filmlover Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 March 2021 does seem dead at the moment and this sounds like the kind of project that would work better in that month than around the holidays so this is a good move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JGAR4LIFE Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 I was accepting Tom as Nathan Drake but Mark Walhberg as Sully is a big no no, massive miscast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So now thie film and the Tomb Raider sequel will duke it out for the title of #1 Indy Jones wannabe. Just not interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valonqar Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 (edited) Holland has absolutely no career outside of MCU and thus is easily jumped over by Chalamet, etc, because he has a terrible taste in picking non-MCU projects. he's too focused on chasing the next franchise (Chaos Walking, Uncharted) instead of building his resume with different kind of work, to have something to fall back on after MCU. Zendaya does it right. She's very likely going to get Emmy nom for Euphoria. Edited January 28, 2020 by Valonqar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valonqar Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 (edited) I honestly wouldn't expect Globes to care for Euphoria. Not their type of show. Either way, awards or not (Critics Choice nominated her BTW), she's got raves and proved she a major talent.

Valonqar Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 either way, it's a win for Zendaya for she has a critically acclaimed challening role to her resume. Now she added Villeneuve to it. She's making much smarter career choices than Holland. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murphydog Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 (edited) This project is probably the worst handled potential franchise I have ever seen, and has been for some time. Uncharted *could* be the rare video game movie to break out. Why? Set pieces aside, the characters are far more charismatic than any other video game franchise, and the chemistry between Drake/Elena, Sully/Elena, and Sully/Drake especially is prime for big screens. Sony has no idea, however, what to do with this film and never has. The leaked Sony e-mails show this. They don't understand that without a perfectly cast Drake/Sully, this won't work. While negotiating with Wahlberg to play Drake back in the day, an exec even typed "Drake can be whatever age we want him to be" when another exec raised the point that Wahlberg was not a good fit for Drake. But he can't. Drake is an American James Bond, an alpha male but good natured and with a killer sense of humor. And he's decidedly early 30s. Sully needs to be 65 +/-. After Wahlberg, Pratt, and Hemsworth all passed, they actually at one point appeared to be taking an MCU approach of "let's cast the right guy" by reading lesser known stars that might be a better fit. I know for a fact that Oscar Isaac, Travis Fimmel, Jamie Dornan, and Aaron Taylor Johnson were all read. Some of those guys would also be...awkward...in the role, but no doubt all four are more obtainable (keeping budget down) and a better fit for the role than Wahlberg was. And then we pivot, not older like Wahlberg, but young like Tom Holland. I like Tom Holland. He's a natural on screen. But he is everything Drake isn't...youthful, cuddly, unsure of himself in an endearing way. Not to even mention the age issue. So you essentially put the film in an impossible place to succeed as not only fans will be turned off, but the GA won't be able to fall in love with the core character as he is fundamentally different. Wahlberg as Sully, similarly, is a disaster. If Drake's appeal lies in being a warm hearted but rough around the edges man in the peak of his manhood, Sully's appeal is as the older counterpart, a "dirty but suave grandpa" trope. Once again, when you change his age, you destroy his appeal, and you end up with a bland "been there done that" character when you could have had an iconic one. Elena also obviously very important, but no news on that yet. Amy Pascal wanted Emma Stone back in the day, which would be a slam dunk but that was 2014 Emma coming off of being perpetual support for Gosling, not 2020 Cruella/La La Land Emma and so she's not obtainable for a supporting role anymore (nor could she play against Holland anyway). But that was the one character they seemed to understand with regards to casting. Not to mention, finally, that I've read the script that was pitched to Wahl/Pratt/Hems and it was dumpster fire level. The opening scene was excellent, but from there it fizzled into a neutered Uncharted that was more akin to a National Treasure rip-off than an action film (they were literally breaking into Westminster Abbey and the Tower of London for pete's sake), and there was *zero* chemistry between Drake and Sully, with Wahlberg even going so far as to demand that Sully be written into a minor character so that it was more of a star vehicle for Drake, without understanding that Drake's character is extremely dependent on the repartee between himself and Elena/Chloe/Sully. Without a straight man to play against, Drake is just a run of the mill action character and there's no reason to see him compared to any other action film. Sure they'll rewrite the script for a younger Drake, but once again it showed that they had no idea how to make an Uncharted movie in the first place, and I doubt that changes. The problem is that, once again, fans will be so turned off, but more importantly they are starting from scratch, essentially trying to write a new version of Drake/Elena/Sully for GA audiences to fall in love with, instead of just relying on the extremely lovable characters that should in theory be an easy pitch for non-fans. What's agonizing watching all of this is that if handled correctly, and with an MCU strategy of leaning into the characters and understanding why they work in the source material, this could be a breakout film. Not $1B obviously, but something that could grow overtime and be a loved franchise with relatable characters. But Sony continually fumbles on the ball on this and shows that they don't even have an inkling of why the source material became popular in the first place.
