Nathan Fillion Wants to Be Nathan Drake - Uncharted Movie

OriginalJonty · 12 Oct 2010 at 13:34

I wasn't sure whether to put this in this section or the movie section but I think more fans of the game reside here. Anyway, it's as the title says and that is that Nathan Fillion, of Firefly/Serenity/Castle fame wants to play the role of Nathan Drake in the Uncharted movie.

I can't think of a better actor to do this. So is he the guy to do it? My opinion, yes. Yes he is.

That would be beyond brilliant. He's made for this role. :cool:

would be perfect

Perfect for the role.

Can't think of anyone anywhere near better.

This film is going to be a modern day Indiana Jones?

Hopefully it'll be less goofy.

He'd be great for the role, lets hope they don't give it to Brendan Fraiser.

If they do go with Fillion and stick relatively close to the games ideas, then it should be bettter imo. Would be fantastic to get a trilogy of films from the Uncharted games.

Was actually thinking this, Nathan would be brilliant for the role

Shameless stolen from the Escapist comments, their really are too many similarities

Demoniser · 12 Oct 2010 at 15:19

lol firefly the game. There is an uncanny resembelance when you think about it.

Similarities aside, Nathan Fillion would be perfect for the role. A film could be epic if it's done well.

Haha. That's great.

Uncharted movie? wow i didnt even know one was going to be made. Nathan fillion would definately suit the role!

mcwildcard · 12 Oct 2010 at 17:00

I'd rather see Ryan Reynolds take it on, he's a great comedy actor, but can easily carry the action angle as well.

Chris1712 · 12 Oct 2010 at 17:10

Would fit nicely imo. This guy also looks loads like him, used to drive me mad when I'm stuck eating my dinner in front of Holby City trying to realize why I recognized him!

Nathan Fillion is awesome,
Never played Uncharted but anything with him in it is great

Gashman · 12 Oct 2010 at 18:55

yeah he was beyond brilliant in firefly, serenity. he was also cool in Halo: ODST as well as Buck, think hes quality guy and would suit the role well.

afoster · 12 Oct 2010 at 19:05

It would be near perfect casting if they did this.

Hopefully it works out - the fact that Nathan himself is keen is a good sign.

Nolan North should play Nathan Drake, anyone else is wrong http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0636046/. I hope the voice actress for Elena gets a part in the film, look for Emily rose and you will understand why.
