Uncharted: Drake's Fortune

[iv3rdawG]

Nolan North, the voice actor behind Nathan Drake in PS3 series Uncharted, believes the producers of the upcoming movie adaptation will look to secure major Hollywood talent for the film's lead roles.

Sony confirmed in July that the franchise was headed to the big screen after signing a deal with Columbia Pictures. The movie's set to be produced by Avi Arad, Charles Roven, and Alex Gartner.

Speaking on the latest Official PlayStation podcast, North was asked if he was going to audition for the movie, to which he replied: "Actually I just spoke with Ari Arad... Yeah, I want to do the movie. I mean I would love to do it as Nathan Drake and if I keep getting such recognition as bringing this character to life like no one else can, I would love to play myself. But I've been in this business for long time now and I've done film, I've done television and I understand the realities of the business..."

North said that investors are more willing to part with their cash if household names are signed up to a project. If he's overlooked for the starring role, North would like to see Hugh Jackman of Wolverine fame play Drake.

"I would love them to get Hugh Jackman if they're not going to use me... I think the producers really would like to see Jackman because... he has that tough guy exterior but... there's a lot going on behind his eyes. There's a lot of emotion and sensitivity on that brusque exterior. And he has great comic timing. I mean he's a phenomenal actor and I just hope that I get a part in the movie where I get to work with Hugh."
