Based on the delay of the Sony and Naughty Dog film, the actor gives his opinion about this adaptation and the concept in general.
The delay in Uncharted's film adaptation to the end of 2021 is just one of many productions in the audiovisual industry affected by the coronavirus (COVID-19). The Sony movie, which will star Tom Holland (Spider-Man), has finally chosen to reach the big screen rather than the global trend of recent years, television. For Nolan North, voice of Nathan Drake in video games, the latter is better when adapting video games.
In a meeting with Retro Play, both Nolan North and Troy Baker – a voice of Sam Drake and Joel in The Last of Us – have reflected on this long-awaited film from the PlayStation franchise and the already confirmed series of The Last of Us Part 2 That will be adapted by HBO and the Chernobyl showrunner on television.
"I think the fact that they are going to adapt The Last of Us in series is much better than making a movie of anything," says North in reference to video games. “I think having the guy who made Chernobyl is exactly what you need to do this kind of thing. I'm more excited about that, to be honest, than about an Uncharted movie, ”he continues. In addition, he expands making it clear that for him Mark Wahlberg is not the most suitable actor to play Sully.
Baker is not much more optimistic. In his opinion, condensing a video game from 12 to 16 hours into a film of just 2 hours makes it all the more difficult because "there are many things on the table that have to happen" throughout the film.

Cory Barlog (God of War) also prefers series to movie in video games
The opinion of Cory Barlog, father of God of War, is similar to that of both. At the beginning of the year, the manager commented that for him an adaptation to the small screen was better than to the big rooms because of the time television allows when establishing relationships between characters, their development and the way in which This relationship with the viewer is strengthened. A parallel example is The Witcher, one of Netflix's biggest global trends of recent times and one of the greatest hits of recent years.
