Last Friday it was announced that Sony Pictures would be making a movie version of the hit Playstation 3 game Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune. David O. Russell (Three Kings, The Fighter) is directing, the big question is who will play title character Nathan Drake.
While there has been no news or rumors on potential leads, there is one name that is getting some support thanks to Twitter: Nathan Fillion. The star of ABC’s Castle (and avid tweeter) made the following tweet that has been retweeted over a hundred times.
If ever there was a Twitter campaign, let this be it. Rise, ye Browncoats. Rise, ye Castillions. RISE! http://j.mp/aEGe79
Since then Nathan and his avid fans have bombarded Twitter with #NathanforNathan and similar hashtags to get a trending topic going. What do you think, should Nathan play Nathan?
Joe Flanigan has also started an online campaign for the role of Nathan Drake and has asked us fans to support him, which we are more than happy to do.
I think he would be a perfect choice for the role. Not only is there the uncanny physical resemblance between Nathan Drake Joe Flanigan, but he is also very charismatic and athletic, just perfect for the “rugged action hero” with a quirky, witty sense of humor a la Harrison Ford in Indiana Jones.
Definitely Joe Flanigan for Nathan Drake
Joe Flanigan would be the perfect choice for this role. I also love Nathan Fillion, he is a really great actor, but I cannot imagine him as Nathan Drake. Sorry, Mr. Fillion!
There’s only one actor for this role: JOE FLANIGAN! He’s a great actor, and has not only charisma but also the required quirky wits and the look, not to forget the physical requirement as he’s a very active sportive guy. He’s just the perfect choice for this role. So I say: Joe Flanigan for Nathan Drake!!
I want Joe Flanigan ro play Nathan Drake
Joe Flanigan IS Nathan Drake!
Joe Flanigan is the only and perfect choice for this role.
Joe Flanigan is the perfect choice to play Nathan Drake. He has the look, the athleticism, charisma and machismo to bring the role to life.
Joe Flanigan is Nathan Drake, hands down!!!
Joe Flanigan should be cast as Nathan Drake, he not only looks like Nathan Drake but he is a great character actor. He would make a great action hero. His role in Stargate Atlantis says it all. I vote over and over again for Joe Flannigan as Nathan Drake!
Taylor Kitsch all the way.
Samuel Broidie actually is running against Nathan Fillion for the role of Nathan Drake. 76% of fans think he would play a better Nathan Drake
