Nathan Fillion Sets An <i>Uncharted</i> Campaign Into Action  

David O. Russell has said adios to Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, abandoning the walking dead period piece in favor of adapting the video game Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune — and Firefly’s Nathan Fillion wants to set sail with him.

Fillion is no stranger to impassioned casting campaigns from his fans, with legions of his supporters having pushed for roles such as Hal Jordan in Green Lantern and Hank Pym in The Avengers. Never one to pass on stirring the pot, Fillion took the occasion of the Uncharted news to goad his Twitter followers on the path of a new campaign.

“If ever there was a Twitter campaign, let this be it,” Fillion said of his hopeful Uncharted involvement. “Rise, ye Browncoats. Rise, ye Castillions. RISE!”

Having played the space-faring rogue Mal Reynolds for far too short a time on Firefly and Serenity, Fillion would be right at home in the shoes of Nate Drake, the charismatic hero at the center of the Uncharted series. If you’re a Fillion fan hoping to make your voice heard on this project, you certainly have the actor’s own endorsement.

    He is the only person I thought of in the role as I was playing the game. This is tailor made for him

    We want Nathan Fillion to be cast as Nathan Drake!

    Yes! NATHAN FILLION is the BEST choice to play Nathan Drake! He's got action hero written all over him, with the biceps to prove it. He's extremely bright, clever, funny, sexy, young, hot, and devilishly handsome. And he wants this role as much as we want it for him!

    It's his turn to be the next powerful leading man on the big screen. He's an up-and-coming A-List movie star with muscle and heat and he's a-comin' to take over feature films! I feel it! Grab him while you can for the Uncharted franchise. Because he'll also make the best Indiana Jones when they re-boot those movies!!

    In his campaign to be Nathan Drake, we Browncoats and Castillions firmly support our Captain Nathan Fillion!

    anyone else, would be foolish and flirt dangerously with utter and complete failure.

    I'm a fan of Nathan Fillion's work but I do think he's to old for the part and I don't think that abc will let him take time off from Castle to work on Drakes Fortune for Sony. In my mind this is my top five guys to play Drake Chris Evans, Ryan Reynolds, Garrett Hedlund, Chris Pine, or Taylor Kitsch

  • Ingrid

    Nope. He's too old and not well known enough. Plus, he's not as hot as Drake.

    For Hire on film Uncharted: Drake's Fortune: Nathan Fillion, Journeyman actor. Previous experience in action film and television as leading man; Firefly, Serenity as Mal Reynolds. Sheriff Bill Pardy in the film Slither. Richard Castle on Castle. In short, the fans want Nathan Fillion as Nathan Drake!!
