Uncharted: Drake's Fortune gonna get filmed

Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune is a video game franchise I haven’t played and soon it will be a movie. It’s basically Lara Croft sans boobs, aka Indiana Jones modern day. And it better not have any nuked fridges! What is interesting is there is some sort of alternate playthrough where your character Nathan Drake is fat fat fat, known as Donut Drake! Now that’s a movie!

David O. Russell (Three Kings, The Fighter) has been set to write and direct Columbia Pictures’ Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune, an action-adventure based upon the bestselling PlayStation 3 game, it was announced today by Doug Belgrad and Matt Tolmach, presidents of Columbia Pictures. The film will be produced by Avi Arad, Charles Roven, Ari Arad, and Alex Gartner.

The story follows the adventures of treasure hunter Nathan Drake.

Commenting on the announcement, Tolmach said, “David is a tremendous choice to take on this film. He’s equally adept at combining all the classic elements involved in this property: great character development, strong comedy, and amazing action sequences. He has a brilliant vision for this material and we know he will bring his original, unique voice to this adaptation.”
