I also don’t think Tom Holland is going to pull that many people into seeing a video game movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkStar189 Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 If it had to be an Avenger type actor I would have rather have seen Chris Pratt in the role. I really wouldn't want him either but not liking the Tom Holland choice. That's almost like Shia LaBeouf in that Indiana Jones movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EternallDarkness Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Definitely a hell of a lot of other people with big box office draw they could have offered the role to that would have made more sense. Tom could have pulled off the flashbacks of teenage Drake from Uncharted 4, but adult Drake? Hell no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLeon Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Do we know anything about the time period/story of the movie? With this casting, it seems like they're trying to fill the gap between the main story and the flashbacks with a young adult Nathan Drake. That might make more sense than trying to just retell the story of one of the games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spawn_of_Apathy Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 I wonder if going with Tom Holland is to have an actor young enough he can do the role for 10 years without staring to look too old to be doing all that stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kal-El814 Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Literally everything about young Drake in the games was pointless and boring, why in god's name would they engage in that for the movie? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nokra Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Nathan Fillion was the correct choice. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greatoneshere Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Sounds like most people in this thread don't know the Uncharted movie is planning on starring a young Nathan Drake, and other than height, Tom Holland can certainly look like a 20-something Nathan Drake. Tom Holland is 23 years old. And that's beneficial because if it does well he could theoretically do sequels for a long time, being young still.

He still looks nothing like Drake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexy_shapiro Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Most people complaining about this seem to forget he has a gymnastics background and can parkour quite well. I don’t know if there are many leading man types right now who has the physical skills that Tom Holland has. If they allow him to perform some of his own stunts then this could be quite cool.

It's not a matter of him being able to do his own stunts that bothers me, it's that he doesn't fit the mold of the Nathan Drake I've come to know over the course of 4 games (hours upon hours of gameplay). Granted it might not matter to the masses as tons of people have no clue what Uncharted even is, but he just doesn't fit the mold of an action hero. Yes, I know he's freaking Spider-Man, a big damn hero, but I think you know what I mean. Perhaps he could pull off a teenage Drake, but as others have pointed out. young Drake sucks!  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLeon Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 It doesn't take a ton of imagination to picture a movie involving a young Drake that plays out similarly to the main stories in the games. He had to start going on those adventures at some point.  They probably aren't going to make a movie that's 2 hours of a kid climbing around a mansion or whatever happened in those sections. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm much less concerned about Tom Holland and more concerned whether this will be a good movie regardless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did watch them all though being a fan of Resident Evil.   They are nothing like the games (as I'm sure you know) but stupid fun in the vein of Mortal Kombat, another film from the same writer/director as the RE movies (Paul W.S. Anderson). Not worth anyone's time ultimately unless you need a drinking game movie or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to finish it someday?  Interestingly, the three canon CG animated Resident Evil movies are pretty good (especially the newest one) though they are also equally as stupid/dumb/bombastic as the live-action movies, but at least with the RE characters. I enjoyed them well enough when I saw them at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew there was another, but I didn't know there were three.  I just don't watch a ton of movies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
