Okay, so it's Saturday and news is always slow on the weekends. Still, I think I would have posted about this any other day in any case. Why? Because it's f**king Nathan Fillion!

Bungie invited Nathan up to their HQ where he got to play Halo: ODST, which according to the latest Bungie update, Halo: ODST "is all wrapped up." Nathan actually has a role in ODST as Buck, the squad leader of the ODST soldiers you'll be playing with.

It looks like Nathan is a big Halo fan. He played Halo: ODST for about six hours when he came to the Bungie offices the first day and then came back for more the following day. He even got to see some super secret details on Halo: Reach.

Oh, Nathan. I'd let you hold my sniper rifle any day.

I love me some Captain Hammer.

Put that gun down Nathan Drake.

You silly boy, You need to be raiding treasure.

Jesus H Christ

Shiny. He was in Halo 3 as well.

This is really very confusing.

Whilst reaserching ODST before I noticed that one of the voices sounded familer in a cinematic. Me and my brother both thought it sounded like NAthan Fillion, however upon futhur investigation (look at the imdb page) we discovered it was soundalike (and Nathan Drake vocal artist) Nolan North!

However upon hearing this news I've just gone back the Imdb page to find it listing Nathan Fillion as the voice talent...

Can anyone confirm if Nolan North was original slated to play the role of Buck and instead it got passed to Fillion... or am I just imagining things.

I hope to god they choose him for Nathan Drake in the Uncharted movie. He's PERFECT for it.

balth@ The rest of the film could be rubbish, yet it would still be awesome.

Onlineatron

'I hope to god they choose him for Nathan Drake in the Uncharted movie. He's PERFECT for it.'

Yeah I hope Nathan Drake is in the Uncharted film too ... =P

But if you are indeed trying to say 'I wish Nathan Fillion would play Drake' then I would have to disagree.

Nathan Drake's voice actor Nolan North would be a perfect fit. Not only due to him actually being the voice, but also because he acts whilst recording the voices for mo-cap. So he would have some idea how to play the part.

Onlineatron: I wasn't sure if it was Nathan in that trailer either.

Also, never ever trust imdb. I learned the hard way that most of the content on that site is user generate, like Wikipedia.

Onlineatron

Ah ok, cheers =D

Why I think Nolan North should do the film

mr spooky

Go play the Conduit for Wii.

Freefall

Gotta love it.

bunnymud

I want to stalk Nathan Fillion until he becomes my drinking buddy

Kyousuke Nanbu

It was Nathan in the trailer, the character even looks like him.

And this is hottest image EVER, I fucking love Nathan, the man turns me 100% gay.

Kris S

Lol bunnymud, you took the slightly crazy words right out of my mouth!

Magnalon

Nathan Fillion won me a contest, and he's absolutely badass.

HiddenAHB

6 Hours?
Damn, they got a nice chunk of the single player plyabale by now then.
Or Nathan Fillion sucks on Halo and died like 300 times.

Pangloss

Everyone is gay for Captain Mal Reynolds.

TripleZer0

@Pangloss you're right...and I'm just fine with that!

Ghil

Nathan Fillion for Drake? hell yeah.

Nitex

I have to admit I fell for the dude with Firefly/Serenity as well. The guy is just awesome. He would definitely make an awesome Nathan Drake.

Onlineatron

Nathan Fillion is like Ryan Renolyds but he isn't a douche and actually enjoys video games.

That being said, perhaps I should get out more... see the sites, enjoy life whilst i''m still young and able.

.....NAH!

Discarded Couch Sandwich

Some days, I wish I were Nathan Fillion... Then my life would truly be fulfiled.

Sharpless

He sure is pretty.

Caffeine Knight

So everybody wants to pretty much deepthroat Nathan Fillion around here, eh?

because I know I do.

brainderailment

WHO?

Dr Horrible

He's one of my favourite actors of all time, nice to see him actually have a TV series that lasts past one season! lol

whatsername

Nathan was the voice in the last Halo, he's said that publicly. He was asked to do it after the programmers found out he played and was a fan, as they were Firefly fans.

Dexter345

Uh, who is Nathan Fillion? Please give those of us who are ignorant of who he is at least a sentence of explanation.

NihonTiger90

Saw a Green Lantern fan-made trailer with Nathan Fillion in it. I would totally go see that movie.

nsolo1717

I used to watch Castle with my Gf and i loved every minute of it

Davram

I thought he was cool until i read this article. :(

Chronic Logic

The phallic imagery is so vivid...

Sharpless

@Dexter
He's most fondly remembered as the star of Firefly, as well as Dr. Horrible's Sing-A-Long Blog. He's also a super-nice, super-cool guy.

JustLikeBuck

This, more that anything has made me want a 360 and H... H... I can't bring myself to say it... Halo.
