Just read that the idiot director who was given the Uncharted movie is intending to "hook up," his old pal Mark Walburg with the role of Nathan Drake . . . Wait, WHAAAAAAA?
I don't think a film about the Uncharted games needs to be made. They are already more fleshed out and entertaining than a film version could give us. But I see Hollywood working(the whole, new audience thing and the extra revenue etc). If they're gonna bring one of our industry-of-choice's best characters to the mainsteam I don't want them screwing it up. Walburg(asisde from being the most overrated actor in hollywood) is about as sullen and dull an actor as they get. He does not have the chops to play such a lively, humorousand self-depricating characteras Nathan Drake. I can name only 2 films that Walburg has done in which his prescence was a benefit(Fear/Boogie Nights). I write this not to hate on Walburg asmuch as to hate on Directors who are given projects with a dedicated followingfrom another form of entertainment(books/videogames etc) who procede to prove that they have no clue what the source material is about by making terrible mis-casting decisions such as this one. Mind you, it's still in the rumor stage but, I mean, c'mon, really?
As forDeNiro and Pesci, don't even get me started . . .
