According to Deadline, Sony Pictures are in talks with Seth Gordon for him to helm the live action adaptation of the critically acclaimed and top selling Playstation video game franchise, Uncharted. The story has also been continued in comic book format through DC. The Horrible Bosses and Identity Thief director once helmed the celebrated documentary King of King, in which he immersed himself in video game culture, so it's a world he's definitely familiar with. Safe House scribe David Guggenheim penned the screenplay, and the studio liked it so much that they got him to write Bad Boys 3 for them. The hunt is now on to fill the lead roles. How do you guys feel about this news?

Im not gonna lie, i feel like Ryan Reynolds would be a great Drake. Also, based off the picture in this article, it kinda looks like him.

I recently just played the first three Uncharted games within a week and I loved them all. I'm cautious about this seeing as how there are no good adaptations of video games, but I'm curious as to where it's going.

I think Chris Evans would be a good Nathan Drake.

If Joe Flanigan from Stargate Atlantis were a bit younger, he'd be the best choice for Drake. Bruce Campbell for Sully. :)

The 304th fancast role for Nathan Fillion.

Why do we even bother saying Fillion or Ackles? lol we should know by now that they'll pick someone 'out of the box' like Michael Cera lol and expect us to be happy about it...

Here's Joe Flanigan for those who don't know. On top of the fact that he looks a lot like him, his character's attitude on SGA was very similar to Drake as well.

Chris Pratt, Bradley Cooper or Chris Evans. Easy.

Ryan Renolds would be a pretty good pick for Drake.

@MrBlackJack

No, probably not... I love the games so much that it's impossible for me to think of an actor to portray Drake correctly. Nathan Fillion is definitely not the first person I think of for a lot of roles like many do. I am however all for Tom Selleck as Sully. He just need to stay alive for the franchise...

Shut up with Nathan Fillion and give it to Bradley Cooper

Fillion, or I'm out.

Actually maybe Jack Gyllenhal or dare I say, Henry Cavill could portray Drake correctly.

@MrBlackJack

He could still possibly retire or (hopefully not) pass on within the 6 years to make a trilogy. He'd be 75 once the series is over. Sully is more like 55+

@JamesMan

I could totally see Jack Gyllenhal starring as Nathan!

You people have some seriously uninspired choices. Chris Pine? Ryan Reynolds? Bradley Cooper? Come on...THIS should be Drake:

Casting Nathan Fillion as Nathan Drake is as unimaginative and unoriginal as casting Bryan Cranston as Lex Luthor.

"Bryan Cranston played an evil bald guy in Breaking Bad. He should be the evil bald guy in Batman vs. Superman."

"Nathan Fillion played a witty, good-looking adventurer in Firefly. He should play the witty, good-looking adventurer in Uncharted. I'm such a genius!"
