Well.. I have done a Uncharted Fan-Cast in the past and back then it was Bradley Cooper as well, But now that the film has landed its (3rd) Director, Seth Gordon who has made (Identity Thief) and (Horrible Bosses) the stakes are higher, and before i just put a cast together with very few details on why i actually, really need Bradley to play Nathan Drake..
Now i a lot of you say - "NATHAN FILLION" No.. just no, not Nathan Fillion, he looks to old (not that old) but no.
I've also seen some other actors to where it clicked to me, a lot of people say - "This guy can play Nathan because he looks similar and has the same hair" Let me make it clear that looks and hair does not determine whether an Actor can play a specific character.
Although Bradley Cooper doesn't look super similar to Nathan Drake, he does a little and even if he doesn't he acts just like him, and has that same type of attitude.
NATHAN DRAKE is -
1. Funny guy, sort of a douche.
2. Playboy.
3. Complete Bad-Ass.
BRADLEY COOPER has played -
All of those..
1. The A-Team.
2. The Hangover
3. Limitless.
(list of films pretty much go on..)
Honestly, being a big fan of the games and having many friends who are hardcore fans they've all agreed that if an Uncharted movie were ever to be made, Bradley Cooper is the only person they'd want to do it.. What is that supposed to make you change your mind if you don't want him to do it? No.. It's not, but the reason i brought that up is because besides me people think of Bradley Cooper when they think of a movie version of Nathan Drake because they are so similar..
Seriously sometimes when playing the games, seeing the way Nathan Drake freaks out, cusses, and just all the things he does i am like.. "Okay.. did Naughty-dog (game developers of uncharted) watch a movie Bradley Cooper is in and get inspired to do this character?".
So reasons Bradley Cooper should play Nathan Drake..
1. Both characters have similar talking voices.
2. Similar acting. (very, very similar.)
3. Similar looks (hardly)
4. Bradley Cooper is a great actor, and has won many awards and been nominated many times and has won best actor in comedy, and actor of the year.
Honestly i could point out more and more, but i don't need to go that into it. and you probably get it, I mean if you've watched enough movies with Bradley Cooper and are a true fan of the games and have played all (or most of the games) you shouldn't have to read this article to be convinced he is the best, and perfect choice.
HOPE you understood all of that, and understand the Bradley Cooper really is the best choice, Actors who may look like Nathan Drake, doesn't mean they can play him, But Bradley looks similar and acts just alike..
CHOICES for Elena in Uncharted, now the girl who does the voice for Elena, actress Emily Rose actually looks like Elena so she should really just play Elena so we will recognize the voice, and she'd look kinda similar..
If she were not for some reason to not play here, i could see Yvonne Strahovski actually pulling off a really good movie version of Elena
(This doesn't relate but I'd rather see Yvonne play Ms Marvel, how golden would it be if she played two awesome characters?)
This article was written to focus on Bradley Cooper as Nathan Drake so i am not going to get into the rest of the cast, Comment your thoughts and if you agree, If i messed up with spelling or anything sorry.
