It's been discussed in OT a bit in the Jurassic World thread, but come on! He's perfect:

He's talented, funny, super-charismatic, can probably nail the dramatic moments, and could have chemistry with a board of cardboard. Doesn't hurt that he's handsome as fuck too. Who else can wear a Henley shirt as well as Nate? I'll tell you: Chris Pratt.

Adam_Roman · Jun 13, 2014

I could definitely see it.

Night Angel · Jun 13, 2014

Nope. Nathan Fillion.
He actually covers all of the criteria you listed very well.

Discotheque

WooHooAlex · Jun 13, 2014

That is... Actually a great idea. I've been hoping for Bradley Cooper but Pratt could definitely pull it off.
Nice call.

Discotheque · Jun 13, 2014

Still think Gerard butler is the most obvious choice for this if he can do American accent. Or just make him Scottish, not a big deal as long as the personality is there

Plz no fillion, that guy doesn't belong in films

jiggle · Jun 13, 2014

Chris pine better choice
And Maggie grace has to play elena

If it were ten years ago, I'd agree.

If only Nathan Fillion was 10 years younger.

But.... I don't know, use the magic of makeup!!!!

Joeki11a · Jun 13, 2014

He seems like a goof in everything he does

Why would they go straight to old Drake in terms of the story?

This. It's time to let the Fillion dream die.

REV 09 · Jun 13, 2014

i'd be ok with this. he has the personality.

Bradley Cooper would be an ok choice as well.

kirblar · Jun 13, 2014

Is Chris Pratt going to become the white Idris Elba?

Is Nathan Drake 43 years old?

Younger "Michael Fassbender for _____ established book/comic/game series protag" stand-in.

I'd say the issue is more if Butler can do comedy more than the accent. He's usually kind of a dour bore in most movies.

Laundry · Jun 13, 2014

This man.

neogaffer1 · Jun 13, 2014

Wait, is there an Uncharted movie or this just fans wishing there was?

Idris Elba is also the white Idris Elba.

McDougles said:

In Uncharted 4, maybe.

UpUpDownDown · Jun 13, 2014

Naw.

Stealth ginger can't play Drake.

maquiladora · Jun 13, 2014

I can see it.

Night Angel · Jun 13, 2014

McDougles said:

The new one is?

Let me dream, dammit!

But yeah, Cooper or Pratt would also be solid choices for what undoubtedly would end up being a shitty movie that sours the series for fans forever (much like, I suspect, the R&C movie).

Lilalaunebaer · Jun 13, 2014

Could see that.

And Bruce Campbell as Sully.

Ah, yes. You are correct.

But Nathan Fillion looks a lot more like Nathan Fillion, I think.

Nathan Fillion or bust

I see it.

reptilescorpio · Jun 13, 2014

Yeah Pratt would be perfect, you can believe him as an action hero with some laughs. Cooper would also do okay but Pratt would probably hit the mark easier.

Depends on how much money Sony have to spend I guess!

lt519 · Jun 13, 2014

I could see it but pratt would have to slim down a bit.

Corpekata · Jun 13, 2014

Let's not pretend like Hollywood doesn't nearly always cast down age wise. Nearly everyone is playing characters 10 years younger than they are. Drake's already what, mid thirties in the first game? He doesn't need to be played by a spring chicken.

TheCowboyPoet · Jun 13, 2014

I've never thought about this before but.... yes, yes, a million times yes.
Fillion is too old.
Plus Star Lord > Malcom Reynolds

ndawgdrake · Jun 13, 2014

You guys got it all wrong. Nolan North after a couple of rounds of P90x would be the best choice.

TalonJH · Jun 13, 2014

Im still pulling for Josh Hopkins.

For comparison.

That's the scripts letting him down. I saw him on craig ferguson and he's actually quite a funny guy, he's got that natural wit. Plus rock n rolla.

Kelsey · Jun 13, 2014

The good thing about Pratt is he could play both Drake and Donut Drake.

spectyre · Jun 13, 2014

imho Chris Pine would be ideal.

IdreamofHIME · Jun 13, 2014

Santiako · Jun 13, 2014

Aiming too low, Pratt should definitely star the inevitable Indiana Jones reboot. He is perfect for that role.

Massa · Jun 13, 2014

He's a great actor.

Lactose_Intolerant · Jun 13, 2014

Sn4ke_911 · Jun 13, 2014

HAHAHAHAAHAAHAA!!

ok, first he has to learn how to act.

Morrigan Stark · Jun 13, 2014

Fillion isn't too old. He'd be perfect and besides, Drake in UC4 looks a bit older/worn anyway, so it'd fit. But so what if he's a decade older than the character, that's never stopped actors playing characters younger than they.

It should be Nate Fillion and no one else, dammit!

evil solrac v3.0 · Jun 13, 2014

any brown haired white man in Hollywood can play Nathan Drake.

My favorite character in comedy. Other than anything on The Office.

Freeman · Jun 13, 2014

They should at least give Nathan Fillion the role, there is no denying they got most of Drake's look from him(so what if he is older now).

That is a common practice by ND, you can clearly see it in their concept arts. I remember one, I think for Tess, where they have 6 different versions of her and you can easily see that each one is derived from a famous actress, not to mention the early versions of Ellie.
