No, you won't. Because they aren't writing it.
Sure is hard to read before complaining.
This is the same Sony Pictures that passed on the chance to make a God Of War film allowing it to go to rivals Universal and then passed on the film rights to Heavy Rain and Ratchet and Clank.
Keep it up guys. You're doing a bang up job.
I genuinely think that would work. Tatum has that goofy charm (21 Jump St.) coupled with an action screen presence that would make for a really good Drake.

He's in no shape for the kind of stunts that an Uncharted film would undoubtedly have. Maybe 10 years ago, but definitely not now.
To be fair, there is no way in hell of a God of War film being anything remotely like the games; the kind of violence that goes on in them would be an automatic NC-17, and with neutered violence, what would the point be?
Nathan Drake will always be high.
This is an unfortunate situation based on their track record, but luckily if it is like written their other movies I can ignore it. I hope it doesn't damage the brand or influence how the game is written (especially if the series leaves NDs hands). But I'm getting way ahead of myself. The movie will probably never be made.

He's not a Hollywood leading man either, which is actually the important thing.

Yeah, Nathan Fillion got a bit tubby. And is all the more bro-dorable for it. But he's too old and outta shape for Drake now.
But he was an awesome Dogberry in Much Ado About Nothing.

In the case of Uncharted, though, it's the quintessential example of a "cinematic adventure". At least Tomb Raider had the fact it was only loosely defined by its narrative to excuse how much of non-starter the film adaptation was.
It seems like the world's most obvious good idea, but, given the success of the mainline Uncharted games, I'd wager Sony doesn't want to pull her off them.

It can't be any worse than the last Indiana Jones film so they should go for it.
If Russell Crowe can look like he does in NOAH at 48, I'm sure Fillion can get in shape well enough.

God of war is even more difficult to imagine as a movie. At best it will be just like clash of the titans and we all know how good that movie was.
You could just not watch his movies.
Eh. That is true but the age of the actual audience that knows about the God Of War games and plays them is definitely younger than 17 for the most part.
I think a 300 esque fantasy actioner is an easy sell. Casting would be an issue but then could probably be a little creative in that regard.
At 42, and a TV star to boot, he's too old to anchor a potential franchise.
Sad but true.
Maybe like twelve years ago. Fillion is too old and out of shape now.
The whole "Wow fuck him i hope his career ends" thing is lame. It just comes off as jealous.
Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn.

Aww was hoping for some ludonarrative dissonance jokes!
This Is The End just came out in UK, have heard it's great.

Didn't she write the Vita game?
I bet she could knock out ninety pages of pithy pathos while making UC4.

I totally forgot that the Uncharted movie was happening. It's news to me that it got canceled. When did this happen? I'm glad it did though.

In an ideal world Amy Hennig would write it, Naughty Dog would animate it, and the original cast would reprise their roles. I'd love to see a CG short film from ND.
I'm not sure, but if she did write the film, she'd need to be on set throughout filming, too, as scripts see many revisions throughout production. Some things simply don't work out as well as one had imagined, changes in circumstances necessitate scene rewrites, etc.
Edit: Golden Abyss was written by Bend's John Garvin.

I'd rather just play the game if it's going to be CG.
I wouldn't mind Hennig writing it but the chances of that are slim to none.

You do know they made a comedy about cancer called 50/50? It was great.
Second page, and still didn't read the OP. Are Naughty Dog fans always this knee-jerky?
Writers on film sets are notoriously redundant, hence the 'like a writer on a movie set' meme, but even so, that's only two months, and she could just pen the drafts until the shooting script, and have someone take over if she can't do it.
Who knows really, I think even doing the film is a bad idea. Having a playable Indiana Jones film is quite a cool idea, but bringing it back to film is going to be embarrassingly transparent.
I doubt it ever happens.

I'm feeling it. Sort of a Will Ferrell Land of the Lost thing going on.
What else would it be? An Indian Jones ripoff that took itself seriously? gtfoh...

I love their movies but I don't think I want them writing Uncharted. Their comedic sensibilities are very different from the humor in Uncharted games.
In the latter case you risk the substitute's vision for the film clashing with Hennig's or the quality of the script being uneven and I assume that's something Sony would want to avoid. That said:
I agree with this. It's redundant to make a film out of a video game franchise that chiefly defines itself as a cinematic experience.
I'm not to sure; evidently Sony is still trying to get things in order and, who knows, perhaps the pieces - as delightfully odd as they may be -- will come together.

That's understandable, but if there's going to be an Uncharted film, I'd want to see an Uncharted film. I don't have a whole lot of faith in Hollywood making a faithful adaption. I imagine the end result will be far removed from what made the games great in the first place - obviously I want to be proven wrong, but we'll see. And as much as I'd like another Uncharted game, I wouldn't necessarily miss playing through lots of gunfights in exchange for a well crafted CG film.

I only just realized Nathan Fillion used to be way thinner because of this thread.
I saw him in an episode of Castle a few months ago for the first time and thought "THAT'S who NeoGAF wants to play Drake? He kinda looks similar but wtf?"
Now I understand why. Fit Fillion would be an awesome Drake.

It'd basically be Clash/Wrath of the Titans.
