Mathew McConaughey to play Nathan Drake in new Uncharted movie?

Nathan Drake- Uncharted:Drakes Fortune

Nathan Drake- Uncharted:Drake's Fortune

A game like Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune, definitely has the probability of becoming a movie. It has a great script, good voice acting and lots and lots of action. So you could see why Hollywood would jump all over this game to make it a movie adaptation. They do everything else.

Well apparently the guys over at ThePlaystatioNetwork.com(check out the article here) have a tipster who tipped them off about the person playing the role of Nathan Drake. That person… Mathew McConaughey. Now before everyone starts talking about how bad this would be because of the roles he usually plays, like in the movie How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days, don’t ask why I know this. Think about the role he played in the movie Sahara. He played a treasure hunter, an eager one at that, that would  stop at nothing before finding his next clue, ultimately leading him to the treasure. Sound familiar? It should, the two characters and roles resemble each other in a lot of ways.

Uncharted: Drakes fortune is undoubtedly one of the best games for the PS3 console, and with the second on the way there is no doubt that evidence has proved it will be just as good. Point is we all know what happens to most of the movies that take the adaptation from video games. It usually does not turn out good. I’m sure most of us would love to see an Uncharted movie, but on the flip side, it would be terrible to see it fail. This is all here say as well so take it with a grain of salt. If and when more information on the movie and actor(s) in question rises, we’ll be on top of it.

    I've always said that Nathan Fillion [from Firefly/Serenity and Dr. Horrible] should play Drake if there's an Uncharted movie. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nathan_Fillion

    I just realized they kind of look alike, obviously a younger McConaughey in the pic, but thats funny!

    Anyways i personally would love to see an Uncharted movie, and I think MM would be a good fit.
