I know you don’t want to read this but the chances of the Uncharted movie being anything like, well, Uncharted, are disappearing fast. David O. Russel has been talking about the film and said:

As far as I’m concerned, I’m very respectful as far as the core content and sprit of the game, but beyond that it’s my job as a filmmaker to make what I think is going to be an amazing movie. People have to trust that and let that go

To ‘be respectful’, Mr Russel has played the game ‘a bunch of times’ and met the game’s creator, Amy Hennig, who is ‘really cool’. To reflect the ‘core content’ of the game, Mr. Russel once again describes the ‘really intense family dynamic’ which I think I may have missed in the game, possibly as Drake doesn’t have a family.

To demonstrate just how well he has understood the Uncharted franchise David O. Russel said:

To grow a game into a movie is an interesting proposition because a game is a very different experience than a movie. You guys are playing the game, and it’s about playing the game. It’s not about a narrative embracing you emotionally. You know what I’m saying?

That will be Uncharted, universally acclaimed franchise and winner of multiple awards for writing, storytelling, direction and performance.
