Mark Wahlberg and the Uncharted Nathan Drake

Are you sitting next to your loaded shotgun? Well, your about to use it. Sad news today, in a effort to mesh-out films adaptations from video games, the Uncharted series is making into the big screen. Yeah, Uncharted... if playing this cinematic game was not satisfying to you because were not enjoy it with popcorn, well your luck... sorta. It seems that Mark Wahlberg announced, that he will be playing the role of Nathan Drake. Who is Nathan Drake you say? Meh, he's like the male version of Laura Croft, whatever.

But here's the sad news, remember that 2008 film Max Payne (how could we forget) and how awful it was? Well, this is the path Uncharted my also suffer from. Most video games to movies spiels sound good on paper, but never actually impact good quality or it's legit-ness to the game. There have been dozens of series that have made it to the big screen, and NEVER deliver the essence of experiencing/corralling to the game. I don't want to sound jaded, or alarmed of the fact that Uncharted is becoming a movie, is just that I don't trust the transitions, because most films that are based on video games are epic fails and are very disappointing to us gamers. I had high hopes for Prince of Percia, and many other, but I end up face-palming throughout the film.

Well, don't use shotgun just yet, maybe this movie will be a work of masterpiece us gamers want from an adaption. It might be epic in all it's rock climbing grandeur, and it might even come out in 3D (Gawd, I hope not). Who knows? But if Nathan Drake appears in a scene wearing nothing but Calving Klein whittie tightis, than count me in.
