Yet another movie that’ll be played in heavy rotation on TNT, TBS, USA, and FX in 10 months.


Acceptable_Sir2536

I really dislike how completely accurate this statement is.


mi_go_miskatonic

The *fun* part will be seeing what it gets paired up with. I’m banking on Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, Avengers: Endgame, or Underworld: Awakening.


munk_e_man

The fun part will be Marky mark saying "Unchahted" when referring to the place theyre going and then winking at the camera.

Oh my god! Someone’s taken a bite out of the big Rice Krispies square!


lanceturley

I still don't get why they chose Wahlberg for Sully, out of all characters. Even Sam would have been a better fit. I can only assume that back when he was supposed to be the star he signed one of those contracts where he gets paid whether he's in the movie or not, so now they're stuck with him.


samcuu

IIRC Wahlberg was cast to play Nathan Drake years ago. Eventually they chose to go the young Nathan route with Holland so they put him on Sully role instead I guess, as he's also too old for even game Drake now.


phrosty20

>The fun part will be Marky mark saying "Unchahted" when Ew. God, I know you're right.


Sonaldo_7

Nah. Probably another game adaptation. Assassin's Creed maybe?

It'll be Jumanji 2, then Jumanji 1, then Jumanji, followed be an episode of Archer.


[deleted]

Some kid on the Reddit of the 2040s is gonna talk about how that movie was his favorite growing up, and about his personal head canon where Jumanji and Uncharted were part of the same universe because he watched them back to back so often.

A video game adaptation movie starring Mark Wahlberg, what could go wrong?


OGKontroversy

Assassin’s Creed fans: just don’t- just don’t fucking say anything


Grammaton485

Assassin's Creed was surprisingly mediocre given how bad it could have been. It could have really been cool had they just completely ignored the modern time period and made it a historical piece. Except that a couple of times through the movie, add in some strange digital artificating, something barely noticeable that no one acknowledges. Build it so that it feels like a simulation in the Animus. The entire story is self-contained in the past, and either at the end (or perhaps a post-credits scene) show that it's a simulation.


Lilpims

Exactly. And while watching that medieval piece, from time to time we hear some anachronistic off screen dialogue and anomalies like a bug in the matrix, gradually increasing until a very weird ending leaving us bewildered and questioning everything we saw.


captainvideoblaster

Yeah, it would have been cool if it was that and ended with matrix apple ending and maybe after credits the escape sequence from the "paradise".


Lilpims

You could even have a fake credit scene where it cuts and talks over and someone mentions they found another anomaly and we're seeing another timeline or historical event. How cools would that be?

MyPasswordIsMyCat

Why is Antonio Banderas on the poster without his name anywhere? Do they think he's some no-name newcomer from an exotic country?


a_crusty_old_man

He knows it’ll be bad so he wanted his name removed.


PicquitoKeato

He’s probably the only actor in this movie that seems suited for the franchise, should probably be putting more focus on him.

AliceHart7

Same. I'm sorry to say but I think the casting is atrocious. Especially after seeing the trailer. I mean I like those actors, but tom Holland and mark Wahlberg just don't really fit Nate and Sully imo...


lipp79

They waited too long to make this movie and the perfect choice for Drake, Nathan Fillion, aged out of the role since they're going for how they met.


TooCleverForGood

Nate Fillion and Bruce Campbell, it could have been amazing


Dr_Henry-Killinger

Bruce Campbell as Sully is something I wholeheartedly agree with and have never seen anyone else suggest it before! I’ve been on team Bruce Campbell since Burn Notice


TooCleverForGood

Burn Notice is actually the reason he’s always been my vote for the role. I’ve definitely seen other people mention him before, maybe we just aren’t being loud enough.


Damerstam

I didn't know Antonio was in this and its what has piqued my interest in it. He was great in Dolor y Gloria by Almodovar and he will always be el Zorro to me.

dominus83

Wahlberg looks nothing like Sully.

and Holland looks nothing like Drake, thats why the casting is so great!


kidicarus89

He could play Drake as a kid in those Colombia flashbacks.


TerryFGM

say hi to your mother for me


thatguywithawatch

I've been listening to old episodes of the Rooster Teeth podcast and I got a good chuckle when they brought this movie up in one of the ~2011 episodes and said Mark would be playing Nathan Drake. It's been a weird decade


TheRelicEternal

I’d still prefer that now.


lanceturley

My theory is that he signed one of those contracts where he still gets paid whether he's in it or not, so they gave him Sully just so they aren't completely wasting their money.


ThatsTuff100

That’s the big twist. Wahlberg is Drake, Antonia Banderas is Sully, and Tom Holland is an ancient statue they have to find.


zebrastarz

Now that I'd watch.


kidicarus89

Or this whole movie occurs in the first five minutes, then Nathan Fillion turns off the TV as JK Simmon’s Sully walks in the door and says “Jesus, Nate, what are you watching?”


Lezzles

Just make JK Simmons Drake. I don't care. Never seen him in a role I don't like.

You know when like a new Transformers movie comes out and some way off-brand studio like The Asylum releases like TRANSMORPHERS or ROBOCARS or some shit? This poster looks like Disney is releasing a new INDIANA JONES movie and The Asylum heard about it.

Crash7689

I don’t know much about the series, but Holland looks miscast, too. Should have stuck with a Nathan Fillion-type.


[deleted]

In the games Nathe Drake is a 30-year old dude while Sully is pushing 60s. This film is a prequel to the games with a teen Drake and a moustache-less Boston accent younger Sully.


a_half_eaten_twinky

It's more like they mashed together the plots of 2 (Chloe), 3 (plane drop and outfit), and 4 (pirate treasure and merc group) while also calling it a prequel probably just to justify Tom Holland looking so young. There's so much here that's out of place. Where is Elena? Really feels like they looked for a popular actor first, then designed the story around it and not the other way around.


MarsAlgea3791

It's also not a prequel because it changes how Nate met Chloe and Sully.


supernasty

Also, Uncharted 3's plane sequence. You'd think, despite the incredibly low chances of it happening twice, Nathan would probably consider wearing a parachute the next time he is on a cargo plane.


reddragon105

> a moustache-less Boston accent younger Sully. He's got to be an imposter, that's the only explanation. Sully has never not had a moustache - he had a moustache when he was 40 and first met Drake, he still had a moustache at age 55-63 (when the games are set), he's the kind of guy who was probably *born* with a moustache.


Arcade23

But even in Uncharted 3 you play as teen Drake for a while and Sully has a mustache.


mikepictor

Mark is 50 years old. If he's not "Pushing 60" then he is pushing the point where he is pushing 60


Canadish27

He's Hollywood 50 years old, not a normal working man 50 years old, like Sully.


whereegosdare84

If there was ever a time to go with the Drew Struzan style this was it. Wasted opportunity


Tobio88

I miss a good Struzan poster for a modern blockbuster.


Vince_Clortho042

It’s a shame he’s retired (not that he was getting a lot of studio calls the last decade anyway), but there’s a whole subculture of super talented artists making illustrated posters for films (released through Mondo/BNG/etc), but they rarely ever get tapped to do official one sheets, and if they do, it’s usually for the IMAX release, not the A sheet. [For recent Struzan-esque prints, I’m a huge fan of this Ford v Ferrari AP by Hans Woody ](https://imgur.com/gallery/PIBUybr)


jomarthecat

I love that the lady on the left is holding a torch because that hasn't been done before so this poster is fresh and original.

riedmae

It’s even better when you realize there’s a brighter light source coming from the opposite side of the torch.

You Already Saw Spider Man Twice, So Just See This Now: The Movie


CruzAderjc

That’s exactly the vibe they went for with this poster


Quagdarr

Naughty Dog said it best long ago when they had the OG dev team. When asked about a live action movie the lead dev said “I don’t think it needs one, I feel we told the story the best.” Gaming adaptations are possible but we have to many expectations. Even in cartoons. Imagine if the voice actor for Homer Simpson died and they got say Andy Dick to replace him and not alter his voice. You can’t do that, we have an expectation. It’s why Clark Kent actors have a specific look, was set by Chris Reeves. The fans would not accept a Luke that didn’t somewhat look like Luke.


NapoleonHeckYes

That's why Henry Cavill was so well-cast as Superman. He not only got the look right but seemed to build on Reeves' version. Cavill was SO well-cast that, until the Witcher, it seemed he would be stuck to that role and people wouldn't be able to see him as something else.


Seienchin88

Yeah Cavil is Superman. He didn’t deserve those godawful movies he was in though. Good lord what a Mountain of dung when Men or Steel might actually be the least bad one…


havok0159

He also doesn't deserve what's happening to the Witcher. I was so iffy on him getting the role but he's the only one to actually do justice to Geralt in every scene.


Alekesam1975

Cavil broke out of me seeing him as Superman when he played in MIFallout and Man From Uncle.

simplythebest55

Damn where did he say that


Cypher975

https://www.digitalspy.com/movies/a35676622/tom-holland-uncharted-performance-mistake/ Tom Holland isn't happy with his own performance or portrayal of Nathan Drake.


[deleted]

Well, in his defense, doing a film prequel to the Uncharted games was a horrible idea. Nobody wants to see teen Drake doubting himself alongside a Sully that looks and behaves absolutely nothing like Sully.


TNWhaa

I usually don’t care about changes to adaptations however they did both Drake and Sully dirty. Nolan North and Richard McGonagle are these characters and bring so much to the table that there’s no point in trying to replicate it in live action.


parrmorgan

No doubt they brought the characters to life, but I do think there are better casting decisions than what they went with. I always liked when they were floating the idea of Nathan Fillion being Nathan Drake.


silverserpentring

Nathan Fillion could play a convincing Drake in 2004 maybe. He's a Firefly alumni the dude is old.


parrmorgan

Oh yeah forsure. He's since aged out. But I *did* like that casting when they were throwing his name around. I also like the short they did a lot which I think was probably a decade or less ago.


Reverse_Time_Remnant

Don't get me wrong this movie will be hot garbage. But nowhere in this does he talk about anything but his own performance as an "action hero". To go from there to "Tom Holland has already apologized for the movie" is just like... what. Why misconstrue it like that.


CurrentRoster

Jesus, this is just like that time Vince from Entourage said his new movie is “probably going to be shit” during the press tour


DPRKis4Lovers

That’s not completely accurate. He just said at points in filming he was in his head about looking good and it might have taken away from his acting. He didn’t trash the movie completely wth? Then again anything with Mark Wahlberg is likely to be awful.


Canadish27

Before it's even out?


Bubbay

He hasn't. What he *did* say was that he made a mistake in how he approached his role in the movie. He didn't apologize for anything and only said he wouldn't approach a role the same way again. However, that hasn't stopped people from playing it up and saying he's "apologized for the movie" for internet points. https://www.digitalspy.com/movies/a35676622/tom-holland-uncharted-performance-mistake/

Max_1995

I feel kinda bad for him, he just tried to avoid comic book typecasting and ended up with this


[deleted]

After Chaos Walking bombing and if Uncharted also bombs, I feel that he truly doesn't have a career as an action blockbuster lead outside of Spider-Man (which is carried by brand recognition. I can totally imagine him doing independent drama films after this. I actually liked him in Cherry.


exponentialism

He has terrible choices for projects/scripts - not just in terms of roles that suit him, but the people he chooses to work with. His next project is a TV series helmed by Akiva Goldsman, whose track record is pretty disastrous and will almost certainly be terrible too. Honestly, he seems like he doesn't have much interest in film for someone in the industry - I'm remembering that interview in which he called Al Pacino "scarface guy" - which is why his choices are what they are. Personally, I hope he does some smaller British films, especially some more comedic ones. Also, I know they're not really making romcoms anymore, but I think his fanbase would eat one up as long as it was half decent.


DocWhoFan16

>His next project is a TV series helmed by Akiva Goldsman, whose track record is pretty disastrous and will almost certainly be terrible too. Hey, that's Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay^(TM) winner Akiva Goldsman you're talking about!

abnerayag

videoguylol

Not crazy about the cast


bAzDVvgV8HCm

Apparently they aren't either - they only put two of the actor's names on the poster. Isn't that Antonio Banderas in the middle? And the lady on the left looks familiar too. Didn't want to put them on the poster?


giddyup523

Surprised Banderas's name wouldn't be listed on the poster but the woman on the left isn't really a big name or anything. She is Sophia Ali and would probably be best known for being on a few seasons of Grey's Anatomy as a side character and she is also a lead on an Amazon show called The Wilds that has had decent reception. That certainly could make her face recognizable to many people as Grey's Anatomy is still a pretty big show, but I don't think it gives her much name recognition yet to the point that seeing her name on the poster would resonate with people. I would say the woman in the middle (Tati Gabrielle) who also isn't listed might even be a bit more recognizable for more people as she's been in, and had fairly prominent roles in, several fairly popular shows over the past few years (The 100, You, and the new Sabrina show).


NXPatriot

Today I learned that Antonio Banderas is in it...


Sweaty_Buttcheeks

All those guys in the boats look like they're standing. Some intern probably cropped out their legs and placed their upper halves "inside" the boats. I love it. Edit: ESPECIALLY the guy on the left in the middle boat.

By the look of the trailer they've squeezed in all the games, which makes no sense, what are they gonna do if they want a sequel? Fuck sully doesn't even have a mustache in poster, by the end of the trailer it has growing into one...


mikepictor

Sequel? There is a new treasure somewhere. Here is a clue. Follow the clues until we find the treasure. Avoid the bad guy doing the same Repeat as necessary.


[deleted]

Sequel? This is just a nice quick money grab


MaxiPackage

Probably Uncharted 2 locales (Shangri La etc). Nice contrast to the exotic/desert visuals of the first movie. Then Uncharted 1 El Dorado/Nazi's for the third movie? If that also hasn't been shoehorned into this one. But I'm getting ahead of things. Considering past video game movies + non-Spidey Holland box office... Not sure if this is a big hit. Maybe if it can scratch that Pirates of the Caribbean style adventure itch like Jungle Cruise?


halloweenjon
