Post'Uncharted' Film - Seth Gordon quits, new creative direction
by tomvek » Fri Jun 26, 2009 2:53 pm

A feature film based on Naughty Dog's action-adventure series Uncharted is in the works at Columbia Pictures, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

Kyle Ward, the same largely-untested writer tasked with penning the scripts for Hitman 2 and the Kayne & Lynch adaptation, will handle the screenplay. Avi Arad, Charles Roven, Ari Arad and Alex Gartner have been assigned as producers.

No other details on the film were mentioned in the report.

Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, the story of Indiana Jones-esque protagonist Nathan Drake, was released in 2007 on PlayStation 3. The anticipated sequel, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, will arrive in stores this November.

Meh, there'll never come a day where you see me excited for a videogame turn film :|

The VA makes the character who he is, so if he just loses a little weight he's there. Otherwise, straight to the bin with it - like Hitman and probably MGS.

If they don't use the actors from the game this will be an utter failure. These people are all real actors after all. And damn good at it.

And the characters were surely modelled to look like the VA's - look at them!

Can't wait to see how horribly miscast each character is.

I always thought the guy who played Shepherd from Stargate Atlantis would have made a decent drake. Would need to be a little less whiny though. I would, of course, play the role of Sully.

They're all experienced actors. They've been in loads of stuff, particularly the woman that plays Elena.

I agree. They should have done that with Hitman too.
