Mark Wahlberg playing Nathan Drake

I liked Max Payne. But for those of who who know who Nathan Fillion is (Serenity/Firefly) then you know that he, without a doubt, IS Nathan Drake. He looks, sounds, and conducts himself like the character IMO. It's too late now, but he would have been 100% perfect for this role.

coolie

Good casting. Max Payne was a good movie.

Oh My GAW.....We are DOOMED!! I'd rather have Joe Pesci as Nathan Drake than Wahlberg.

I don't want Nathan Drake talking to animals in the movie!!!.... Say hi to your mom for me.

If It's not Nathan Fillion give David Boreanaz or Jeffrey Donovan a shot. Bruce Campbell should have a part in this movie somewhere.

Fail

@ronnet Nathan Fillion aint old mark and nathan are both born in 1971 lol, Nathan Fillion not only has the looks of Drake, but hes go the same type of funny charm as Drake, look at Fillion in Serenity, SiFi Drake right there :-P, also no1 is old these days looks what they did to Schwarzenegger in Terminator Salvation and Jeff Bridges in Tron Legacy :-P

That's not the Drake I was looking for. But Wahlberg is a good actor... I don't know. Cautiously optimistic.

Hmm. He's done good work but he doesn't have the charisma or the funny for the part. Pretty disappointing really, Uncharted has the goods to make for some pretty ballIin' action flicks, but it all starts with your lead, and I don't think Wahlberg's the right guy. Fillion would've been perfect, but I guess he's getting up there in years. Goddammit.

There goes my expectations.

How about Ashton Kutcher or Tom Cruise or Christian Bale as nathan drake? i think they fit better than Mark Wahlberg!!

MARKY MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARK

They couldn't have mis-cast the part of Drake any worse if they tried.

Nathan Fillion should have been Drake. He would have been perfect for the role. Sorry but I dont see Wahlberg as Drake at all. I cant even remember a movie I have seen him in where he even smiles much less cracks a joke. So many better actors they could have had.

Even tho i like Mark Wahlberg as an actor, he srysly does not fit to be Drake period, there aren't many actors in the movie industry that can actually fit perfectly as Drake, and in my point of view, Uncharted has a great potential for a movie franchise, so the lead actor, should be carefully picked, but by the looks of it, they are srysly gonna screw this one up, Mark Wahlberg, is simply not Uncharted material.

i think this would be an awsome movie if Steven Spielberg or James Cameron would do the script, directing part, as for the actor, i think that Ryan Reynolds would be a better Drake than Mark Wahlberg. I don't think Mark Wahlberg will be a good nathan drake!

Ugh, he seems like a nice person, but he is in no way a good actor. every film i see in him he has the same confused expression.

Anything is better than a Uwe Boll film.

Mark is a decent choice. I just hope the overall movie is good. I like Mark as an actor so I really look forward to this! Just not sure if Mark can hit Drake's style/sense of humor. Maybe.

thats cool but the more important question is whos going to play Sully?

Can't freakin wait to see this movie. After playing the first Uncharted, I assumed they may make a movie. And after playing the second one, I knew they HAD to make one. Not sure how I feel about Mark Wahlberg playing as Drake but he's a good actor so I'm sure it will work fine. I mean, I didn't see Jake Gyllynhal (sp?) as being a good Prince but he did a great job.

I think I'll sit this one out. No matter who you put as the lead or who you put as director or producer or whatever I just have a bad feeling and I owe it to myself to listen to my feeling......

This duo works just like Paul W.S. Anderson and Milla Jovovich. Anderson's always trying to get his wife to star in his films (the irony, never saw her in AVP) but this Russell guy is going overboard, he seems to have a fixation on Wahlberg from what I'm reading.

@islu88 agreed on Ferrel sucks now, but Wahlberg kept me going in the movie, I'm just saying he was really funny and kept me entertained. He also was pretty good in Date Night (another bad movie where he stands out)

@NooDLES-666, because it was a playable movie that hardly anyone saw/played that it would appeal to. Basically this could be the new indiana jones, and that doesnt only appeal to people on the 360/Wii but to people who never played a single videogame aswell. @Dragonsingh3000, yeah they should have gone with him although he might be a bit too old at this point. But Wahlberg is a bigger name and I do like him as an actor so I wont complain (too much).

They might as well make Mutt Williams adventures, since he's Indy's son and all, wich is who they got most of the ideas for this game...really Hollywood? you ran out of creative Screenwriters?, bunch of lazy directors.

Why make a movie of a game which was pretty much a playable movie?

Nathan Fillion Nathan Fillion Nathan Fillion Nathan Fillion Nathan Fillion Nathan Fillion Nathan Fillion Nathan Fillion Nathan Fillion Nathan Fillion

Let's just home they don't go through with this, please don't ruin such a good game, PLEASE!. @kerrman: hilarious?, yeah for like the first 15 minutes of the movie, that movie was a big dissapointment also, Will Ferrel better start doing movies like he used to.

NOOOOOOOO!!!!! Don't get me wrong, Marky Mark is actually a really good actor, but there is no way he would be able to play Drake as well as, say, Nathan Fillon. I mean, come on! He practically IS Nathan Drake!

@PlatinumPaladin Go see The Other Guys, Mark Walhberg is hilarious! However I still wish Fillion got the role..

With smash hits like "The Happening" and "Max Payne", I don't know why anyone would be nervous about Marky Mark. :P

So then this is going to be the Hobbit version of Uncharted?

Your man irishscott99 makes a good point. The reason I think everyone is against Wahlberg, or the reason I myself am nervous, is that he always plays really wooden hard-men types. Maybe he's got a comedian in him that we don't know about.

This could be REALLY good, or kinda fail. I'm thinking it'll be closer to being really good.

Was hoping Fillion would get the role, oh well will have to wait and see how marky mark plays this one out.

Hollywood; where it's all about who you know and not how talented you are or how well you fit the role.

im going to have to wait and see how this turns out. Im kinda speculative on the choice of Wahlberg playing Nathan Drake, but im sure it'll all look great in the end final production.

When was the last time you heard anyone say, "No but wait, Mark Wahlbergs in it so its gonna be good."

I, like the majority of the rational world, was rooting for Nathan Fillion to play Drake. But given that the fans rarely get exactly what they want, Wahlberg might not be a bad choice. But he HAS to learn to lighten up and, god forbid, smile!

LOVE THE CAST! ALL OF IT ESPECIALLY MARK WAHLBERG AS NATHAN DRAKE!! :D

I really think that this choice is all wrong, but hope they prove me wrong with the final product. I want this movie to be good, because the artifact hunting, ruin exploring adventure genre needs a good jolt of life.

AWESOME! he is Max Payne from Nathan Drake EPIC! can't wait to see him as Nathan and hopefully they won't cancel his role for Max and Drake excellent and scandalous work

take out the uncle and father and just put in sully and elana and i will watch it.

I think he can do it...

And yes, I rooted for Nathan Fillion too. His personality as seen in Castle, Firefly, and Serenity so matches Nathan Drake...and besides, they have the same first name for Christ sake. There goes my 2 cents.

That's like casting Michael Cera as Ezio or Altair... JUST WRONG! Nathan Fillion, Clive Owen, Ewan McGregor, lots of other people that aren't ridiculous. On that note, why not give it to Michael Cera or Jack Black it would make more sense?

As long as he doesn't do any of that "Mark Wahlberg talks to animals" acting...
