Uncharted live action adaption - Starring Tom Holland and a horribly miscast Mark Wahlberg

Make sure Neil Zoggmann's negress power fantasy is there to beat up Nathan.

We should have seen Last of Us II coming given that character, she exists only to show how much better she is than Nathan in a fight and then fucks off out of the story without having to suffer a single negative consequence despite helping the villain because women, especially black women, should never have to face responsibility for their actions.

I actually still like UC4 a lot but I credit whatever worked about the game to whatever had already been established by Amy Henning and whatever sucked to Druckmann.

One of these days somebody is going to crack the code on how to make a good video game movie sort of like Marvel's blueprint for superhero movies, and just like Marvel when it happens you'll be flooded in so many video game movies it'll make you sick. Doubtful the director of Venom will be the one to do so.

It's got to take a generation who's grown up with games and has actual passion for the source material.

If you can make a good movie out of the board game Clue, you can make a good movie out of a video game, it just takes talent and actual passion for the source material.

I hope not. Druckmann Last Jedi-d the shit out of Nate. If Naughty Dog ever makes another Uncharted then it will be about his daughter (who was originally supposed to be a boy).

They could do a remake of Golden Abyss which most people (me included) probably haven't played.

So this is what Mark Wahlberg looks like:

It's a still from a video he posted. I don't think he looks too bad, but then I watched the video and was quickly reminded that this was a bad casting choice.

Originally Wahlberg was supposed to play Nate, but obviously things change when your movie takes a decade to kick off. Maybe they were contractually obligated to cast him in the movie, or maybe they felt bad that it took so long and gave him the role to make up for it.

So wait...this has been in development for 12 years and Wahlberg was cast? So someone saw Max Payne the film and thought "Oh yeah, this guy should be the guy we sign on!"?

lmfao

He looks like Sully rolled out of bed, dumped a bottle of cheap hair-dye on his head, used a fine tooth comb to remove the excess, lightly rinsed it and left home... aka his "Uncharted 3 flashback" look. It's alright, for a b-movie.

... wait, what the fuck you mean Sony's bankrolling this?!

That will never happen as long as Neil Druckmann is at the helm of Naughty Dog.

I dunno about never, but it would need to be spun as "the ultimate subversion of audience expectations" by, frankly, an industry bullshitter of mythical caliber who has an interest in taking something that goddamn stupid and making it work. I'm talking you would have to make the pitch full retard (and then some) for it to have a chance in hell of getting greenlit.
 
Yeah but Druckmann hates Doughnut Drake, that's why the character wasn't in U4.
 
Sounds to me it'll be an Indiana Jones ripoff.

I'd rather PLAY the game than WATCH.

The graphics on PS4 are good enough to wear they could base a film on that alone.
 
On one hand the Uncharted games are movies disguised as games in the first place, so that should translate well.

On the other hand Tom Holland is nowhere near, close to being or even being able to act like Nathan Drake from everything he's been in so far. And, if he was able to we probably would have seen it already.

That being said, he can always surprise us and prove that wrong. Probably going to bust financially with fans of the game being upset about it because Holland isn't Nathan and they'll be upset about that with people who don't care about the game thinking it's a middling average movie at best.

Name one succesful movie that's taken 12 years and 6 directors to get started on. Then add the video game curse to the mixture. Whoever is funding this movie must need a major loss on their tax returns.

Because it has a recognizable name and horror movies can be made cheaply.
I'm sure you're also happy that Scream 5 is scheduled for a 2022 release :biggrin:

Cheaply. Oh yes. Look at Netflix and the like and all their almost unwatchable recent horror. But when you have nothing better to do it's more fun than watching paint dry. Mostly.

I haven't played the Uncharted series. But they will have to give it mainstream appeal to sell tickets. and that means it won't be 100% what fans of the game want it to be. Vidya movies are very difficult to pull off. I actually liked Super Mario Bros. But it was way different from the games in every way. They chose dark and industrial over bright and cartoony. Very risky. It didn't pay off.

I think people who don't know Uncharted is a game will likely be "meh" and fans will be disappointed.
