| TRios_Zen said: Of all the things mentioned in this article, Mark Wahlberg as the star is the LEAST worrisome thing. What is reported here leads me to believe that they are going to butcher this IP by "hollywood-izing" it. Which in gamer terms = they are going to screw up another video game to movie translation. I'd take Walhberg as Drake in a heartbeat if they guaranteed me they stick to the characters and scenarios as crafted by Naughty Dog, vs trying to change things for a different market, regardless of lead actor. |
I agree with this, I can deal with Mark Wahlberg as the lead, if they stuck to the video game script and set peices. But when they said "the game didnt have much there besides the concept and the name", I raged. The game storyline is perfectly made for a big time movie.
Its just like comic book movies, Hollywood writers think they can improve on anything, despite being far worse writers than the original creators.
