+1. Could be a new classic and lead to a great trilogy as long as they get the cast right and put enough money into it.

Nathan Fillion would be perfect, but that's probably not going to happen. I can't picture David O. Russell at all directing this. I'd pick someone different, but I can't figure out who (apart from maybe Joss Whedon, who's already busy with The Avengers).

He looks weird with hair though...

He was my choice when Uncharted 1 came out.

However, JK Simmons would be better.

That would be epic!

[The TRUST]

I think Bradley Cooper would be a cool Drake.

Paul Walker would be a decent Drake I think....

I've recently been going though number 2 again, This would be a brilliant movie.

I dont think he is really that good of an actor but i find many of his movies to be very entertaining like Joy Ride, Fast and Furious(all), Into The Blue, and his new movie Takers looks good IMO.

Running Scared isn't bad either.

To be completely honest, I agree that he could pull it off with some weight training, make-up, and hair dye.

However, I still stick with the idea that Nathan Fillion is the perfect man for the film adaptation. He's got the perfect comedic chops for this type of role and already mostly looks the part.

This was pretty much a given. Ever since the Three Kings and I Heart Huckabees director was announced as being in the running to direct the adaptation of the video game Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune, the choice seemed too odd to ever manifest itself as anything more than a fun discussion piece. And as the fates would have it, that’s now the case.

David O. Russell won’t be directing Drake’s Fortune. Learn more about this development after the break.

According to the Los Angeles Times, there had been ongoing negotiations for the past few weeks between Russell, the studio and the producers, but they were unable to come to an agreement about the terms of the film. This isn’t too surprising, given that the film is intended to be a major tentpole release, and Russell isn’t one to make concessions on his movies for the sake of adhering to a safe studio format. Not to mention, Russell is known for being notoriously hard to work with when he isn’t getting his way, so I doubt there was a whole lot of compromising coming from his side.

I see this as being for the best, but then, I have never considered a Drake’s Fortune movie to be a good idea. The video game is phenomenal, but much of that is due to the gameplay elements allowing you to interact within its throwback Indiana Jones setting. Remove the gameplay, and you’re left with something more akin to Romancing the Stone or National Treasure—modestly enjoyable movies, sure, but not of the same caliber we expect from someone like David O. Russell.

It is sad though that Russell can’t seem to catch a break, but it’s unclear how much of that is his own fault. Most recently he quit his film Nailed, which had already been having numerous financial problems prior to his departure.

Russell is currently set to direct two other projects: Old St. Louis starring Vince Vaughn, and an adaptation of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, starring Natalie Portman. Truthfully, I see the latter joining Drake’s Fortune as a ‘what-if’ curiosity that we’ll never actually see.

Russell’s next film, The Fighter (starring Christian Bale and Mark Wahlberg), hits theaters December 10, 2010.

Good. I hope this movie gets scrapped. Love Uncharted as a game, but I don't want to see it turn into just another video game movie, which 99% of them suck.
