Can't wait for this movie to be trash as well.

Same writer as:


Oh boy

The last 4 major films he's written are: The Grey, The A-Team, Pride and Glory, and Smokin' Aces. All have IMDB user ratings of either 6.7 or 6.8 out of 10. Not great, but could be worse.

 

[Dominator]

Cool, I'm down. Could be a fun movie series just on premise alone.

The Grey was one of my favorite films of 2011, that script was fantastic. I have hope.

 

[CMojicaAce]

Emily Blunt as Elena?

 

[JayEH]

Why

 

[AudioEppa]

This may be the most unecessary game to film adaption ive heard of. The game are already paced so much like a film that this just feels redundant

But you see now we get even more realistic looking skin, can't pass that up.

David Boreanaz or bust

[Dalibor_San]

Tom Selleck would be a great fit for Sully, I just hope it turns out to be a decent script.

 

[Ridley327]

Dude wrote and directed The Grey, my movie of the year for 2011.

Optimistic-ish.

Honestly, that's why I'm somewhat hopeful that this won't be a complete disaster, since Carahan does have really good instincts for survival stories. Granted, The Grey isn't exactly a pulp blockbuster, but it's not as wildly divergent as some might think.

 

[prag16]

They should get Nathan Fillion for this.

If it took place in the same timeframe as the UC4 epilogue, sure. Otherwise no.

 

[Nightengale]

We already have an Uncharted movie.

 

[BigEmil]

I read that as "Produced by Atlus" first I was like what then I reread lol

 

[Gnome Scat]

We already have an Uncharted movie.

Never knew that was the same guy.

 

[Knuckle Sandwich]

Don't get your hopes up. The video game movie curse is real.

 

[triplestation]

you cant make fillion drake because he's freaking 6'2

look at lazarevic vs drake in this scene

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKkMYyidae4#t=2m

lazarevic will be 6'2 at most and drake should be at most 5'10

this guy looks the most like drake to me:

dudes 5'5 but drake's supposed to be kind of a agile circus dude

 

[SenjutsuSage]

I don't get why people are so opposed to Wahlberg. It's cause of Ted isn't? Isn't it!? You can admit, damn it! A guy makes a few movies centered on a teddy bear, and all of a sudden he's getting hate. Teddy Bears are people, too!

 

[Inuhanyou]

UC was already a generic indiana jones action movie ripoff, why make a movie in reverse? What is the situation on the TLOU movie anyway?

 

[triplestation]

dude wahlberg is max payne not drake

 

[robotrock]

Is this the guy from Rat Race?

 

[Falchion]

And here we go.

 

[matrixman92]

Margot Robbie or Rosamund Pike as Elena please

 

[triplestation]

Is this the guy from Rat Race?

yes, thats him

now you know he can be the right kind of goofy too!

 

[Glix]

There's only one choice,

He pretty much played Sully in Burn Notice, he'd be the best choice for the role imo.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJ_2GzKDVwg

I genuinely thought that was Mitt Romney at first

 

[GravityInsanity]

I'll be sure to post this again if Rotten Tomatoes takes another video game movies soul.

look at this, this is basically nathan and elena in a helecopter

amy smart for elena!

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Movie GAF-casting will never not be hilarious. Hey, people financing this $100 million movie, put the guy from the Garfield movie or this tv actor that nobody knows in the lead!

Idris Elba to play Elena

Why would you want someone who is not the least bit charming to play ND? Lol. Have you seen him in movie? Mark wahlberg is a terrible actor

 

[J_Viper]

Same writer as:


Oh boy

If you're implying The Grey is anything but excellent, we're gonna fight

and The A-Team is underrated fun

 

[Seesaw15]

He's too fat and old.

He lost a lot of weight after Castle ended. Now he's just old.

 

[Salty Rice]

This means shit.

Its being "underway" for years with existing scripts.

 

[GlassAwful]

Why not Chris Evans? He's an A lister, age seems just about right, and he's looking to move on from Marvel and the Captain America role. Though video game movie probably won't be desirable for him.

Hell you don't even need to restyle his hair.

Sully needs to be someone with a smooth gruff voice like he's been drinking scotch and chewing on cigars for most his life.

 

[Ivan 3414]

Does it really matter? There's no way this movie won't be shit regardless

It's because Nate is fucking hot and Wahlberg... isn't. Plus, he's way too old for the part. Nate is maybe in his late twenties in Drake's Fortune, Wahlberg is 45 and looks it.

 

[chitnex]

brendan fraser or i walk

 

[Budi]

I hope they don't cast Daniel Day-Lewis in this. His preparation for the role would take too many lives.

 

[Jacksinthe]

It's because Nate is fucking hot and Wahlberg... isn't. Plus, he's way too old for the part. Nate is maybe in his late twenties in Drake's Fortune, Wahlberg is 45 and looks it.

I would hope this is a one-time thing not based on any story from the game, tbh.

We have those games to play to see those stories, to have those experiences. I would probably not care to see it if it I knew everything that was going on.

Crossing my fingers for a new heist.

 

[WinFonda]

this guy wrote Stretch and I thought that was a pretty good movie; sharp witted and funny.

i'd say he's legit

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Does it really matter? There's no way this movie won't be shit regardless

Which is exactly why they are going to cast someone like Wahlberg, maybe Bradley Cooper if the are lucky.

 

[Harlequin]

Why not Chris Evans? He's an A lister, age seems just about right, and he's looking to move on from Marvel and the Captain America role. Though video game movie probably won't be desirable for him.

Evans could work, yeah:

He's not perfect in terms of facial similarity but he's not too old, he's hot so yeah, I'd be happy with him as Nate I think.

 

[Knuckle Sandwich]

Was he Franklin or Bash? I can't remember. He's not getting a starring role in an action movie.

Matt Damon or bust.

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

This should be the easiest video game to adapt to date, but I wouldn't doubt them fucking it up once again.

 

[mortal]

This feels so pointless...

This may be the most unecessary game to film adaption ive heard of. The game are already paced so much like a film that this just feels redundant

My thoughts, exactly. The whole point of the Uncharted games is to be able to play as the hero of those kinds of movies. Complete with over the top set pieces.

 

[HalterGratis]

Joe carnahan and marky mark? ffs...

 

[Spinluck]

This may be the most unecessary game to film adaption ive heard of. The game are already paced so much like a film that this just feels redundant

this is my issue with an Uncharted film as well.

 

[Prototype Viktor]

John Boyega as Drake
Louie Anderson as Elena
Tracy Morgan as Sully

 

[Jedi2016]

They have a script. Big whoop. Wake me up when they start shooting... then I'll believe that it's "underway".

 

[Spinluck]

Movie GAF-casting will never not be hilarious. Hey, people financing this $100 million movie, put the guy from the Garfield movie or this tv actor that nobody knows in the lead!

but they look kind of like the character to me!

 

[Harlequin]

Even so, I'd want to see Nate in his heyday which would probably be mid twenties to late thirties. Plus, if they're going with the game timeline, then Nate had been out of the treasure hunting business for a while before the events of A Thief's End which was supposedly his last big adventure so even if you sneak any extra adventures into the timeline for the purposes of the film, it'd have to be when Nate was at least a few years younger than he is in ATE.

 

[vaderise]

They're making Uncharted 5 already?

Nice shitpost
