Not that he wouldn't be perfect as Nathan Drake, right? On Fillion's Twitter, he recently lobbied for the role:

"If ever there was a Twitter campaign, let this be it. Rise, ye Browncoats. Rise, ye Castillions. RISE!"

Fillion included a link to the Russell/Uncharted news story in his tweet.

For some reason when i was playing and had heard about the movie I was seeing Gerard Butler but THIS not THIS is perfection!Nathan Fillion is Nathan Drake if he doesn't get the role I will not watch it(well I will but in my mind it will be Fillion.)

When I first heard I thought Ryan Reynolds. But this would also be awesome.

Holy [frick]! He really should go after it! And Sony should bring him!
He is perfect as Drake, he would bring Drake personality to the screen perfectly! Now just make it happen SONY!

So he wants to play a Sh*tty Game character but not Ant-man, first Buck from H3:ODST now this. Wow I did like him, F*ck him now, he's a dumb@ss!

Goggles - 10/13/2010, 8:58 PM

Thanks, but no thanks. Nolan North is the only man that should ever play, or voice, Nathan Drake. Sorry, Fillion, but go back to doing your Castle-sh*t and forget that an Uncharted movie is even in production.

gambitfreak@ word that little b*stard can eat a big fat d*ck boosting that hess to "busy' with castle to do ant-man yet he can clearly has time for venture bros & video game movies. that lettle pr*ck proboly works secretly with the mark millar/chris nolan/bryan singer/lauren shunner donner/akiva goldsh*te/fox/sony foundation for pissing of the fans by destroying the cbm industry one step at a time. hopefullly adrean broody will come to the rescue by screen testing for the hank pym and being sighnd on by whedon all will showing fillion to grow a pare.

eightball69 - 10/14/2010, 5:31 AM

Not a bad choice.. I was thinking more along the lines of Joe Flannigan from Atlantis.. he has the cocky attitude that Drake has in the game,,

LEEE777 - 10/14/2010, 6:52 AM

HANK PYM or BUST!

AlexDeLarge87 - 10/14/2010, 7:32 AM

My cast
Nolan North as Drake (Or if you want someone more known actor how about Ben Affleck? He is not that bad actor anymore.)
Sarah Carter as Elena Fisher
Jeff Bridges or William Hurt as Victor Sullivan
Terence Stamp as Gabriel Roman (Main Baddie in the first game.)
Edgar Ramirez or Benicio Del Toro as Atoq Navarro (Main Baddie number two in the first game.)
Evangeline Lilly or Lena Headey as Chloe Frazer
Collin Chou as Eddy Raja
Michael Fassbender as Harry Flynn (Main Baddie number two in the second game)
And
Ray Stevenson as Zoran Lazarevic (Main Baddie in the second game.)
