UNCHARTED film adaptation

Yeah you see him and he doesn't exactly scream action adventure star. This was meant to be about a young Drake yet the scenes are more from the later games. True they could just be borrowing setpieces to add more action to the story otherwise we would just be getting him running along rooftops

When you can't see his face, or hear his voice, it looks almost passable.

That's not very often though. Wrong actor for Nate, wrong actor for Sully.

And that was Chloe in there as well.

Tom Hopper

I like Tom Holland but yeah, just the wrong person for the job. He just looks too young. And I know they are basically making an origin story but it needs to be someone in their early-mid 30's. Someone with a bit of mileage but still able to pick something up without groaning :) Nathan Fillion at the time of Firefly would have indeed been perfect but now he'd be good for Sully :)

Yeah, Sebastian Stan would be good.

Must admit I wasn't gone on that. Anyone who knows the games will know that they are very cinematic. The cut scenes could be lifted and shifted, the writing is that funny (Esp 2 for humour and 4 for action). But some things just don't translate well. While the bail-hopping works great in the game, it looks silly in the trailer. I mean, apart from the fact that it's Uncharted, it's fairly forgettable.

Is Sully going for a Bond smart vibe then Marky W is wrong

My main concern is that Wahlberg just seems like he's going to be another, older version of Drake, rather than Sully. Which makes sense considering I think he was originally supposed to be Drake when he signed on for the film when it was first conceived.

If it wasn't for the fact that Sully looks exactly like Thunderbolt Ross I'd have put William Hurt in the role.

I'm not sure which came first but I feel that Matthew McConaughey has already played Nathan Drake twice, in Sahara and Fools Gold. Look, it's going to be leave your brain at the door mulsh, we all know that.

Saw the trailer in the cinema the other day and I initially missed where they mentioned that Sam gave him the ring.

So, there's the mid/post credits scene:

Focus on Nathan Drake as he is looking at some artifact or something.

Off Screen voice: Hey kid

Nathan looks up and turns around:

Nathan: Sam?

Nathan Fillion enters the room:

Sam: Miss me? Well, I aim to misbehave. (Or some other Firefly quote to please fanboys :) )

They really should've given Mark the moustache and/or make him a bit grey. As it is now, it just looks like the games where you play as young and older Drake.

Wouldn't that be Wahlberg? Then missing the Father Jack Drake.

He doesn't have 52 million Instagram followers though.

Considering the number of times we would see leaking ships, people's feet going through or masts collapsing all due to their age, I don't think the boats would survive that mode of transport, especially when slammed against cliffs.

There is not much IP left completely untapped bar anime or video game live action adaptations. Sony are shooting their shot here and hoping they have the new Indy franchise for when Harrison Ford is finally too old for that ****. I'm not mad about the trailers so far but it is at least a big budget 'new to cinemas' IP and for that reason I hope it at least does OK. If it fails, Sony will just reboot something from 10 years ago.
