Mark Wahlberg is Nathan Drake

Max Payne film star to take lead role in another video game adaptation.

Mark Wahlberg in an interview with MTV has stated that director David O. Russell is currently writing the script and plans to start shooting the film next summer. Wahlberg never explicitly stated he would be playing Nathan Drake but mentioning the intention for Joe Pesci to play his uncle and Robert De Niro to play his father would lead you to believe so. We will have to wait and hope that Russell and his planned cast give the game a good adaptation but with previous films based on video games usually being big flops there won’t be any high expectations.
