Collider:
Sony Pictures is moving forward with their adaptation of the popular video game Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune, as the project now has new writers. Variety reports that Marianne and Cormac Wibberley (National Treasure) will rewrite the script which was previously written by Neil Burger. The Ilusionist and Limitless director signed on to write and direct Uncharted last summer, but Variety now notes that he’s no longer involved with the project. He recently entered talks to direct the young adult adaptation Divergent, so that may have had something to do with his departure.
With the new The Crow remake coming soon, we take a look back at the 30-year-old cult classic original–and where the stars are now.
Kaam Chalu Hai Review: Based on true events, this movie is thought-provoking and inspiring
Rebel Moon Part 2 Review: This movie doesn't feel anything new or worth remembering, which is a shame.
Great games and hopefully it can be a great movie too.
I'm hoping they get a director that actually knows about the games this time. Perhaps let Naughty Dog actually be a part of the development process? Or is that asking too much?
Is it that hard for Sony to throw Amy Henning a bone and let her prove herself as a film script writter, she apparently got into video game script writting because her film scripts wern't getting any attention because of well known names over shadowing lesser known ones like herself so why don't Sony just let her tweak the Drakes Fortune script...least then they wouldnt have to pay her as much as a well known script writter
Hire Nolan, Emily and Richard for the main characters, throw in some big starts mainly as the villains for star power so they can promote the film with them and there good to go.
Rewrite? They better not change too much. I just hate how films seriously are so different from their main source like Max Payne and Hitman and as long as it doesnt have Sully become his blood relative like David Russel's idea, its cool :L
Just watch a little bit of Heat, Point Break, Romancing the Stone and Indiana Jones. That's how the Uncharted movie should be. Even a bit of The Golden Child would be mice for the one liners on serious situations.
I was watching Raiders of the Lost Ark and Temple of Doom the other day and I don't know what people talk about Drake being a sociopath or having military when Indy is just a university professor and he kills more people than Drake on Uncharted and some of the deaths are like really violent.
