After the confirmation that David O. Russell has signed on to write and direct the big-screen adaptation of Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, people have started to wonder...who's gonna play Drake? Well, Nathan Fillion - of "Firefly" and "Serenity" fame, among many other things - has been suggested by more than a few gamers, and guess what? Fillion himself seems to want the role."
The latest "Deadpool & Wolverine" trailer gave us a glimpse at the MCU's golden boys kicking butt and taking names - as well as a whole mess of Easter eggs.
With the new The Crow remake coming soon, we take a look back at the 30-year-old cult classic original–and where the stars are now.
Kaam Chalu Hai Review: Based on true events, this movie is thought-provoking and inspiring
I do not like Fillion as Drake. I have never been found of this idea like it seems the masses are. For one, he looks too old (just talking appearance as years don't look like they've been kind to him). Secondly, just no. I don't like it. Don't see him in the part really. I don't see the appeal. He doesn't come across well enough as that "every man" to me.
Really the only argument I ever hear for him to be Drake is "Oh look at him...he looks just like Drake". I'm sorry but that's not a compelling argument for me. The personality is FAR more important in this role than looks. Granted we don't want Kevin James or Wesley Snipes playing Nathan Drake, but it doesn't have to be an exact look-alike either.
Most important is that the personality is nailed. Need someone who is an every man, who has an air of confidence/arrogance, but at the same time is funny and has a good sense of humor and comedic timing.
That being said, my vote for Drake: James Roday.
You know what? Given what I know of Uncharted, I don't hate that idea.
