Tom Holland Can't Stop Gushing About the Uncharted Movie

Well yeah, of course an actor on the film isn't going to talk crap about it at the risk of infuriating studio execs who obviously keep tabs on him and everything he says when doing press.

I still can't really see Holland pulling it off as Nathan Drake specifically but that trailer for The Devil All the Time does definitely show he has the acting chops for more grounded roles that don't involve doing whatever a spider can. I'll reserve final judgement until I see actual footage.

Wait, they're letting him read the script?

@TheFrenchiestFry he is young Nate in this film (perfect fit). It's the block of wood, Mark Wahlberg i'm worried about. Sully has charm and whit, something i've never seen wahlberg pull off.

@Loftimus I guess the thing is Holland doesn't look like the type to pull off a character like Nathan, even at a young age because of how tweenish and super upbeat he is. The Rock had a similar problem for roles like him being the twist villain in the DOOM movie because when watching those I couldn't unsee "oh that's the guy from Tooth Fairy and Journey 2: The Mysterious Island". I get what they're going for but I'm just afraid I'm going to walk out of the film thinking it was Peter Parker cosplaying as Nathan Drake rather than Nathan Drake in his genesis to becoming the character we know.

I just want Wahlberg to say "take an interest in archaeology" at least once

I'm not a fan of the young Nathan idea. I really wanted actual Nathan, Mr Fillion, to play the role.

But Holland is a great actor, so...

@Octane Yeah, that's a bad idea lol. Tom has loose lips.

Actor with contractual obligation likes movie. What a scoop.

Stoked to see this. I hope we get something in the vein of Indiana Jones movies. God knows we need more Indy-like movies, filmed well, filled with humour and crazy adventures.

Hi, I'm Tom Holland and I don't like working in this movie that I'm a part of right now...

Psych!!

PushSquare: Dayum, that needs an article of it's own!!

Tbh I forgot this movie existed, so it's nice to see an article to remind me of it!

Article going with an age appropriate picture of Nate rather than something like this caught me by surprise. But in a good way.

I'm looking forward to it. But I'm 1 of those odd people who's capable of realizing that a book isn't a movie isn't a game isn't a tv show, they don't need to be the same to be good. re: people who still haven't' seen Lord of The Rings b/c no Tom Bombadil.

I'm not expecting it to be as good as Uncharted 2 or 4, but it better be way better than Uncharted 1. Equal to 3 would be nice.

I'm looking forward to it, hopefully they've crafted a solid script.

I wonder if it will be an origin story with or without Sam? The first three games (and Golden Abyss) have no mention of a brother and his appearance in Uncharted 4 (to me) doesn't seem properly connected to the other games. Sam being a friend (or just a fellow orphan) instead of a brother, I believe, may have worked better from my point of view.

With the way Sully talks about the past, I feel he would have mentioned Sam and I guess that's where I feel a bit disconnected with his connection to the games and his relationship as Nathan's brother.

So it will be interesting if we see a Sam character, hear about a Sam character or if he is ignored.

I find Tom Holland really annoying for some reason.

@1_W1NG3D_4NG3L That's the thing, it can be both a travesty and a good movie. It can be a travesty for book fans yet still be a good movie. I think both the book(s) and movie(s) are great, my wife hates the books but love the movies, and I know people who won't see the movie b/c Bombadil isn't in it. I think we own the books in paperback and hardcover and the movies in DVD regular and long versions and blu-ray long version. Maybe both. It's like an entire shelf.

That's just 1 example though. There are probably people who won't see this movie b/c Nathan Fillian isn't starring in it, and he has nothing to do w/ the games. Some people are just idiots. 🤣

Tom Holland is basically the world's biggest shill, always stepping in to praise any project he's involved in

“One of the best he’s ever read” hahahahaha hahahahaha come on man....

@Loftimus wahlberg’s greatest performance is The Departed. Very funny. In my opinion if he’s cast well his acting is fine.

Ok, but wasn't Wahlberg terrible in Max Payne?

I love Uncharted series and I hope the movie to be at least at the same level.

Nathan Fillion could play an older Nathan Drake in a Tv Series or something. Could be fun.

As for Tom Holland. I just don't think he'd be convincing. We'll see.

People like Tom Holland because hes Spider Man........... BUT if he does a bad job playing Nathan Drake............ Run and hide, Run and hide because all the Uncharted gamers are coming for you

@KidBoruto But I feel Uncharted 4 kind of says: by the way Nathan, you have an older brother. You've had a few adventures together and you changed your last name when you were young to avoid being falsely charged with potentially a murder or breaking and entering, which lead to death. You were left with Sullivan after the pickpocketing and the museum incident and Sam just visits on occasion, but not enough to be remembered for general conversation. And somehow Sam is still alive after what happened in the prison, not the disappearance, but the grudge of what may happen to inmates for the reason he is there (keeping it vague, for spoilers).

I enjoyed playing Uncharted 4, but that brotherly connection for me, just seems a little off. The movie could show more of a connection and change how I feel about it.

This is an interesting article on Amy Hennig's Uncharted 4, halfway down the page: https://www.usgamer.net/articles/amy-hennig-interview-uncharted-4-leaving-ea-ragtag-star-wars

@KidBoruto "Origin story, it has been stated multiple times that this will be a prequel to the games, with Tom Holland playing as a much younger Nathan Drake."

Ah yes, I know, I just meant his relationship with his brother when he was young and how his connection will be presented and possibly the reason why we haven't heard of him before Uncharted 4.

I realised after the first reply that I hadn't addressed your first concern with my post.

I'll stick with the games thanks lol

@KidBoruto In Amy Hennig's version it seems that Sam was more estranged to Nate, so something happened in their relationship to be ignored and possibly Sully didn't know Sam in her version. She said it was about reconciliation between the two.

I do agree that Sam's inclusion is good for the story, but a change of some occurrences would help it along in regards to his appearance. Maybe instead of just breaking and entering, Nathan wanted to knock on the door during the day and ask about the item and Sam convinced him it was a bad idea and all that happened in the current game leading to her death happened and Nathan was furious, because they could have avoided it and she had more to tell him and boom, they are estranged and any other encounters are met with the same outcome. Then the story could still be very similar and it would explain why we hadn't heard of Sam.

But I am still pretty happy with the game, so I wouldn't want to change it too much. I just think either occurrences or relationship with Sam could have been tweaked to make more sense of his sudden appearance. Without him it would be a different game, so that would be sad.

Well he's not gona say its ***** is he
