Uncharted Game Set For Screen Uncharted game goes out to screenwriter
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?

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
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
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
