First here's some mood Music for the fan cast:
Uncharted is an award-winning action-adventure platform video game series developed by Naughty Dog and published by Sony Computer Entertainment for PlayStation consoles. The series follows modern-day treasure hunter Nathan "Nate" Drake, journalist Elena Fisher and former companions Victor Sullivan, Chloe Frazer, and Charlie Cutter as they travel around the world to uncover (and steal) various historical mysteries.
In better terms Uncharted is like a Joss Whedon Styled Modernization of Indiana Jones, equipped with gunfights, women, chases, dialogue, and cinematic interactive cutscenes that blurs lines between gameplay and cinematic graphics. The series is fresh ground for fans to get into adventure games, with each game taking the series to new heights and standards it has been the subject of an anxiously awaited feature film adaptation.
The Series consists of 4 Blockbuster titles, released for the Playstation 3 and Playstation Vita:
This is my take on a properly worked on Uncharted movie, featuring detailed and carefully thought out casting on Composers, Cinematographers, Editors, Writers, Directors, and Performers. This has been a project of a month’s worth of work and thoroughly rechecking and reapproving many choices to find what I believe is the right ensemble to bring the series together into a feature film format.
Original Motion Picture Score: A film score (also sometimes called background music or incidental music) is original music written specifically to accompany a film. The score forms part of the film's soundtrack, which also usually includes dialogue and sound effects, and comprises a number of orchestral, instrumental or choral pieces called cues which are timed to begin and end at specific points during the film in order to enhance the dramatic narrative and the emotional impact of the scene in question. Scores are written by one or more composers, under the guidance of the film's director and/or producer, and are then usually performed by an ensemble of musicians - most often comprising an orchestra or band, instrumental soloists, and choir or vocalists - and recorded by a sound engineer.
Michael Giacchino (Star Trek, John Carter): First and foremost I do not want the series theme/Nate’s Theme changed at all. In fact that is my favorite aspect of the Games is it’s score. The reason I use Mike is because he has done some video games and other adaptive materials. He adapted the original theme for Star Trek into the Ending Credits, while with this he could adapt the theme throughout the film. He’s got the talent and the background that warrants using the original theme while adding his own twist to it. He’s by far one of the most rising Composers in film today and could become the dominate composer of this generation.
Cinematogrophy: The term Cinematographer has been a point of contention for some time now. It is usually synonymous with Director of Photography, though some professionals insist this only applies when the Director of Photography and Camera Operator are the same person.
Dan Mindel (Star Trek, John Carter): His John Carter work, along with Star Trek, is amazing, he’s shown depth and attention to what exists, what was made from the books, and what was new to add for the movie, his landscapes and city work and design is beautiful much like his work with the camera itself. He can add a sense of Ancientness mixed with fluency and modernization.
Editor: The Film Editor is the person who assembles the various shots into a coherent film, with the help of the Director. There are usually several Assistant Editors.
Lisa Lassek (Avengers, Serenity): Her work on Serenity and Avengers has added it’s own spirit and added to the films. Her work adds to the spirit of the film and helps capture their uniqueness and feel making them something special to be experienced.
Screenwriters: Screenwriters are responsible for researching the story, developing the narrative, writing the screenplay, and delivering it, in the required format, to Development Executives. Screenwriters therefore have great influence over the creative direction and emotional impact of the screenplay and, arguably, of the finished film. They either pitch original ideas to Producers in the hope that they will be optioned or sold, or screenwriters are commissioned by a producer to create a screenplay from a concept, true story, existing screen work or literary work, such as a novel, poem, play, comic book or short story.
Ted Elliot (The Pirates of the Carribean {Film Franchise}, The Lone Ranger)
&
Terry Rossio (The Pirates of the Carribean {Film Franchise}, The Lone Ranger): Few writers in Hollywood have really done the work these two have done as well as they have done. They capture the feel of comedy, action, love, and drama. They have the spirit of a good period piece and modern setting wrapped up well. Not to mention they were able to script an enjoyable thoughtful film out of an amusement park ride, they adapted an amusement park ride! If they can turn that into a 4 film franchise I’d love to see what they could do on Uncharted.
Director: Directors are responsible for overseeing creative aspects of a film under the overall control of the film producer. They often develop the vision for a film and carry out the vision, deciding how the film should look, in other words they make their vision come to life. They are responsible for turning the script into a sequence of shots. They also direct what tone it should have and what an audience should gain from the cinematic experience. Film directors are responsible for deciding camera angles, lens effects and lighting with the help of the cinematographer and set design with the production designer. They will often take part in hiring the cast and key crew members. They coordinate the actors' moves, or blocking and also may be involved in the writing, financing and editing of a film.
Joe Johnston (The Rocketeer, Captain America: The First Avenger): One thing we all notice about Uncharted is that it’s half a modernization and half a homage to Indiana Jones. It’s got spirit lovable characters and a great story. And for director I think Joe really has the talent to capture the essence of Uncharted. While having done fantastic work on adapted material before, he adapted Captain America, he got a suit that didn’t look silly and he was able to make it work on film. His work captures the period piece feel for the film while adding a sense of modern humor action and movement to it. He’s worked on Raiders of the Lost Ark and has really shown good range as a director, if there is anyone I trust to make an Uncharted Film (especially with my chosen cast) it’s definitely Johnston.
Uncover the dark secret behind the 400-year-old massacre of a Spanish expedition as Nathan Drake follows the murderous trail of an ancient and secret Spanish sect. Caught in the middle of a rivalry between Jason Dante - his old friend - and Marisa Chase - the granddaughter of an archeologist who has mysteriously vanished without a trace - Nate races into the treacherous river basins, undiscovered temple ruins and karst caverns of Central America in search of a legendary lost city, only to find himself pushed to the edge of the Golden Abyss...
NATHAN DRAKE [Height: 6’1”, Age: 30’s]: Nathan "Nate" Drake is an American treasure hunter and fortune seeker, deep-sea salvage expert, action-pro, professional thief, the playable protagonist, and the only character to appear in nearly every form of media for the Uncharted series. (Besides Drake's Trail, in which he is mentioned but does not actually 'appear'). Nate claims to be the descendant of famous English explorer Sir Francis Drake. He is married to journalist Elena Fisher as of the end of the latest game, Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception.
OLIVER HUDSON [Height: 6’1”, Age: 35] (Rules of Engagement {T.V. Series}, The Breed): This is an actor I’ve known for a while, and I’ll be honest I had never really intended to put him in a fan cast because I never though I’d find a character that matches him, but I was wrong. For me He fits Nathan Drake to a “T”. He’s done action-oriented roles in the Horror Movie “The Breed” (which while it’s not a great movie I enjoyed it) in which he’s shown talent for action and a leader in himself, while also looking a surprisingly lot like Drake himself and also having the comedic timing to play off the character’s more charming side. This is probably one of few choices on this cast that I am just bullheaded about as a performer he is my ideal Nathan Drake.
VICTOR “SULLY” SULLIVAN [Height: 6’2”, Age: 50’s]: Victor Sullivan commented that he had a lousy father and childhood, and as a result was never interested in starting his own family. As a young adult, he served in the navy. By the time he was forty years old, he was a free lance thief, taking contracts and stealing objects for a price. He came under the patronage of Katherine Marlowe, with whom he developed a romantic relationship. While attempting to steal Sir Francis Drake 's ring and astrolabe in Colombia, he encountered teenaged runaway and street urchin Nathan Drake, who had designs on them as well. After saving the boy from Marlowe's thugs, he offered to look after him and teach him, beginning a decades-long friendship between them. Throughout the years, Nate and Sullivan often got into dangerous situations, even jail time. Despite these hitches, Sullivan raised and protected Nate like his own son, and stood by him even when his actions got them into trouble. Nate grew to love Sullivan as his father, and became very protective of him as time went on. He later showed great concern for Nathan's well-being when the latter began displaying a dangerous amount of "recklessness" during Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception.
GEORGE CLOONEY [Height: 5’10”, Age: 51] (Oh Brother Where Art Thou, The American): Casting Sully you want someone who can play a womanizing treasure hunting bastard. Well to be honest George Clooney is damn near exactly like Sully. With the exception of Treasure Hunting(unless you consider acting Treasure Hunting, then he’s exactly the same) Sully is a lovable character and I had George in mind, which is the reason I started this cast. He’s just perfect for the role in my opinon He’s got the talent, look, and voice to play Sully. His personality has a lot of Sully in it and he just personifies the character in all aspects. Now I don’t hate the other choices (Bruce Campbell or Jeff Brides, both are good) but with George you get someone who’s young enough to do the action scenes and grow into proper age with the character. Clooney is my ideal Sully.
MARISA CHASE [Height: 5’1”, Age: 30’s]: She is the granddaughter of an archeologist, Vincent Perez, who mysteriously vanished without a trace. she is involved in a rivalry with Jason Dante, an old friend of Nathan Drake. Chase owns a gold amulet, which was very important to her grandfather.
OLIVIA THIRLBY [Height: 5’4”, Age: 25] (Juno, The Darkest Hour): She was first actress I settled on. She’s done some great work and I’m anticipating her in Dredd. She’s really shown some range and has done some very diverse roles and has a stunning likeness to the character.
JASON DANTE [Height: 5’10”, Age: 40’s]: Jason Dante is the secondary antagonist in Uncharted: Golden Abyss. He is an old friend of Nathan Drake. Involved in a rivalry with Marisa Chase, in the early chapters of the game he allies with Nathan Drake but soon joins Roberto Guerro. Later, Dante decides to work alone and hire Mercenaries and Heavy Weapon Troopers.
ADAM GOLDBERG [Height: 5’11”, Age: 41] (Saving Private Ryan, A Beautiful Mind): When I was playing Golden Abyss just meeting the character I knew I wanted Adam to play him, they have a very similar voice, a likeness, and Adam is a talented actor who’s done some really good drama in his career.
ROBERTO GUERRO [Height: 5’11”, Age: 40’s]: Roberto Guerro was the military dictator of Panama before being overthrown by a coup d'etat. He escaped execution by the new regime and, accompanied by loyalists, formed a revolutionary army to hound government forces and eventually regain power. However, Guerro quickly realised that without a good source of funds he would be unable to compete with the military strength of a new government, so indulged in abductions and drug running to build up the cash.
DAVID ZAYAS [Height: 6’, Age: 49] (The Expendables, Dexter): He is basically just pitch perfect, Guerro is basically just a more sinister and heartless version of his characters in the Expendables. He’s a fantastic actor who’s becoming a cult actor with his work in Dexter and would be a wonderful addition to the cast.
Nathan Drake, who believes himself to be a descendant of famed explorer Sir Francis Drake A 400-year-old clue in the coffin of Sir Francis Drake sets the modern-day fortune hunter on an exploration for the fabled treasure of El Dorado, leading to the discovery of a forgotten island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. The search turns deadly when Drake becomes stranded on the island and hunted by mercenaries. Outnumbered and outgunned, Drake and his companions must fight to survive as they begin to unravel the terrible secrets hidden on the Island.
NATHAN DRAKE [Height: 6’1”, Age: 30’s]: Nathan "Nate" Drake is an American treasure hunter and fortune seeker, deep-sea salvage expert, action-pro, professional thief, the playable protagonist, and the only character to appear in nearly every form of media for the Uncharted series. (Besides Drake's Trail, in which he is mentioned but does not actually 'appear'). Nate claims to be the descendant of famous English explorer Sir Francis Drake. He is married to journalist Elena Fisher as of the end of the latest game, Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception.

This is probably one of few choices on this cast that I am just bullheaded about as a performer he is my ideal Nathan Drake.

Nate grew to love Sullivan as his father, and became very protective of him as time went on. He later showed great concern for Nathan's well-being when the latter began displaying a dangerous amount of "recklessness" during Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception.

Well to be honest George Clooney is damn near exactly like Sully. With the exception of Treasure Hunting (unless you consider acting Treasure Hunting, then he’s exactly the same) Sully is a lovable character and I had George in mind, which is the reason I started this cast. He’s just perfect for the role in my opinion He’s got the talent, look, and voice to play Sully. His personality has a lot of Sully in it and he just personifies the character in all aspects. Now I don’t hate the other choices (Bruce Campbell or Jeff Brides, both are good) but with George you get someone who’s young enough to do the action scenes and grow into proper age with the character. Clooney is my ideal Sully.
ELENA FISCHER [Height: 5’4”, Age: 20’s-30’s]: Elena Fisher is an American journalist, TV personality and Foreign Correspondent appearing in all of the console games and the female lead, and main love interest, of the series. By the events of Drake's Deception she is married to Nathan Drake.
MAGGIE GRACE [Height: 5’9”, Age: 28] (Taken, Lockout): Aside from her likeness she has the brass talent to carry the role and give us an authentic, original, and faithful portrayal of Elena Fischer. I know the amount of actresses that have been thought off and Maggie has never been thrown in despite the fact she is of prime age, look, and talent. She’s played a tough woman before (Lockout) and has given some very authentic and noticeable performances that steal the show away from the actors which really adds to the idea of her and Nathan having a kind of flirtatious rivalry in their relationship.
GABRIEL ROMAN [Height: 5’11”, Age: 50’s-60’s]: Roman wore a white shirt with blue stripes and rolled up sleeves, and beige pants with brown leather shoes. He carried a snub nosed .38 revolver in a holster on his belt, which he kept on his shirt. He seemed to be in his late fifties to early sixties. He spoke with a calm English accent.
PIERCE BROSNAN [Height: 6’1”, Age: 59] (Goldeneye, Remington Steel): Gabriel Roman is an evil british bastard, plain and simple, But the reason I chose Pierce is because for the film and for the actor it would be a good addition, no doubt Pierce could play this role with his eyes closed and it would add some diversity for the former Bond actor, not to mention for a while I’ve been wanting to add him in a fan cast. The thought behind this choice was not in short, he’s got the talent and his star power would help boost the actor’s moral and cause them up the ante, and add to the box office as popular as Brosnan is.
ATOQ NAVARRO [Height: 6’2, Age: 30’s-40’s]: Atoq Navarro was an archaeologist that also leads a team of highly trained South American mercenaries. He is the main antagonist of Uncharted: Drake's Fortune. Throughout the game, he demonstrates knowledge of El Dorado. He wears a brown vest, jeans, black leather shoes, and has a black beard and curly hair.
LUKE EVANS [Height: 6’, Age: 33] (Immortals, Clash of the Titans {2009}): I can’t exactly say a specific reason why Evans fit as Atoq. He is just a fitting actor who’s never really had a chance to play a demanding, dark villain. His british accent could simply be attributed to him being found by Roman at a young age (instead of being found in a bar by Roman).
EDDY RAJA [Height: 5’8”, Age: 30’s]: Eddy Raja was the tertiary antagonist of Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, a protagonist in Uncharted: Eye of Indra, and the leader of an Indonesian pirate gang. He also has a sister, Rika. He was one of many treasure hunters interested in acquiring the fabled El Dorado, and formed an alliance with Atoq Navarro and Gabriel Roman. They competed with Nathan Drake, Eddy's archrival, (whom he's already been well-acquainted with by the start of the game), Elena Fisher, and Victor Sullivan. He was once said to be "best friends" with Nathan Drake, before his eventual demise.
EDGAR RAMIREZ [Height: 5’10”, Age: 35] (Wrath of the Titans, Vantage Point): It’s a pretty simple role for him, something to give himself a bit of physical role instead of Political (as he was in Titans) really throwing him into the character to see what you get.
Uncharted: Among Thieves takes Drake on a journey across Nepal and the Himalayas in a search for the lost city of Shambhala. It reunites most of the cast from the first game, such as Elena Fisher and Victor Sullivan and introduces the stealth mechanic and new characters Chloe Frazer (a new love interest who has history with Drake), Harry Flynn (a shifty former partner of Drake's), and Zoran Lazarević, a Serbian war criminal and the game's primary antagonist.
NATHAN DRAKE [Height: 6’1”, Age: 30’s]: Nathan "Nate" Drake is an American treasure hunter and fortune seeker, deep-sea salvage expert, action-pro, professional thief, the playable protagonist, and the only character to appear in nearly every form of media for the Uncharted series. (Besides Drake's Trail, in which he is mentioned but does not actually 'appear'). Nate claims to be the descendant of famous English explorer Sir Francis Drake. He is married to journalist Elena Fisher as of the end of the latest game, Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception.

Nate grew to love Sullivan as his father, and became very protective of him as time went on. He later showed great concern for Nathan's well-being when the latter began displaying a dangerous amount of "recklessness" during Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception.
GEORGE CLOONEY [Height: 5’10”, Age: 51] (Oh Brother Where Art Thou, The American): Casting Sully you want someone who can play a womanizing treasure hunting bastard. Well to be honest George Clooney is damn near exactly like Sully. With the exception of Treasure Hunting(unless you consider acting Treasure Hunting, then he’s exactly the same) Sully is a lovable character and I had George in mind, which is the reason I started this cast.

JEFF MYHRE [Height: 5’10”, Age: 20’s-30’s]: Jeff and Elena were trying to track down the psychotic war criminal Zoran Lazarevic, whom NATO believes was dead. In Nepal, they encounter Nathan Drake and Chloe Frazer in which were hunted by Lazarevic's crew. After a successful escape from some soldiers, they all end up in a temple, in which wasn't a coincidence because Nathan Drake was trying to find it.
JOEL DAVID MOORE [Height: 6’2½” Age: 34] (Avatar, Grandma’s Boy): He's a decent actor who's played this type of supporting role before and has the look and spirit of the character.
CHLOE FRAZER [Height: 5’8”, Age: 30’s]: Chloe Frazer is an Australian treasure hunter introduced in Uncharted 2: Among Thieves. Chloe and Nathan Drake were in a relationship for some time in the past, since before the events of Uncharted: Drake's Fortune. In Among Thieves, Chloe acts like a double agent, secretly helping Nate while also supporting Zoran Lazarevic's forces and Harry Flynn, the two antagonists searching for the fabled Cintamani Stone in Shambhala. Little is known about Chloe's history. She and Nate were in a relationship in the past, but Nate walked out on her for unknown reasons. Despite this, both of them still had strong feelings for each other. Chloe dated Flynn for a while, and they tracked Nate down to ask his assistance in a job they were planning. She returns in Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception, helping Nate and Sully in London and Syria.
ROSE BYRNE [Height: 5’9”, Age: 32] (X-Men First Class, Troy): I wanted a natural Aussy for the role. Rose is a fantastic actress and had a strong performance in X-Men First Class. This role would do her career and her some good giving her larger sense of diversity. I’m sure she would give a very femme fetal styled performance which is definitely a larger aspect of Chloe.
KARL SCHÄFER [Height: 6’, Age: 70’s-80’s]: Karl Schäfer is a character that appears in Uncharted 2: Among Thieves. He was a German expeditioner who was once a treasure hunter like Nathan Drake. He had once been told to find the entrance to Shambhala, but he decided to not continue his Ahnenerbe expedition after discovering the power of the Cintamani Stone.
MICHAEL CAINE [Height: 6’2”, Age: 79] (The Dark Knight Trilogy, The Prestige, Inception): When it came to this choice I switched through Pierce, Jeremy Irons, and even considered Alan Rickman but in the end I just knew Michael was perfect for the role, he’s got a likeness but even more importantly he’s got a mentor-like voice and style of movement and speaking. He’s just someone who can naturally inhabit the character without even trying.
TENZIN [Height: 6’2”, Age: 40’s]: Tenzin is a Tibetan explorer featured in Uncharted 2: Among Thieves. He is currently the only main character within the series that is unable to speak English.
HUN-BYUNG LEE [Height: 5’10”, Age: 41] (G.I. Joe, I Saw the Devil): Hun’s work is great he’s a fantastic actor which is a shocker noting his background in music. He’s not really a choice for Tenzin that a majority would settle on, to be honest he would be an actor who could really inhabit the adventurous side of the character.
HARRY FLYNN [Height: 6’4”, Age: 30’s]: Harry Flynn was a British treasure hunter and the secondary antagonist in Uncharted 2: Among Thieves.
ALEXANDER SKARSGARD [Height: 6’4”, Age: 36] (True Blood, Battleship): I wanted an actor who would play a Harry Flynn with a little different mannerisms and different style while not being something else. Alex is always thrown around for Sabretooth and I have never seen him as a good candidate but for someone who is a more politically stylized antagonist I thought Alex really had a handle of that and really fit the role.
ZORAN LAZAREVIĆ [Height: 6’2”, Age: 40’s]: Zoran Lazarević was a Serbian war criminal and the main antagonist in Uncharted 2: Among Thieves. A former Soviet intelligence officer turned international warlord and arms dealer, he was capable of unspeakable acts of terror.
MARK STRONG [Height: 6’2”, Age: 48] (Sherlock Holmes, Green Lantern): I originally envisioned Skarsgard for this role but as time went on I just couldn’t commit to that choice, This role needed a different performer and In Mark I found the type of actor I want to see play Zoran. Mark is a fantastic Villain who really learns the character and inhabits his emotions and actions which, with Zoran, is really different of a character then Mark has played, Zoren is a warlord and Mark is someone who can really play with that aspect and give us a likeable villain out of it.
LT. DRAZA [Height: 6’, Age: 40’s]:Almost nothing is known about Draza's life prior to the events of Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, except that after joining Zoran Lazarević's army of soldiers, he eventually became Zoran Lazarević's right-hand man, and one of his most trusted soldiers.
JAVIER BARDEM [Height: 6, Age: 43] (No Country for Old Men, Biutiful): The role called for a really good actor who plays well in a supporting circle and grabs attention.
Fortune hunter Nathan Drake is catapulted headlong into an adventure that takes him on a daring trek into the heart of the Arabian Desert in a search for the fabled "Atlantis of the Sands." This journey pits him and his mentor Victor Sullivan against the occult treachery of a shadowy clandestine organization and its ruthless leader. When the terrible secrets of this lost city are unearthed, Drake's quest descends into a desperate bid for survival that strains the limits of his endurance and forces him to confront his deepest fears.
NATHAN DRAKE (YOUNG) [Height: 5’7”, Age: Teens]: By the time Nate turned five, his mother had committed suicide and his father relinquished custody of him to the state. He ended up in the Saint Francis Boys' Home, where he was raised by nuns and taught Latin. As he grew, he learned a great deal about the voyages of Francis Drake. At some point during his teens, this knowledge led him to Cartagena, Colombia, where the Maritime Museum was holding a Francis Drake exhibit.
JOEL COURTNEY [Height: 5’9”, Age: 16] (Super 8, The Haunting Hour): In Super 8 this kid showed talent for Drama. As young as he is and as good a performer he is it would be a good move for him, as young as he is, build up his resume with good geek cred-projects to build his name up in the acting and geek community as to build a strong system of fan-base support. The kid has the talent and would sell himself well as a young Nathan Drake.
NATHAN DRAKE [Height: 6’1”, Age: 30’s]: Nathan "Nate" Drake is an American treasure hunter and fortune seeker, deep-sea salvage expert, action-pro, professional thief, the playable protagonist, and the only character to appear in nearly every form of media for the Uncharted series. (Besides Drake's Trail, in which he is mentioned but does not actually 'appear'). Nate claims to be the descendant of famous English explorer Sir Francis Drake. He is married to journalist Elena Fisher as of the end of the latest game, Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception.

This is probably one of few choices on this cast that I am just bullheaded about as a performer he is my ideal Nathan Drake.
VICTOR “SULLY” SULLIVAN [Height: 6’2”, Age: 50’s]: Victor Sullivan commented that he had a lousy father and childhood, and as a result was never interested in starting his own family. As a young adult, he served in the navy. By the time he was forty years old, he was a free-lance thief, taking contracts and stealing objects for a price. He came under the patronage of Katherine Marlowe, with whom he developed a romantic relationship. While attempting to steal Sir Francis Drake 's ring and astrolabe in Colombia, he encountered teenaged runaway and street urchin Nathan Drake, who had designs on them as well.

Nate grew to love Sullivan as his father, and became very protective of him as time went on. He later showed great concern for Nathan's well-being when the latter began displaying a dangerous amount of "recklessness" during Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception.
GEORGE CLOONEY [Height: 5’10”, Age: 51] (Oh Brother Where Art Thou, The American): Casting Sully you want someone who can play a womanizing treasure hunting bastard. Well to be honest George Clooney is damn near exactly like Sully. With the exception of Treasure Hunting(unless you consider acting Treasure Hunting, then he’s exactly the same) Sully is a lovable character and I had George in mind, which is the reason I started this cast. He’s just perfect for the role in my opinon He’s got the talent, look, and voice to play Sully. His personality has a lot of Sully in it and he just personifies the character in all aspects. Now I don’t hate the other choices (Bruce Campbell or Jeff Brides, both are good) but with George you get someone who’s young enough to do the action scenes and grow into proper age with the character. Clooney is my ideal Sully.
ELENA FISCHER [Height: 5’4”, Age: 20’s-30’s]: Elena Fisher is an American journalist, TV personality and Foreign Correspondent appearing in all of the console games and the female lead, and main love interest, of the series. By the events of Drake's Deception she is married to Nathan Drake.
MAGGIE GRACE [Height: 5’9”, Age: 28] (Taken, Lockout): Aside from her likeness she has the brass talent to carry the role and give us an authentic, original, and faithful portrayal of Elena Fischer. I know the amount of actresses that have been thought off and Maggie has never been thrown in despite the fact she is of prime age, look, and talent. She’s played a tough woman before (Lockout) and has given some very authentic and noticeable performances that steal the show away from the actors which really adds to the idea of her and Nathan having a kind of flirtatious rivalry in their relationship.
CHLOE FRAZER [Height: 5’8”, Age: 30’s]: Chloe Frazer is an Australian treasure hunter introduced in Uncharted 2: Among Thieves. Chloe and Nathan Drake were in a relationship for some time in the past, since before the events of Uncharted: Drake's Fortune. In Among Thieves, Chloe acts like a double agent, secretly helping Nate while also supporting Zoran Lazarevic's forces and Harry Flynn, the two antagonists searching for the fabled Cintamani Stone in Shambhala. Little is known about Chloe's history. She and Nate were in a relationship in the past, but Nate walked out on her for unknown reasons. Despite this, both of them still had strong feelings for each other. Chloe dated Flynn for a while, and they tracked Nate down to ask his assistance in a job they were planning. She returns in Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception, helping Nate and Sully in London and Syria.
ROSE BYRNE [Height: 5’9”, Age: 32] (X-Men First Class, Troy): I wanted a natural Aussy for the role. Rose is a fantastic actress and had a strong performance in X-Men First Class. This role would do her career and her some good giving her larger sense of diversity. I’m sure she would give a very femme fetal styled performance which is definitely a larger aspect of Chloe.
CHARLIE CUTTER [Height: 5’11, Age: 30’s-40’s]: Charlie Cutter is a British fortune hunter and a new character introduced in Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception. Initially believed to be an antagonist, soon revealed to be otherwise.
LUKE GOSS [Height: 6’1”, Age: 43] (Death Race 2, Hellboy 2: The Golden Army, Blade 2): He looks exactly like the character, he’s a natural brit same as Charlie, and he’s not Jason Stathem (which is seriously over used for the role) Luke is always a great addition to any cast having some serious talent that seems to be spread out between amazing performances.
SALIM [Height: 6’2”, Age: 40’s]: Salim is a sheikh of the desert dwelling Arab ethnic group, the Bedouins. He wears a blue headscarf with a bandolier strapped to his blue torso.
ODED FEHR [Height: 6’2”, Age: 41] (The Mummy, The Mummy Returns): He has practically played this role before in The Mummy films Between his character in those films and Salim there are honestly only a few differences and it was an easy choice really to go with Oded as Salim.
KATHERINE MARLOWE [Height: 5’8”, Age: 50’s-60’s]: Katherine "Kate" Marlowe is the primary antagonist in Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception. Marlowe is British, and the sinister, manipulative and coldly calculating leader of a secret Hermetic order formed 400 years ago by Queen Elizabeth.
EMMA THOMPSON [Height: 5’7”, Age: 53] (Men In Black 3, Harry Potter {Film Franchise}): She’s picture perfect for the role, shes also young enough to play the younger Marlowe and older one, and she’s in the same age range as George Clooney. Playing an evil ***** like Marlowe could really help Thompson’s career and really show that she can play a lot more roles then she’s used to or cast for.
TALBOT [Height: 6’2”, Age: 30’s-40’s]: Talbot is Katherine Marlowe's right-hand man, and a British, secondary antagonist.
SAM ROCKWELL [Height: 5’9”, Age: 43] (Iron Man 2, Moon): I know Talbot is a brit but I just can’t ignore how amazing Rockwell would be, He’s a fantastic actor who just played an American version of my ideal Tablot in Iron Man 2. If he can do a british accent then he is perfect for the role.
HARRIS [Height: 5’10”, Age: 30’s]:Harris was one of the agents who accompanied Talbot to France while searching for an amulet - with the other half being in Syria.
JOSEPH GORDON LEVITT [Height: 5’9”, Age: 31] (Inception, Hesher, The Dark Knight Rises): As small as his role would be and as good a performer as he is this could really get JGL’s attention, he’s got the talent to carry the character and it would be nice to see him play a more physically active villain.
RAMSES [Height: 5’9”, Age: 50’s]: Rameses is the tertiary antagonist of Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception.
DANNY TREJO [Height: 5’6”, Age: 68] (Predators, Machete): Danny is just the most stylish actor you can get. He’s done a lot of roles and a role like Ramses is something he’s done before. He’s got a load of geek cred and this would only add more, he’s got a good voice and a good look to give fans a threatening live action Ramses.
