The recent announcement of Mark Wahlberg being cast as Nathan Drake in the upcoming Uncharted movie, not to mention the extreme liberties they seem to be taking with the games' stories, were not only disappointing, but it also got me thinking, “Do we even need an Uncharted movie?” Granted, I would loved to had seen Nathan Fillion as Drake instead of Wahlberg, but even then, could anyone but Fillion do any justice to the franchise? Even if the writers of the movie followed the story of Uncharted 1 or 2 line for line, is that something gamers would want to see? The story in both titles worked so well within the game, I don’t see a point in creating a movie based on those games.
