David O. Russell to write, direct Uncharted: Drake's Fortune

What, no Uwe Boll? I'm disappointed.

Uncharted developer denies a lot of the rumors

Family dynamic rumor:

“First of all, all that stuff was denied by David O. Russell. He actually called us up and was like, ‘I don’t know what these guys are talking about.’”

Wahlberg casting:

“Mark Wahlberg isn’t anywhere near to being confirmed to play Nathan Drake either — it’s just Hollywood scuttlebutt, apparently.”

Nathan Fillion request from the fandom:

“Message received.”

If Fillion actually did land the role of Drake, could they cast Stana Katic as Chloe in the sequel?

Yay!

I can't think of who I'd want now, but I certainly don't want Channing Tatum. Actually all the mentions so far are good. For the ladies, if Chloe is in the movie version I don't see why Claudia Black can't reprise the role. And I think I'd prefer Chris Hemsworth over Chris Pine, but I am on a Fassbender kick now anyway.

I have to get my husband's opinion as he's played 1 and 2. Aren't they making a third game, I wonder how they will work out all the scheduling and marketing so it lines with a movie?

^ Yeah U3 is scheduled to be released on November 1st, 2011.

So Mark isn't playing Drake? Sweet as I couldn't think of an actor more unsuited for the role. That being said, despite Uncharted 2 being ranked in my top 5 games off all time, I have no desire to see this...unless Chris Evans gets the role.
