Uncharted Movie: Hollywood ruins another game

They began filming.

i hope they're only filming wide shots with few actors and a small crew and no one dies of covid making this film no one wants

Weird.

 

[Wol]

Wait, is he going to play adult Nate too?

 

[Prism]

Definitely still a weird casting decision, but I think he suits a teenage Nathan pretty well. Maybe he plays like an in-between young and adult version of him?

That's what I think. Great for young Nate segments, but as the main actor I dunno...

An upside I can think about for Tom is that he’s great at doing stunts, something that would be a huge focus of an Uncharted film.

Still not convinced of Holland as Nathan Drake tbh

 

[Wol]

Neither I. At best it looks like a decent flick... we'll see.

 

[Lestat]

I'm more against the plot and wahlberg tbh, neither looks good and I'm pissed they didn't stick to the source material.

 

[Deleted member 13557]

Honestly don’t mind Holland as a young Nate.

 

[The Twilight Mexican]

It looks like it will be decently fun.

It seems video-game adaptations are moving from terrible to decent, in general.

 

[Prism]

Maybe it's because modern games are becoming more like movies anyway, lol...

The movie seems entertaining at least; that second trailer has some set-pieces that got my blood rushing. Blockbusters are starting to feel like theme park ride experiences, which probably isn't great in the long run, but a part of me can at least have fun with the experience.

Some video games (Uncharted, MGS, etc) are written more like movies, that's one. You'd think it would make movie adaptations easy, but alas.

On the other hand, movies are being made "safely", that is, mainstream and international appeal - and if they can make it so it passes Chinese censors, that's even better because big audience and a lot of revenue to be made.

Movie poster.

Movie is out in theaters now.

 

[Lulcielid]

The movie has performed...above expectations?!

Estimated domestic at $44.2M and international total stands at $88.0M, estimated global total through Sunday stands at $132.2M.

I'm not really thrilled that the movie pulls scenes/plot points from all the games, but I am still going to go see this. If we get at least a trilogy, this would be the modern day Indiana Jones, for me.
