nolan north on screen is truly forgettable and average . You'd only remember him because a fan of his VA work .

So no , picking Emily Rose is far from a yes to North .

WhiteLightning5080d ago

Hollywood used to take chances based on if the actor was good enough for the part why don't they just give him a chance.

Admit it, it would be weird to see Emily Rose as Elena appear alongside someone else as Drake who isn't Nolan North

I'm not saying your wrong, I'm just saying people need to give him a chance. Most of the actors today we praise used to be nobodys but people/hollywood give them a chance and now they entertain us in films.

Baka-akaB5080d ago (Edited 5080d ago )

I dont find it weird actually , so no i've got nothing to admit . Emily Rose has proven herself on screen so far . Nolan hasnt period despite multiple tentative over quite many years . Sure he didnt get a chance to lead a movie or a tv show , but if he made such an impression he most likely would have by now .

Again being a great VA is already an incredible feat in itself , and i love the man for it . But it doesnt mean he'd be great on screen unfortunately

mantisimo5079d ago

Since when is it a given that Elena is even going to be in this film? I'd like her to be but...?

MrSpace5080d ago (Edited 5080d ago )

"and isn't even thinking about casting Nathan Fillion yet"

"Will he listen to the internet fervor to cast Nathan Fillion as Nathan Drake?"

Nathan Fillion this Nathan Fillion that, I'm sick to death of hearing his name and the Uncharted film in the same sentence. Even if theres a very slim chance we could get the voice actors how do we know if we don't try. People always say the same thing "Because Fillion is more known then any of the voice actors"...SO, if your putting all this effort into getting Fillion the role how about we think about the poor guy who wants his big break in acting, the guy who brought Nate to life...Nolan North. It's like people are just being sheep now with this Nathan Fillion idea. As Whitelightning has said above Emily Rose wants to do it so it's a good sign right...if she got picked then I'm sure Nolan would want to follow.

Guys come on, don't just follow the leader. Nolan North would be a better choice then Nathan Fillion, he should be our second choice.

Why does no one mention in interviews "Hey do you know Nolan North could act Drake out"...come on man :|

Baka-akaB5080d ago (Edited 5080d ago )

Again Nolan North isnt worth much on screen unfortunately . Does many people even know that he featured in popular series such as Modern family , Pretty Little Liars , CSI miami , Big love , and hell even some Melrose Place , JAG and six feet under , without making any kind of lasting impression ?

Seems to me he's had plenty chance to display acting chops and hasnt made it for a reason , or various ones .

Some people are great VA , but not necessarily great for the screen . On screen Fillion is a better proven actor and got the very lasting impressions that nolan never got .

MrSpace5080d ago

Well I disagree.....

Why because you say so, that he isn't good. He chose VA over acting so we never got to see much of him on TV so I don't know how you've seen it but for gods sake, LOOK at the behind the scene videos of Uncharted, they ACT out all the scenes. Nolan would be MILES better then Fillion because he knows what he's doing, he's acted out the scenes, he's worked with Emily and he knows how to be Drake. He had plenty of choices....erm nope, as I've said he chose to do VA over acting.

"On screen Fillion is a better proven actor and got the very lasting impressions that nolan never got ."

and how do you know, it's not like Nolan was in a TV series like Firefly is it so you don't know what he's like as a main character in a tv series. This isd the problem people assume that he's no good because he does VA, this is Uncharted if they act out the scenes then they know what they are doing.

Nolan is capable and it's people like you who keep shooting down comments when someone mentions Nolan (or any other person) as Drake over Fillion. Sorry but Nolan all the way.

Baka-akaB5080d ago (Edited 5080d ago )

You do really Fillion started as a nobody too ? like everyone else ? At some point he made a big enough impression to be given a lead role .

I'm not even promoting FIllion over North for the role here by the way . Just pointing out that he's got a better resume and charisma on screen so far . Enough to get a regular part on a few shows after his debuts and them lead roles .

While north landed mediocre roles and hasnt shone at it either .

"we never got to see much of him on TV so I don't know how you've seen it"

He had quite a few tv ones , with small parts . I just once upon a time looked imdb for some list , and remembered a few of them afterward . At the very least i've seen some of his acting and can judge a bit (quite unlike people screaming "he's the only drake' based on the game alone) ? Fair enough ?

But you know What ? feel free to believe i dont like North and wanna shoot him down

MrSpace5080d ago

"You do really Fillion started as a nobody too ? like everyone else ? At some point he made a big enough impression to be given a lead role

Nolan North did bits and bobs but he never tried and failed to get into a big part he just chose to do VA instead.

" Just pointing out that he's got a better resume and charisma on screen so far . Enough to get a regular part on a few shows after his debuts and them lead roles . "

Better resumee, better charisma, how can you say that when this is the one perfect lead role for Nolan he obviously has charisma because he is Drake, he's the character that they are looking for and better resumee, so that makes him a better actor does it....erm nope it dosen't, because like I said Nolan never chose to do something else so that's why Fillions is better because Nolan did something else. It would be differen't if Nolan tried and failed.

"While north landed mediocre roles and hasnt shone at it either"

Maybe he just wanted whatever was thrown at him, this was when he was doing VA still so again I bet his was fine with the way he worked then, so he probably chose the small parts.

"At the very least i've seen some of his acting and can judge a bit (quite unlike people screaming "he's the only drake' based on the game alone) ? Fair enough ?"

Because he is the only Drake, he's not just a VA who comes and goes after he's finished he's acts each scene otu and brought life to the character we've all fell in love with. Those small parts mean nothing because we havent seen him in anything big yet but the Uncharted film is something he would be able to do no problem

"But you know What ? feel free to believe i dont like North and wanna shoot him down "

I will because it's obvious your just another Fillion fanboy. Pointing out stupid points that Nolan is "in your world" not right for the part. How can you say someone isn't right for the aprt when the guy acts the scenes out AS the character most people want him to do in a live action role.

Baka-akaB5079d ago (Edited 5079d ago )

"I will because it's obvious your just another Fillion fanboy."

And now it's obvious you are just being a crazed North fanboy . Hence the cue to further give up . Again feel free to accuse me of being obsessed with Fillion over a movie , i'm not even sure i wanna see made for various reasons , like the O russell debacle .

I dont see the same talent North displays in VA , actually even for LOTS of small parts in games , being shown in his screen roles . Again sue me .

Nor do i believe Fillion would even be picked up given his age and him being attached to multiple commercials failure on both tv and theaters . Not to mention Holywood's taste sometimes as seen with Wahlberg for the part . I'd actually vote for Bradley Cooper as mentioned down below .

Congrats you won , keep on winning sir .

Uncharted 2 Is the Most Important PlayStation Exclusive of All Time

In a list of games that defined the PlayStation 3, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves would certainly be one of the top contenders. The blockbuster sequel to 2007’s Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune not only received critical acclaim and became a massive hit for Sony’s third console when it was released 15 years ago on October 13th, 2009, but it also cemented Naughty Dog’s future as a developer of cinematic, story-driven action-adventure games as opposed to its history of colorful platformers like Crash Bandicoot and Jak and Daxter from previous PlayStation generations. To this day, Uncharted 2 stands as one of the PS3’s best exclusives and one of the most important PlayStation games of all time.

gold_drake219d ago

it was pretty good. especially the multiplayer

KyRo219d ago

I loved this era on multiplayer games from Sony. People used to call the modes tacked on multiplayer but they were enjoyable. I loved Factions even more. I'm Still gutted that the second one isn't coming out.

-Foxtrot219d ago

Yeah, that one game where it not only has an amazing single player but the multiplayer was also just as good.

A fresh a breath air with it's more "skill focused, less is more" multiplayer in a time during COD fever where every other game with online was trying to be like it.

Shame NaughtyDog eventually did do COD like things with Uncharted 3 and 4, they ruined what made the original so good. It become an over the top arcade fest in the end.

Inverno219d ago

Ironic cause the MP was basically Halo, and Bungie helped on the technical side of things too. MP was more simple back then, I've said this before but I played U2 MP religiously. I sucked at it like you have no idea, but mah gawd did I have so much fun. Can't find an MP game that hooked me like U2s these days. Then Factions came along and while it had its problem I found new religion with it. Agh damn it why did they cancel Factions 2 bruhh.

gold_drake219d ago

i had so much fun too, played almost every night with mates or cousins baha

Relientk77219d ago

It is for sure my favorite game in the series. It's such a blast to play. The train levels still hold up and are fun as hell as well as the entire game.

RaidenBlack219d ago (Edited 219d ago )

Still remember the first gameplay video ... shooting the chasing truck and then the beautiful visuals & details whilst traversing the dilapidated Nepal streets ... perfection
Too bad Sony never ported the trilogy to PC ...

RaiderNation219d ago

I would argue it's God of War.

darthv72219d ago

I'll say, the PS3 really did sequels better than people give it credit for. Resistance 2, Uncharted 2, Motorstorm Pacific Rift, Infamous 2... all were better than their initial offerings and still hold up to this day.
