Predicted it'd be Wahlberg because of his ties to the director and personally I think it's an ok choice, anyone that's seen The Other Guys knows that Wahlberg has pretty surprising comedy chops but whether or not he's charismatic enough is another thing - I would've looked at Ryan Reynolds, Bradley Cooper or Josh Holloway

The guy who plays the newspaper boss in spiderman would be perfect as sully

So a lot of people aren't too happy over the fact that Mark Wahlberg is playing Nathan Drake in the new David O. Russell film "Uncharted: Drake's Fortune." Regardless, this sucker is still going ahead in pre-production and Russell wants to spill more information on how the adaptation of the video game will turn out.

The story is centered on Nathan Drake (Wahlberg) and his journey to find the lost treasure on a far-away island. That's basically it in a nutshell, and there isn't too many characters to deal with. Well, that is until Russell decided to do otherwise. He wants to put this sub-plot of an extended family joining along for the ride.

"This idea really turns me on that there's a family that's a force to be reckoned with in the world of international art and antiquities... [a family] that deals with heads of state and heads of museums and meets out justice," he said.

"We'll have the family dynamic, which we've done in a couple of movies now," he said. "And then you take that and put it on the bigger, more muscular stage of an international action picture, but also put all the character stuff in it. That's a really cool idea to me."

Why am I for some reason reminded of "Journey to the Center of the Earth?" Oh God, please don't let this turn out to be 3D.

They're hoping to churn out a finished product of "Drake's Fortune" pretty quickly for Sony Pictures, especially since Russell is halfway done with the script. Let's see how this all turns out once production goes underway, and here's hoping it's at least decent.
