After director David O. Russell explained his family dynamic plans for the adaption of the smash hit video game series some fans were left a little confused. Then came the choice to cast Mark Wahlberg as the games main character Nathan Drake, which left fans once again scratching their heads. While speaking to Joystiq Justin Richmond, a developer for the game denies the family Dynamic:


“First of all, all that stuff was denied by David O. Russell. He actually called us up and was like, ‘I don’t know what these guys are talking about.’”


Richmond also went on to deny that Wahlberg is confirmed for the lead role of Nathan Drake:

“Mark Wahlberg isn’t anywhere near to being confirmed to play Nathan Drake either — it’s just Hollywood scuttlebutt, apparently.”


Richmond also had this to say about the fans wanting Firefly and Serenity star Nathan Fillion for the role of Nathan Drake:

“Message received.”


As of now the Uncharted movie has no release date or any confirmed stars but will be directed by David O. Russell.

Somebody needs to tell Mark Wahlberg he doesn't hve the part yet.

Nathan Fillion? No, too old and doesn't look the part.

Chris Pine? Yes, about the right age and he looks far more like Drake than Fillion does.

Sign me up for Nathan Fillion any day, but anyone whose played Uncharted and has seen Stargate: Atlantis knows that Nathan Drake is essentially modeled from Joe Flannigan's character on that show. IMO, he would own that role too...

Fillion or Bust.

Plus, Joe Flannigan is probably the ONLY person who looks more like the character than Nathan Fillion...

In my opinion, they should get Nolan North to do it, he looks like Drake enough but come on, he's the guy who voices and motion captures for Drake so if anyone is gonna portray him right, it'll be North.

Well thank [frick] for that. However, as it was Russell who said all the above things, I think it's far more likely that Sony have noticed the HUGE negative reaction to the news and decided to take things back to the drawing board. Either way, I hope they do it right because it doesnt seem like it judging by what we've seen so far.

@Josh - You could be right... but either way it's way better this way!

@Jarren0 chris pine is about 30 and fillion is about 40. i dont think 35 would make a huge difference between either.

why cant they use what cameron and spielberg are using and make a great movie one where the characters are actually look like der supposed to. a live action version would be like Max Payne... SHITE

i like the idea of Mark Feuerstein as Drake. Have you seen him in "knucklehead" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PATYf0xPOwA

Why are you saying Chris Pine he doesn't even look like Nathan Drake lol. You gonna suggest Hugh Jackman next? Maybe Ewan McGreggor too? Yeah, my point exactly. Chris Pine is cool and all, but for [frick] sake people, get your eyes checked. Do I really need to post pictures of Nathan Drake next to Chris Pine to prove my point or should you go google pics yourself and see that they don't look alike? I'll do it if you're too lazy, just let me know. Moving on...

If Nathan Fillion was 10 years younger, he would nail it.

I say either Nolan North who voiced him (I agree with GrayFox on that). Or, a unknown who has that same charisma, charm, humor, and looks. It's possible. It's not like that person should be hard to cast correctly lol.

I don't really understand what is going on with this movie but if this info is true than I'm happy now.

@Talontd I agree Joe Flannigan has got the look for Drake and Nathan Fillion has the personailty of Drake so ethier of them would be fine in my book.
AlexDeLarge87
AlexDeLarge87 - 12/29/2010, 3:45 AM
David Boreanaz isnt bad choice either!... I say Boreanaz or Affleck!

Harrison Ford was fourty in Raiders of de Last Ark
