I hate that this movie is happening.

 

[SuperYoshi]

They're obviously going for a young Nate and Sully. I think Tom Holland has potential to be a great young Nate.

 

[Revolutionary]

Question is can he do a great job playing the character.

 

[CatLady]

I think he looks OK as Sully, the main thing is if he is able to pull off the essence of the character. Sully is such a freaking GREAT character.

 

[yurinka]

They have been shooting Uncharted stuff in Barcelona these days. In some of the pictures of the set you can see a very cool old school car, or the kid with some Nate-ish clothes:

 

[Carna]

I think this movie will reveal very quickly that Uncharted never had a good story, or good characters.

Lol yeah, what does it tell us when the best videogame adaption is the sonic movie, of all things. Lmao

 

[DJR]

As long as he sweats like a hooker in a church. Wait, you bought a hooker to church?

 

[Airbus Jr]

Uncharted: Short people version.

Uncharted : Midget's Fortune

 

[GrayFoxPL]

Don't like the 'stache?

Don't take the job.

Sully is the best character in the series. Wahlberg will fuck it up. Hard.

 

[LaughingStock]

Doesn't look bad. But it's Marky Mark....

Why people keep hiring Mark Wahlberg i'll never understand.

 

[OmegaSupreme]

Looks the part surprisingly, it's just the voice

We must have played different games.

He's the cheap alternative.

 

[CouzinD]

A lot of crying in here over this.

its just a movie, lads. It’ll be fine.

 

[Cr1ptkeeper]

A midget teenager playing Nate, and Marky Mark playing Sully. Written by the blokes who wrote Transformers The Last Knight, and Men In Black International.

Trash fire incoming.

Mark is a midget too, he's the same height as Tom Holland.

 

[Airbus Jr]

Mark is a midget too, he's the same height as Tom Holland.

Same here

Not trying to diss short people but nate and sully from the game seems to be tall

They get the cast totally wrong this time

 

[EverydayBeast]

I’ll protect the movie it’s only an adventure franchise, you don’t need to worry about effort from Mark and Tom, Uncharted movie is too good of an opportunity to pass up. Day 1 mother fu*kers.

 

[Kokoloko85]

Why not get someone more suited in age to the role.... who in charge o casting? Pretty bad job

 

[M1chl]

Based on that Vita game Nate is suprisingly tall, however in other games, not so much...

 

[TGO]

We must have played different games.

For a young Sully obviously

 

[OmegaSupreme]

For a young Sully obviously

Oh yeah. I forgot about that whole segment.

 

[BusierDonkey]

I'm assuming this movie is going to be a shit sandwich. So far they have two short low-effort cosplay variations in the two most important roles. Wahlberg can't act unless the role is "be Marc Wahlberg" and I can't see Tom Holland pulling off Nathan Drake, he's one of those actors that will end up playing "younger" characters his entire career. He literally puffs out his cheeks to do his "serious" look.

As I'm already expecting the worst, I really hope this is as awful as humanly possible so that it's worth watching when it hits streaming services in 6 months for that reason alone. I like watching shit movies when I can't sleep.

 

[BadBurger]

That's Mark Wahlberg with a moustache, alright. Maybe they needed someone who was older yet had the physicality to be leaping around and climbing stuff when a stunt double wasn't an option. Or maybe they figure he will put asses in seats. Fingers crossed.

 

[OmegaSupreme]

It'll be a minor miracle if it's not awful.

 

[ruvikx]

They need a "big name". Tom Holland is just that guy from the Marvel movies. He's a nothing.

 

[INC]

me watching this dumbster fire

 

[Piku_Ringo]

The film is a destined flop. Does it really matter how accurate they are in the casting for a shittily written film?

 

[Deleted member 740922]

Walhberg has proven over his career that he’s a great actor

 

[Javthusiast]

I think he looks perfectly fine.

 

[Old Retro]

Looks like he's cosplaying Freddy Mercury.

 

[molasar]

 

[John Mullins]

Don't like the 'stache?

Don't take the job.

Sully is the best character in the series. Wahlberg will fuck it up. Hard.

You can see it's a fake moustache even.

 

[Exoil]

Not going to lie, he actually looks the part a hell of alot more than I expected.

 

[Kydd BlaZe]

I love Mark Whalberg and I really liked Tom Holland as Peter Parker but wtf is this casting??!! This is gonna be a YIKES for me, dawg.

 

[Jack Videogames]

He could easily be Nate instead

 

[GrayFoxPL]

You can see it's a fake moustache even.

Damn, you're right.

Shit smear mustache.

 

[Dr.Morris79]

..Hope it's as good as Doom.

 

[TintoConCasera]

Monster Hunter looks better

 

[LOLCats]

looks like somebodies uncle

 

[Allnamestakenlol]

This is going to be amazing. Just you guys wait.

 

[eyesabitdull]

I think this movie will reveal very quickly that Uncharted never had a good story, or good characters.

If it's shot on location in some exotic locations and has good action, I'll watch it.

Gtfo here with that trash opinion.

The movie? Likely to be trash.

The game? That's the dumbest thing I've heard. You can complain about the gameplay, but the characters are effing ace compared to most games.

Care to elaborate? I´m legit curious about what makes them effing ace, imo they were like your average characters in any tv show.

 

[MastaKiiLA]

Action + bants. This is Marky Mark's calling card. He's gonna rock this, just wait and see. The question is, will the script/writing be good enough? I can see Tom and Mark having excellent chemistry on-screen. Zombieland director at the helm too. This should be a solid flick.

[lastmessiah]

Mark is a midget too, he's the same height as Tom Holland.

Wahlberg at 5'8 is actually a good inch taller than this Holland kid https://www.celebheights.com/s/Tom-Holland-5792.html

celebheights is very fair and accurate at estimating real barefoot heights.

 

[carlosrox]

I didn't think it was a good choice but he doesn't look that bad.

The kid however, I still think he looks bad.

 

[Camreezie]

He looks terrible , what's gonna be worse this or monster hunter?

 

[FunkMiller]

Think the same about Indiana Jones? Because there’s nothing about the plots and characters in those movies better than what they do in Uncharted. In fact, by the fourth game Nate is far more three dimensional than Indy ever was.

 

[Jose92]

Looks like Mark Wahlberg wearing a moustache, very disappointing casting tbh.

 

[TintoConCasera]

Maybe I should replay them someday, because right now I don't remember such three dimensionality. (Played them ages ago)

But really, I'm not saying this as a critique (I enjoyed the games, specially 2 and 4), it's just that I would like to know what makes them specially well written compared to other characters from games like, I dunno, God of War or RDR2.
