Happy to hear about this. I'm ecstatic that they're making an Uncharted movie at last and Uwe Boll is not directing it! My only concern is the casting-same as everyone else. My vote is for Karl Urban though it's never gonna happen.
shareyeasame here that cast of Mark Wahlberg as Nathan made me angry, if they are going by the exact look from game to screen then Karl Urban while a good actor I wouldn't pick.
I would pick either Gerard Butler, Bradley Cooper, Nathan Fillion well maybe 7 years ago,
I can't wait for this game,I'm getting a PS4 in a month or so due to it now at a reasonable price I can afford do you have a PS4?
IMO Bradley Cooper and Gerald Butler are too old. Cooper is the better off the two (Gerald has zero charisma and is quickly approaching 50.)

Are my two picks. They both have the look, young enough for a franchise and are good actors who can pull off the cocky/badass while still being charming, which Nate does so well. They also have a fan base of their own, from the Netflix crowd which could help the film.
I also think, Rupert Friend and Jake Gyllenhaal would do a good job. Jake would have that star power the studio would most likely want, though I'd prefer a lesser known actor in the part, which would allow a lower budget and less studio interference.
I think early/mid 30s is best. That way you could get a solid trilogy out of them. If you start with a 40+ Drake out of the bat, then that's going to limit things, as that would put Sully at almost 70.
Drake was mid to late 20s in Drake's Fortune. As Sony were looking at Pratt, I'm pretty sure they're looking for someone in mid 30s.
If they're wanting to go younger Robbie Amell could definitely pull it off.
Eddie McClintock, looks like drake and sounds like drake and has good comdic timing.
And, this may sound cliche, but Chris Pratt.
One thing saying Gerald has zero charisma but saying is quickly approaching 50 is just absurd.....That is like saying a 6 year old is approaching 10 which is obviously not true
While Brett Dalton is a good actor and would be good as Nate, He doesn't have the right hair and eye colour but he could use contacts I suppose
As for DJ Cotrona again he has wrong hair and eye colour along with the chin
Rupert Friend has a weird looking face so that wouldn't make sense
As for Jake he looks nothing like Nate- It is a shame Nathan Fillion could of done it back in 2007 when he was in his 30's
Now Robbie Amell I agree with- He would just have to dye his hair brown, Yea I think going for a Drake in his early/mid 30's makes sense
He'll be 47 in November of this year. And he wears his age on his face. Nothing wrong with that, but he definitely looks every bit of his age. As do the more popular picks, Nolan North and Nathan Fillion - both 45 btw.
Nathan Drake is hovering around 31 in Drake's Fortune. Sully's in his mid-fifties and people keep pushing for actors in their sixties (Liam Neeson) or seventies (Harrison Ford and Tom Selleck).
I'll never get that.
You know who'd be a good fit for a character from Uncharted? Emily Rose. Close to Elena's age. Looks something like Elena. Certainly sounds like Elena. Plays Elena in motion capture.
She certainly talks the talk and walks the walk. So do you think anybody's lining up to draft Emily to play Elena?
Nope they're too busy pushing for a fifty-year old Nate and a seventy-year old Sully.
