Wahlberg is a good actor but he's horrifically mis-cast in this. There's just no way he could pull of the charm or cockiness of Drake.
Honestly, Nathan Fillion is the perfect choice for Drake. He look's like him, he sounds like him, they have the same sense of humor and comedic timing. Fillion plays video games so he's probably played both Uncharted games and knows what they're about and who Drake is. He's hardly unknown now either. Castle has got really strong ratings so its not like people haven't seen him before and I seriously doubt he would have a hard time getting a talk show appearance to promote the film.
Its a shame they seem to being going out of their way to make this a bad movie. I've been playing video games for more than 20 years and while many games promise the "you're playing a movie" experience the Uncharted games are only ones to really deliver on that promise. I hope progress on the film stalls, it gets stuck in development Hell and everyone leaves the project and people who actually want to make an Uncharted film, and just use the title and try to piggyback off the success of the games are brought on board.
