EXCLUSIVE: Mark Wahlberg Is Still The Frontrunner To Play 'Nathan Drake' In UNCHARTED
Mark Wahlberg was attached to star in the big screen adaptation of Uncharted back when David O. Russell was directing, but we've now learned that he's still very much the frontrunner to play Nathan Drake!
Uncharted has been in development for a number of years now, and the fact that the critically acclaimed video game series still hasn't received the big screen treatment is baffling to say the least. Sony have certainly tried, and a number of writers and directors have been attached at one point or another. The latest is Horrible Bosses helmer Seth Gordon, while franchise fan and Zero Dark Thirty scribe Mark Boal is writing the latest draft of the script. Who will star in the movie?
The Pain & Gain star was even shown a "mock trailer" which is said to have blown him away. Again, a lot might have changed in the past six months, but Wahlberg was extremely close to joining the cast at one point and Pratt could have been approached before these talks took place (remember, his possible involvement was only mentioned casually in a report from one of the trades). We also have a couple of very minor details about the production, including the fact that both Australia and Mexico have been looked at for shooting locations. Gordon meanwhile is said to be keen to cut back on green screen, something which should make fans of the action franchise happy.
