The director of Uncharted isn't using David O. Russell's screenplay, and isn't even thinking about casting Nathan Fillion yet.
Now that Limitless director Neil Burger has taken over Uncharted, the adaptation of Sony's popular treasure hunting videogame franchise, we all have questions to ask. Is he going to be keeping any of previous director David O. Russell's work? Will he listen to the internet fervor to cast Nathan Fillion as Nathan Drake? And what makes Uncharted different from Indiana Jones or National Treasure? In our interview with the director for this week's DVD/Blu-Ray release of Limitless (look for it tomorrow), he had this to say:
Nekki has announced that the forthcoming gun fu game, SPINE, will receive a movie adaptation to expand the franchise.
Anthracite Review: This Netflix thriller makes us go down several engaging roads and the twists and turns are delicious.
Stolen Review: Elle Márjá Eira makes an attempt at creating a story revolving Sámi people of Sweden.
Funny how everyone seems to be more and more optimistic about this movie series now that David O'Russell is off. He better make sure that Marky Mark is off this project.
I'm more excited mostly because this guy actually seems to know the videogame pretty well. In David O. Russell's interviews it sounded like he had never played the damn games, and if he did, he didn't think games were a strong enough storytelling platform and needed help.
This guys really sounds like he gets the game and understands how cinematic it already was. I'm way more excited than I was.
Don't know the game but the movie sounds like a good idea. Bradly Cooper...not so much. I like him okay but not for what this seems to be.
