Game to film time again kids and this time it is one that is close to my heart. Sony are pushing for a 2011 release of an adaptation of Uncharted: Drake's Fortune. For anyone unfamiliar with the game it's essentially a good fun actioner with a very cinematic feel to it. You play Nathan Drake, a treasure hunter who is on the trail of The Gold of El Dorado. Set entirely on one Island Drake soon falls foul of various baddies. Think Indiana Jones meets Die Hard and you'd be sailing up the right river...Don't get too excited as, although Sony want to push for a 2011 date, the film still has no director attached. Sony are "in talks" with David O. Russell of I Heart Huckabees fame and even the script is having an overhaul from Thomas Dean Donnelly and Joshua Oppenheimer (Sahara and the new Conan film). So unless there is a small miracle or a hastily made substandard film is released it may still be some time before we see this exciting project take any kind of shape. Definitely one to watch out for though... or not.
