I'm kind of tired of movie stars taking all the VO jobs. We don't benefit from having these characters share a voice with spiderman and starlord.

Yeah this is fucking stupid. How about we get actual talented voice actors, instead if these bullshit cameos

This is the most cursed headline I have read in some time. uncharted's Tom Holland? And using a picture from the lost frontier, ooft.

Seriously, who holds Uncharted as Tom's defining role? 😅

My first thought as well!

For fuck's sake, is Chris Pratt going to take all of the video game male leads?

  • Minecraft, starring Chris Pratt as Steve
  • Hitman, starring Chris Pratt as Agent 47
  • Legend of Zelda, starring Chris Pratt as Link
  • Overwatch, starring Chris Pratt as McCree, even though there's already a famous voice actor playing him
  • Red Dead Redemption, starring Chris Pratt as John Marston
  • Grand Theft Auto, starring Chris Pratt as Michael De Santa
  • Street Fighter, starring Chris Pratt as Ken
  • Among Us, starring Chris Pratt as The Red Guy
  • Final Fantasy 7, starring Chris Pratt as Cloud
  • Kirby and the Forgotten Land, starring Chris Pratt as Kirby
  • Halo, starring Chris Pratt as Master Chief

Chris Pratt staring in movies you'll never see because they star Chris pratt, coming this holidays.

My first thought was "So Holland is just going to grunt and breathe or something?" Then i remembered that they made J&D games past The Precursor Legacy.

My second thought was that Chris Pratt won't be able to do justice to Daxter. Get Billy West.

I am morbidly curious about how this movie will turn out. Will they try and make it a family-friendly adventure movie influenced by the first game? Or base it on the sequels, which tried to make everything darker and edgier? Also, why? Like, I would love it if there was a resurgence of interest in Jak & Daxter, but of all the IPs Sony wanted to adapt for film they chose one that hasn't had a game released since 2009?

This is honestly amazing to me since Naughty dog said they weren't going to make "childish" games anymore and now they are making a Jak and Daxter movie? Wild.
