It looks like Uncharted: Drake's Fortune will be the next big game to get adapted into a movie, joining Prince of Persia, Kane & Lynch, Halo, BioShock, Clock Tower, Gears of War, and a slew of Uwe Boll films that should just be forgotten. Despite the fact that the current number of good video game-turned-movies is somewhere near zero, I'm going to stay hopeful about this one.   Hope is important, it keeps the world turning.  So let's keep the hope alive.  And most importantly, let's hope Uwe Boll keeps his dirty, untalented hands far away from this movie.  I've decided to compile a list of possible actors and actresses that I think would be excellent to play as the main cast (Nathan, Elena, and Victor).  See who I've picked after the jump.

Elena Fisher:

This one was easy since the perfect actress to play as Elena is the woman who voiced her in the game: Emily Rose.  She already has the voice and likeness of the character, plus she's an excellent actress, so I think she's the perfect fit.

Victor "Sully" Sullivan:

Ah, Victor.  The funny longtime friend who kinda sorta stabs you in the back (belated spoiler).  I have the perfect actor to play him and his name is Bruce Campbell.  He's the perfect fit, and if you've seen him in... really anything he's been in (particularly the new TV series Burn Notice) you should see the resemblance.

Nathan Drake:

The guy who plays Nathan should share the quirky, sarcastic personality of everybody's favorite witty treasure hunter.  I think I've found the perfect actor for the part: Nathon Fillion.  If you've seen Serenity or Firefly (the short-lived TV series Serenity is based on) then you probably agree with me.  I'll admit this was a close call so I'll give an honorable mention to my next choice, Ryan Reynolds, who has already appeared as Deadpool in another game-related movie X-Men Origins: Worlverine.

So, do you agree with any of these possibilities?  If not, do you have someone in particular that you think would be a better fit?  Or could you not care less because you've already placed this inside the "Another Crappy Video Game Movie" folder alongisde the myriad of other video game films?  Let me know.

While the two choices for Nathan Drake listed could work i still think the best choice is going with Nolan North. He already voices the character and looks like him as well.

FILLION!! I'm with everyone who has been saying that he should play Nathan since the first game was released. I would love to see Bruce in the film as well but I could never see it happening.

I'm in half agreement with Jeff. The only person who should EVER play that role is Nolan North... but he's getting a little old for the role. Maybe he was just having a rough day, but recent UC2 behind-the-scenes videos make him look a solid 40. Definitely too old for Drake.

Also, Ryan Reynolds would be a GREAT choice for universal balance. How so?

Reynolds played Deadpool in the film. Nolan voiced Deadpool in the game adaptation and Hulk Vs Wolverine.
Nolan voice Nathan Drake, so it Reynolds taking up the role? CHECKMATE!

It's the Bill Murray/Lorenzo Music conundrum.
