'Uncharted' Film - Seth Gordon quits, new creative direction

Not surprised, the guy can be a bit of a control freak and has been known to throw a wobbler if he doesn't get what he wants.

Does this mean Wahlberg has pulled out too?

As do I. Those who put him down obviously haven't seen either Boogie Nights or The Departed; both of which he shined in.

It's not that I don't like him, I just feel there are actors better suited to the role.

Yeah, I guess, as much as I like him, there are more suitable actors for the role.

Hopefully this will be canned now.

Shame, I was looking forward to exploring the family dynamic

Uncharted movie troubled as Sony gets brains behind National Treasure to rewrite script
Limitless director no longer attached to project.

Will the Uncharted movie ever come out? Further doubt was cast on its future last night after Sony tapped up a new team to rewrite the script.

Scribes Marianne and Cormac Wibberley, the brains behind Disney's National Treasure films, are rewriting Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, according to Variety.

And in further bad news, Neil Burger (Limitless and The Illusionist) is "no longer attached" to direct the film. Apparently Sony and all the other many stakeholders will wait until the new script is written before seeking a new director.

In September 2011 Uncharted developer Naughty Dog gave the Uncharted movie its blessing, with then co-lead designer Richard Lemarchand telling Eurogamer Burger's appointment was a "very good sign". Oh well.

This latest setback is just another in a long list of twists and turns in the project's on-again off-again history. In early 2011 Burger was announced as director after previous director David O. Russell's acrimonious exit from the project.

At the time Burger said the new team was "starting from scratch" on the script and "going back to the video game". His comments enthused Uncharted fans who were concerned by the direction Russell was taking the film before he walked out.

Russell's vision would have seen Mark Wahlberg's Nathan Drake as a member of a family of antique traders that also included father Robert De Niro and uncle Joe Pesci.

Burger's vision appeared closer to video game developer Naughty Dog's virtual world.

Just re read the first pages of this thread :lol:

Sony: None of you have a strawberry floating clue what you're doing.

Inevitably 1 of 3 things are going to happen though.

A) This film is never coming out.
B) It's going to be nothing like the game and complete gooseberry fool.
C) It's going to be just like the game, therefore leaving you wishing you were just playing the game in the first place.

That reminds me, I just lost the game.

I can just picture the parents leaving with their kids after the film.

Daddy, why did he have to shoot the baddies so much before they even flinched?
strawberry float knows, son.

What the hell was Chalky talking about? Nolan North in no way, shape or form, resembles Nathan Drake in any possibly manner except the voice

He could wear a clever face mask and go to the gym.

How many gunfights is this film going to have, then?

Because the games are seriously over-saturated with them.
