Sounds like a straight to dvd movie. Not to pick on you dude, but I think you are being a bit fanboyish here. Nolan North is great, but he doesn't strike me as somebody with screen presence. I doubt people are going to want to see a movie with a voice actors they aren't familiar with.

And it would be disappointing for them to simply rehash a plot out of the game. Drake is more than the sum of his parts. He's like an Indiana Jones type character, ripped straight out of the pages of 50s serials and planted into the modern world. These stories are meant to be episodic in nature. Jones is always chasing after some new relic in every movie. Give us a new story, that retains a lot of the qualities of the games. The most important aspect of the games is the characters and themes. It's not that there is a specific plot that defines Drake, outside of his unrelenting quest to unveil the discoveries of his long lost ancestor, Sir Francis Drake.

The framework for a great adventure movie is there already. I think the biggest mistake they could make would be for them to try to rehash the game. It would be awesome of course to see them recreate some of the action set pieces, but have some faith!

I don't think all videogame adaptations are terrible. Silent Hill successfully captured the tone of the games, and Mortal Kombat was excellent in the way it recreated all the stages. These films are not without their flaws, but I still had fun with them. Then again I don't go into a movie like Resident Evil or Tomb Raider expecting a masterpiece. I still think Uncharted has the potential to be a great movie in it's own right.

I don't think you give Naughty Dog enough credit though. They have created a rich enough universe - there is room for interpretation as long as certain elements are kept intact. The film must undoubtedly follow Drake's efforts to uncover some mystery first discovered by his ancestor. The character dynamic of Drake, Sully and Elena must stay intact. The globe trotting and over the top action set pieces are also a must.

The filmmakers must also be allowed to put their own stamp on the product. This is a point that I think is lost on fanboys, especially in the realm of comics. Part of what made Nolan's Batman trilogy so memorable is that he was able to put his own 'stamp' on the property. If you are only interested in adapting a property verbatim, than what is the point? The medium of film is different from that of comics and videogames, and for good reason.

Also, I doubt a studio is going to be interested in budgeting a multi-million dollar picture without a star headlining. This isn't necessarily a bad thing! I love Nolan North but as I said, there is a difference between voice acting and stage acting, stage actors are really good at their job for a reason.

I dont understand why people want Nathan Fillion, him and Nolan North are both no names in Hollywood and big blockbusters so why not get Nathan Drake himself then a person who looks a little like him

Wherever there is money to be made hollywood will try to take it

I agree with you metroid would be awesome to see adapted into a movie but nope Hollywood rarely actually listens
