Neil Burger No Longer Helming UNCHARTED; Video Game Adaptation To Get A Rewrite

I need to play these games

@ fettastic
Nah. Nathan Drake is suppose to look more like a Calvin Klein model.

First, the writers of National Treasure are hacks. Both movies sucked. Give it to someone like Jon Favreau (he knows how to intertwine action and comedy at the flip of the hat like he did in Iron Man).

Second, you want a good Nathan Drake.

Well it's official. This movie has gone down the shithole. @BattlinMurdock get busy writing. @FriendlyJoShFest right on man! The games play like a movie and they completely F'd up my 2nd FAV game franchise of all time. Resident Evil movies suck.

just let it DIE!

Great trilogy.

all three games can be translated to the big screen, especially Amongst Thieves. Like santoanderson says, get the writers from Naughty Dog....and I also could see Matt Bomer as Drake

Video game movies fail for either 3 reasons.
1. Some try to adapt the story of the game, instead of instead making the film a prequel, if you try to put an 8-10 hour game into a 2 hour movie then that's going to affect the quality. Make an original story that's takes place in the game's universe. For example the Silent Hill movies. Instead of just using story elements and characters from the games, why not create an original story with a new protagonist that fits into the video game universe. Or make the film a sort of spiritual successor that has the feeling, ideas, and atmosphere of the games. So then they can create new monster designs and the like.

2. They stray too far from the feeling of the games. Resident Evil is more of a straight up zombie action movie now than a legitimately scary movie.

3. Make sure the movie is good movie IN GENERAL. Having the best video game movie isn't that much if a bragging right since the standard is so low. Focus less on trying to include stuff from the game and more time actually making a quality movie.

Directors keep dropping out, because the script isn't good.

I enjoyed the first National Treasure. I also watched *cough* Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle *cough*.

Their writing credits are a bit hit and miss. That makes me concerned for the script, because I want this movie to be great.

Nathan Fillion and Bruce Campbell. Where do I sign up?

I like the idea of Emily Rose reprising her role as Elena and Campbell as Sully...but Fillion as Drake? Seriously?

Maybe ten years ago in his Firefly days, but not now.

Thank God!! I thought Mark Wahlberg was going to play as Drake but this is great news!!!
As a die hard fan of these games (the second and third are the best in my opinion) this is something good to hear. But I hope it does not fail just like other movies based on VGs...

So...BRING IT!!!

Goddamnit, just let this project die...! I don't know anybody who actually wants this to happen, and that's not even considering that everything they came up with so far was plain ridiculous.

@JillValenfield Yah, thankfully Mark Wahlberg was dropped as Nathan Drake after David O. Russel left the project. He got the gig, because David and him worked on The Fighter together.

I don't own a PS3(sometimes being a Xbox 360 owner has its drawbacks), so I haven't played the games.

I've heard so many great things about them though. And I love adventurer heroes. I really hope this movie raises the bar for movie based video games.

Althought the spider in the third one was! Those crawled under your skin too! I HATE SPIDERS!

Great games I've platinumed all of them but I don't think the movie would be any good.
