TheUnchartedgames have an incredible legacy and this is due to the compelling narrative that joins the franchise and the action set pieces that add to the journey. However, the franchise is entering new and dangerous waters as it attempts to adapt to the big screen. Ever sinceNathan Fillion was in a shortUnchartedfilmexcitement around a possible project has begun to mount and although the actor does not seem to be in the upcoming project fans are still eager to see what will be produced. The film is about to begin shooting, and the voice of Nathan Drake in the games, Nolan North, has had kind words to say for the cast.
TheUnchartedproject has already had several directorsand many have feared that the film would remain in development hell, or worse, it would be another poor video game crossover into film. With that said the game series, is known for its cinematic qualities as well as its Indiana Jones inspiration and this may help it transition formats better than most. Nolan North certainly seems to be taking this positive attitude when it comes to the film.

In a tweet, Nolan North told starts Mark Wahlberg and Tom Holland to “have a blast!” The actor signed off his tweet with “Sic Parvis Magna” which means greatness from small things in theUnchartedgames. A lot of fans were encouraged by what seems to be a seal of approval from the original Nathan Drake but some had concerns about supporting the actors who will feature in theUnchartedfilm.
Some of the top replies to this positive message highlighted some ethical questions thatcasting Mark Walbergraises. The actor has a history of attacking people because of their race and has been convicted for his abusive and violent crimes in the past. With that said, the crimes were thirty years ago and since then Walberg has been in a lot of successful films. As a result, it is unlikely that the dark history of the actor will impact his cinematic appeal for most fans.
Despite some controversy, it seems that there is a lot of positive feeling around theUnchartedfilm. With thefilming ofUnchartedbeginningnow many will be excited to see how the story of Nathan Drake is retold and whether it can reach the exciting heights of its video game inspiration.
