Rumor: Uncharted Movie in the Works? - May 09, 2008 02:23
According to joystick.com


Last time we caught wind of some Hollywood fat cats eying up the BioShock license like a so many pounds of plasmid-injected steak (Take-Two' s chairman later listed a cinematic adaptation of the property under " potential opportunities" ). This time, a well-placed source close to the deal tells us that the movie rights to Naughty Dog' s highly cinematic action-adventure game, Uncharted: Drake' s Fortune, have been optioned by Atlas Entertainment. There isn' t much else to go on besides that; the project has yet to be formally announced and is still in the earliest stages (that is to say: being written). When asked for comment, an SCEA spokesperson told us, " We have not made any announcements regarding movie options."

With the original tomb raider hitting theaters again this year, and a sequel to the well-received game all but confirmed, a Hollywood tie-in seems like a perfect fit (and by perfect fit, we mean half-tucked). The real debate will be over who plays dashing (yet pirate-murdering) hero, Nathan Drake. Our lunch money is on that guy from Firefly ... he' s perfect, right? And get this: his name is already Nathan. Talk about kismet.



Hollywood isn' t making any more original films, they want to exploit more games because they see a lot of $$$$ in them
You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.
