Uncharted game goes out to screenwriter

Uncharted Game Set For Screen

Hollywood remains convinced that there will one day be a film, based on a videogame, that doesn't suck - and with that eternal optimism in mind, has lined up Uncharted: Drake's Fortune for a screen adaptation.

The story of the game sees adventurer Nate Drake, a descendant of Sir Francis, set out in search of the lost city of El Dorado*, a clue to the whereabouts of which he believes he has discovered. The quest is complicated by a rival treasure hunter, and the emergence of mutated descendants of Spaniards and Nazis (presumably they'll try their best to wipe you out mañana).

Kyle Ward's been hired to write the script - he's recently worked on upcoming game adaptations Kane & Lynch and Hitman 2 (yes, that film spawned a sequel). The film's being produced by Avi and Ari Arad, and Charles "The Dark Knight" Roven. As for casting, may we respectfully suggest Stargate Atlantis' Lt. Colonel Sheppard (Joe Flanigan) who's a dead ringer for the game's Drake?

Nolan North!
onlineatron is right, as good as everyone else's suggestion of Nathan Fillion would be Nolan North actually IS Nathan Drake! Surely he deserves is brake on to the big screen after voicing nearly every game ever. ... Read More

Fillion
Yep i tought the same, but i actually thought it was him who voiced the character in the game when it came out. Obvious choice really! Maybe too obvious? ... Read More

Nathan Fillion - its only fair!!!
Nathan Fillion suits this role - charismatic and established hero actor from Firefly. Hey - it took me awhile to realise that it WASN'T Fillion voicing the character on the game! ... Read More

The Fillion would be great, but my choice would be David Boreanez, I even thought it was him doing the voice when i first played the game. ... Read More

Not a good idea
It sounds like an inferior Indiana Jones rip to me. Add that to the fact that it is impossible to make a good film from a game, and you know it'll be rubbish. Although, the original Pirates of the Caribbean was based on just a disney ride, so maybe.... ... Read More

Wicked Game
I am a big drakes fan and a general game fan. I am always 99% that a film adaptation of a game is gonna suck. But if they are gonna do it I agree with MovieMogul, Nathan Fillion is perfect, as Drake is a cross between Malcolm Reynolds and George Stobart. No other guy should do it ... Read More
