Forums - Sony - Nolan North Hints Heavily At Hugh Jackman Assuming The Role Of Nathan Drake

lol...threads like this are hillarious.

So many crybabies...

Will it make any difference if they cast Jackman or Reeves or Fraiser? Its not like the material they are casting for requires a lot of specific charater acting. Anyone could be made in to Nathan Drake...he was designed by a commitie and he is every guy.

EDIT - its all about $$$ and which actor will bring more of it to a corporate production such as uncharted will be...so expect to see Hannah Montana as his sidekick if execs believe it will make them more cash.

I actually think David Boreanaz looks like Nathan Drake.

Huge Jackman would be a bad choice; but i think someone like (bear with me) Brendan Frasier could fit Nathan Drake IMHO. I can't think of any other actor that looks remotely similar to him.

Pfft, Brendan Frasier? Might as well sentence the movie to doom right now.

Look, no actor looks just like Drake does. Drake is a freakin' videogame character, you won't find an exact real life look-alike. But Hugh Jackman looks similar enough, and he's a big name star. Just look at what Angelina Jolie did for the original Tomb Raider movie (275 million in the international box office). Add in similar sex appeal for Hugh Jackman (well, directed towards women and gaymers of course), and you're looking at a very successful movie.

Excuuuse meeeee (no pun intended) Thats why I sad bear with me. I don't mean it literaty when I say they need to find someone to look almost exactly as the character, unless they modify the face digitaly or with a mask. I guess I didn't make it any clear (I'll admit that).



 

Nathan Fillion looks like Nathan Drake. Same first name and similiar personalities he plays.

I was referring to everyone in the thread with that post.

I guess I didn't make that clear.



 

 

I'd much rather have Jackman than Nathan Fillion. I personally think he'd be horrible at it.

What's great about Drake is his everyman quality. He shouldn't be the classic action hero type, he should be someone who looks completely overmatched in every situation. Jackman is too classic hollywood, I don't know if he can pull it off.



Though it brings money and fans to the table,I hate when movies like this get well known actors when there would be so much better no names for the part.Just like iron man they got Terrance Howard who to me was a horrible war machine he didn't fit the part,they should have got Michael Jai White for war machine and like Ben affleck for daredevil that was horrible he sucks in general lol.
