Limitless Helmer Neil Burger to Write and Direct Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune
We already wrote about Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune project, so by now you know that previously announced David O. Russell is no longer in charge for the whole thing.
But, today we learned something quite interesting, and we’re here to share that info with you.
It looks that Neil Burger, man behind the Limitless project is now in talks to take over the video game adaptation at Sony Pictures.
Well, that could be an interesting replacement. After all, there are already some rumors saying that this project has “the potential launch of its own ‘Indiana Jones’-like franchise after the first two games turned into a standout hit exclusive to the PlayStation division.”
Variety also adds that Burger landed the offer after the studio and producers Avi Arad, Ari Arad, Charles Roven and Alex Gartner sparked to his new take on the pic – one that’s more closely tied to the game.
“Uncharted” Movie News
Sony Pictures has hired two new writers to adapt “Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune,” a movie based on PlayStation 3 hit video game, into a theatrical feature, reports Latino Review.
It was previously announced that Kyle Ward (Hitman 2) was writing the script for the action-adventure, but apparently that deal never went through.
Joshua Oppenheimer and Thomas Dean Donnelly are set to pen the film adaptation. They have previously penned “Sahara” and are the writers on the upcoming “Dead of Night” and “Conan” adaptations.
