Who didn't see this one coming?

According to the Hollywood Reporter, the PlayStation 3 exclusive Uncharted: Drake's Fortune is set to hit the big screen. The adaptation of the Indiana Jones-type game will be written by Kyle Ward, who has also penned game-to-movie scripts for Kane & Lynch and Hitman 2, and produced by Avi Arad, Charles Roven, Ari Arad and Alex Gartner.

The story of Uncharted: Drake's Fortune follows Nathan Drake, a descendant of Sir Francis Drake, on a hunt to find the South American city of El Dorado. What follows is an adventure filled with greedy pirates, cursed treasure, and zombie Nazis. The sequel Uncharted 2: Among Thieves comes out this fall.

While there's no word on who will star in the movie, I have a two suggestions for the producers: Nolan North or Nathan Fillion. North voiced Drake in both Uncharted: Drake's Fortune and the upcoming Uncharted 2: Among Thieves. As for Fillion, not only does Drake look remarkably similar to the Firefly actor, but sounds remarkably similar to him, as well. Either actor would make the fans of this series very, very happy.

As for Elena and Sully: what do you all think? Who's our dream cast for the big screen adaptation for Uncharted: Drake's Fortune?
