David O. Russell being nominated for 'Best Director' and having his latest movie, The Fighter, also up for an Academy Award has done little to ease the minds of worried fans of the Uncharted franchise. Having made it clear that he has his own ideas for where a big screen adaptation should take Nathan Drake (set to be played by Mark Whalberg) the status of the project is currently unknown with the director said to be interested in several other projects, and the games creators, Naughty Dog, denying that the drastic and unpopular changes previously mentioned will in fact be taking place.
Perhaps the only good piece of news surrounding the planned film was that there were roles written in mind for veteran actors Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci. In a recent interview with MTV News, the former confirmed his interest in the film but revealed that he's not yet read a script or been offered anything officially.
