Marky Mark confirms De Niro and Pesci to cast of Uncharted film

[QUOTE="BH14"] Marky Mark has had some decent roles, and has done a good job. However, his acting ability actually fit those roles. As long as he plays a serious/emotionless meathead he does pretty good. But trying to be sly/witty/funny.... no, I just don't see him pulling it off. 00Killaz00

How can Mark Wahlberg be such a "emotionless meathead" and he is getting rave reviews and oscar consideration for his latest movie in "The Fighter"? Wahlberg has a long list of great movies that he played in. He has an impressive resume. People are acting like Vin Diesel was casted. And Robert DeNiro is getting bashed now in this thread?! The man who played in Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, Goodfellas, Heat, Casino and Meet the Parents.

Where is the long list of better fitting actors than Mark Wahlberg and Robert De Niro? People complaining but not naming better fitting actors. Somebody said "Chris Pine" from Star Trek movie on movie board and I nearly spat out my cereal.

Well I always thought Drake should be casted as Morgan Freeman but that's just me.

And the most suited actor for the role has already been named: Nathan Fillion. Drake's character was practically modeled after him in both personality and appearance. Unless you've seen Firefly you would never understand. Honestly, I'd rather see someone completely new that has an excuse for not pulling it off than someone I KNOW will not pull it off. Have you not seen Max Payne, man, c'mon! :PMrSelf-Destruct

Max Payne? Never seen it but a bad game so I doubt no actor could save that movie. Nathan Fillion looks a lot like Nathan Drake video game character and I am sure that is big reason why he was selected and also Wahlberg's price tag. I don't know much of Fillion's work outside of Slither which is a movie that I liked. I never played Halo or watched Desperate Housewives and White Noise 2. Serenity and FireFly? Never seen them because I am not big into Sci-Fi movies. Lets hope he does the video game justice and not make another "House of the Dead" translation.

I saw Firefly... what I'm saying is... we have Nathan Fillion as the actor BUT Morgan Freeman does a voice over!

Thanks for proving my point.

Are you saying that you believe Roberty De Niro "forgot" how to act? He didn't forget how to act. He got older and he got lesser movie roles. It always happens in Hollywood especially with older females. Very few roles for older people. There isn't a huge demand for 67 year old leading male roles. They aren't casting 60 something year olds in movies like Taxi Driver, Cape Fear and Raging Bull. He is a great actor.... period.

Mark Wahlberg seems like a terrible, terrible casting choice.

I'm not sure why Uncharted really needs a movie when the game is already an interactive movie.

Well, with so much hate towards this film, don't be surprised if it actually ends up being good. I can recall so many times where people have whined and complained about a certain movie or game or sport, when it actually ended up being really great. Too many people complain about something that didn't happen yet. Don't judge something that hasn't happened yet. Judge it after you watch it. Too many whiners and complainers these days.

You're right. It could be good but the fans have good reasons to be upset and they're voiceing their opinion. I've seen some potential movies reduced to utter garbage thanks to obviously bad choices for casting and direction. When will Hollywood learn that the fans know what they're talking about and that you shouldn't stray too far from the source?

Uncharted is being made into a movie because obviously the games are awesome. If they change it up too much it'll fail no doubt. Some recent examples the come to my mind is The Last Airbender movie and the Scott Pilgram movie. The former was an abysmal movie and the latter was excellent. The former deviated from the source the latter didn't, simple as that.

Well, regardless of who ultimately appears in the Uncharted movie, one thing is definitely guaranteed...

I forgot about 007, but yeah Silent Hill was a pretty good movie.... I still say that without hesitation though as the examples are far and few....
