Uncharted: Drake's Fortune coming to the theaters

[Queasy]

Yay? - There's no IMDB page up for it so no word on who would star as Nathan Drake yet.

Columbia has found "Uncharted: Drake's Fortune."

The studio is developing the action-adventure video game for a feature film, setting Kyle Ward to pen the adaptation that would be produced by Avi Arad, Charles Roven, Ari Arad and Alex Gartner.

The story follows a descendent of explorer Sir Francis Drake, a treasure hunter named Nate Drake who believes he has learned the whereabouts of El Dorado, the fabled South American golden city, from a cursed golden statue. The search becomes competitive when a rival hunter joins the fray, then is racheted up several notches when creatures -- actually mutated descendants of Spaniards and Nazis -- begin attacking those hoping to learn the treasure's true secrets.

The game, from Sony Computer Entertainment, sold 1 million copies in the first 10 weeks of its release at the end of 2007

Ward, repped by CAA and Benderspink, is making a name for himself in the game-to-film world, having written "Kane & Lynch" for Lionsgate (Bruce Willis is attached to star) and getting hired to work on "Hitman 2" for 20th Century Fox.

The Arads, through their Arad Prods., are developing "Maximum Ride" set up at Columbia. The adaptation of the James Patterson book has Catherine Hardwicke attached to direct.

Roven and Gartner's Atlas Entertainment banner has the Nicolas Cage period horror pic "Season of the Witch" due out this year.

I'll just put this over here, in the pile of "movies that don't need to be made"

Yeah, there still hasn't been a quality video game movie but Hollywood keeps trying for some reason.

Angelina Jolie would be great :lips:

Avi Arad is a pretty good movie producer, he produced most of the Marvel movies.

I'm playing through the game now. It would probably make a good movie story, but it's pretty similar in style to Indiana Jones and Tomb Raider.

I just met the mutants and they are really annoying and frustrating! i like how i can take several bullets but i can only take 2 swipes from these things. i've died more since I met them than I have the whole game up until now.

Yeah, they really threw a wrench into the whole thing. My least favorite part of the game.

a wrench? try a stick of dynamite!

OMG!!! I'm trying to turn on the generator and they just keep coming!

Is there a trick to this? I can't aim because they are too fast, so I just run and gun, which wastes ammo. can't melee them because you can't let them get close. I got the generator running but once I get into the main room again, they just keep spawning and I'm not sure where to go after that.

Yeah that whole part was lame and my least favorite part of the game. Playing it on hard was really annoying too but the only thing you can do is just keep trying. With enough deaths you'll either finally get past it or just get pissed off and give up.

From what I remember you just need to go back out that main door that you came in from (once you do the 2 doors on each side of the room)

Well, out of any hot game property out there right now, Uncharted is probably one of the very, very few that would be suited for a transition to the silver screen.

What's next in this long line of Hollywood train wrecks? Titanic the Musical?! Oh wait...

As bad as game based movies are, they still bring in a lot of cash. Until people stop watching them, studios will keep producing them.

(Yes, there really is a musical Titanic movie, made by some Italian director)

Worse, wasn't it animated? Also talking animals or something iirc.

Just finished the game. Story was pretty good and the gameplay was fun, except in a few areas where it was just frustrating. Can't wait for the 2nd one to come out now!

Just shoot from the hip. You take them down pretty fast. You just need to keep moving.

If they make this game into a movie, I would absolutely go see it. I thought the game was fantastic. I played through it multiple times and I even beat it on Crushing difficulty.
