Nolan North Has Hinted Heavily That Hugh Jackman Is In Line To Play Nathan Drake.

Nolan North has hinted heavily that Hugh Jackman is in the front-running to play the part of Nathan Drake in the upcoming Uncharted movie. In a telephone interview on the Official Playstation Magazine UK podcast, North explains that, “I would love to do the movie, obviously I’d love to do it as Nathan Drake [...] but I’ve done film and television and I understand the reality of the business.”

When prompted on who he’d like to see play the part of Nathan Drake, North explains Hugh Jackman is his choice, and seemingly the front-runner for the part.

“Jackman is who I’d like to see. I think the producers would like to see Jackman too, because he has that tough guy exterior, but [...] there’s also a lot going on behind his eyes. A lot of emotion and sensitivity on that brusque exterior, and he has great comic timing. He’s a phenomenal actor. I just hope I get a part on the movie so I can work with Hugh.”

Having looked at some non-Wolverine pictures of Hugh Jackman, we can certainly see the Drake resemblance. And hey, if Nolan gives him his blessing…

    Joe Flanigan, hes the man and yea he does embody the same personality as drake
  • diva
    HE'S TOO OLD FOR THIS ROLE. drake is only 29 or so!
  • No in the first game it says he was in his mid 30s!!!!
  • jordan

    two words: joe flanigan. not only does he look like nathan drake, but he embodies the personality as well. just saying...
  • gingyfromshrek
    MATT MULLINS should play drake. He looks like him, plus he also did motion capture martial arts for the game.

    is there a mp3 link for those who dont like itunes? :(
  • Yes to Nathan Fillion. No to Hugh Jackman.

    Seriously, even Yahoo agrees. There's a feature on the front page about celebrities that look like video game characters, and even they picked Fillion as Drake.

    Nathan Fillion - that's the guy from "Serenity", right?

    He'd be a good pick, for sure but so would Jackman. Whether Jackman, Fillion or North himself takes the role, i'm happy. It's a win - win situation!
  • BalramRules
    Whether anyone likes it or not, he's playing the role, but just concentrate on both of the images for a few minutes and check the similarities, you'll soon notice that they are just like twins!
  • BalramRules
    OMG! If you notice, they look just the SAME!
    Look at their hair, mustache, beard, even their freakin grins!!! JUST LOOK AT EM! RIGHT CHOICE!! RIGHT CHOICE! Look at their eyebrows and eyes!
    He's DEFINITELY THE RIGHT CHOICE FOR THE MOVIE!!
    DEFO!

    I second the recommendation for Nate Fillion. He'd be the only actor I'd like to see take the role if North can't play it.
  • David Macphail
    I think Hugh Jackman would be perfect for this role. If you think about it - Nathan Drake and Wolverine have a lot in common. They both have the same cocky, sometimes even arrogant attitude towards trouble and while they both like to get into a good scrap from time to time they also have an emotional side to them. They also have a certain charm about them......despite the fact they're usually up to no good.

    Nathan Drake is essentially Wolverine without the claws, this is perfect.
  • jereth
    i can deal with that in film but theres only one drake for gaming and thats north
  • Ella
    Geez, no. Hugh is too good actor to do another movie like this. Movies based on plays are rearely good and I think he is already a little too old for it.
  • sugreev2001
    Either Nathan Filion or Nolan North himself as Drake.I'm a fan of Hugh Jackman,but he is absolutely wrong for the role.
  • jaydiggle
    NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
  • Aww, crap. So it'll neither look nor sound like Drake, then.

    They really should use the actors who did the game. At least the voices and mannerisms would be authentic and true to the game.

    Typical that Hollyweird wants to cash in with 'big' names, though.
