Is seems that marky ma...Mark Wahlberg, contrary to word from the games producer is still a sure thing for the role of Nathan Drake in
Uncharted. In an interview with
Movie Hole Wahlberg reiterates that he is still in the movie along with Joe Pesci and Robert De Niro.
Firstly, Wahlberg is indeed – despite the incessant requests to see Nathan Fillion cast instead – set to play Nathan Drake in the feature film version of Playstation game series “Uncharted“.
There’s suggestion’s Wahlberg’s not a lock, even talk that the film’s nowhere near happening, but according to the actor it’s happening… and sometime mid-year.
”David O’Russell is writing right now and hopes to direct”, Wahlberg says. “It’s myself, Joe Pesci and Robert De Niro”.
The musician turned actor says they’re “hopefully going to shoot it in the Summer time”.
To any Wahlberg haters or Fillion supporters it seems your hopes may indeed have come to an end. Wahlberg has claimed to be locked into the project several times and his latest movie
The Fighter was helmed by director David O’Russell and is gaining plenty of positive and Oscar worths buzz that may act as a reason for O. Russel to reuse Wahlberg.
Uncharted has no release date but if Wahlberg is indeed speaking the truth then a summer start date for filming should be in line.
