The movie had a $120 million budget and Holland & Wahlberg brings in viewers that may not have heard or played the game. I don't think they would have secured anywhere near that budget with Nathan Fillion playing the leading role. They probably would have been better off going with Fillion, a lower budget, and doing it in a jungle setting like the first game without need for major special effects of the latter games. Personally I thought it was just okay but my 14 year old liked it.
