Good News About The Uncharted Movie

Tuffcub 36 Comments

Neil Burger, the new director attached to the Uncharted movie, has been talking to Crave Online and they asked all the right questions.

First, they queried Burger on the old script – would he be using David O’ Russell’s screenplay?

No, I haven’t seen his screenplay on it. Mainly we’re beginning from scratch and going back to the videogame. Because there’s a lot of cool stuff, actually, from the videogame.

Goodbye Drake’s dad! Seeya ‘Sopranos feel’! Au revoir father/son relationships! Unlike Russell, Burger seems to have played the games as he said,

It’s really one of the most cinematic videogames, and one that has really developed characters. So, you know, there’s a lot of cool, really intense things that, if they work for the film’s story, I want to use them.

David O. Russell’s take on Drake and chums was ‘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’. How does Burger view Uncharted?

Uncharted is very much up to the minute, of the moment. It’s very “now” and contemporary and it has this sort of rough and very intense feel that a movie like The Bourne Identity has. It’s really up to date in its own way. The Bourne Identity isn’t your father’s Cold War movie and this is a very different kind of treasure hunt movie.

It’s very real and it has kind of an insane, wild feeling that comes out of the character; Nate being this con man and a bit of a hustler, living by his wits,ballsy and capable of anything.

By now you should all be throwing your hats in the air and dancing on tables.

  1. Best news I’ve ever heard regarding this film.

    • This is very good news.
      I hope that they don’t rush it. A film per game sounds good

      • NOOOO.

        The release date should be disconnected completely from the games’. It they have to time the release of the movie to the games schedule we will end up with crap, like we always do when it’s the other way around.

  2. Any news if Wahlberg still lead actor?

    • Nope, he’s gone as well.

      • Woohoooo!!! *throws hat* *dances on desk* *gets funny looks* *locks self away in toilet*

      • Start the Nathan Fillion campaign again

      • thats even better news…I will throw my pants in the air for that one

      • YES!! That’s the best news of them all!!

        *braces himself for when the news hits that they’ve cast Chris Brown as Nate*

      • God that’s better news than the whole rest of the post, now all we need is nathan fillion

      • I hope it’s either Joe Flanigan (who looks exactly like Nate Drake, and sounds like him and overall his character in SGA his Nathan Drake in space) or Nathan Fillion (Who, despite looking older than Drake, his character in FF/S is Nathan Drake in space and overall he his a better actor than Flanigan).

    • Wahlberg exit, icing on the cake.

      • Another vote for Joe Flannigan here, love Fillion and I’d be happy to see him as Nate but Flannigan can play Nathan Drake in his sleep. Plus, I can’t have Fillion taking time off from Castle, need my Beckett and Castle will they won’t they, crime fighting fix!!

  3. Thats what i want to see. This film could actually turn out good now.

  4. Brilliant news. There is hope yet!

  5. Get Nolan (Drakes voice)! or something he can act too ya know :)

    • Yeah, I feel that the voice is very important, Im sure they can make him look like drake in a way too.

  6. *dances around a burning copy of the script*:D

    Hopefully we will get the same quailty as the games. I wonder if they will turn into in a animated/CGI movie? If so then they will know who to get for voicing the main cast.;) Now if you excuse me, i need to steal Peter’s podcasting hat and dance on a table.

  7. Sounds great, considering all the problems game movies have suffered over the past two decades. Although I wont be one to watch it, I hope he does the franchise justice!

  8. Sounds like sense to me….

  9. That’s all great news, but saying these things and actually pulling it off are completely different. It’s a good start though.

  10. Huzzar! keep the good news coming
