UNCHARTED Live-Action Fan Film Puts Nathan Fillion In The Shoes Of Nathan Drake
After sharing a few cryptic tweets about an Uncharted-related announcement last week, Nathan Fillion has revealed his top-secret project, which is an Uncharted fan film starring him as Nathan Drake!
Ever since Sony revealed their plans for a live-action Uncharted movie, fans worldwide have been clamoring to see Nathan Fillion (Firefly; Castle; The Death of Superman) take on the role of adventurer extraordinaire Nathan Drake - a dream-casting that Fillion was very much onboard with. However, those hopes and dreams were subsequently crushed when the studio opted to go in a vastly different direction with their movie and cast up-and-comer Tom Holland (Spider-Man: Far From Home) as a younger version of the hero fans have come to know and love over the course of five video games.
With that film perpetually stuck in development hell, Fillion and a few of his friends decided to take matters into their own hands and produced a 15-minute live-action fan film, directed by Allan Ungar, that finally puts Fillion in the shoes of good ol' Nate as he tracks down the lost treasure of Flor de la Mar.
The cast is rounded out by Mircea Monroe (Episodes) as Elena Fisher, Stephen Lang (Avatar) as Victor "Sully" Sullivan, and Geno Segers (Banshee) as the villain.
In a statement to IGN, Fillion said, “Here’s this incredible property, it’s out there, and no one has done anything with it yet. Brilliant characters, gripping stories, tailormade for me -- add in Allan’s passion for Uncharted, and talent -- why wouldn’t we?" Additionally, both Fillion and Ungar will appear on IGN's San Diego Comic-Con live stream on Thursday evening to discuss the fan film, so be sure not to miss it!
