It’s a scientific fact that movies based off of video games suck. They usually take what’s in the game and make it all types of wrong. Well if the rumors for the Uncharted movie are to be believed then we may be on the verge of the worst adaptation ever. And yes, I do know of the existence of Uwe Boll and his films.
showbiz411.com is reporting that director David O. Russell is planning to have Robert De niro, Joe Pesci and Mr funky bunch himself, Mark “Marky Mark” Wahlberg in an adaptation of Uncharted. Now don’t get me wrong, De niro and Pesci are easily two of the best actors in history. Their mob movies are all time classics but they do not belong as stars in an Uncharted film. They’d steal the entire movie and take the focus away from Nathan. And (sorry to diverge a bit) but who decided to let Marky Mark be such a super star anyway? The guy is a terrible actor. He needs to go back to rapping and leave acting to the professionals. Yeah, he’s a terrible rapper too but I don’t listen to rap so it would be easier to avoid him that way.
The Uncharted movie will supposedly take place in New York City and be about antiques dealers. Excuse me for using leet speak but WTF? According to the article, the script is being worked on from scratch because the original game had no story and it was just a concept and a name.
ARE YOU F@#$ING KIDDING ME?
Both Uncharted: Drake’s fortune and especially Uncharted 2: Among thieves had what I would call movie ready stories. They were essentially video game versions of the Indiana Jones movies. How can they say the games have no story? These Hollywood people have no clue whatsoever and it’s disgusting.
Under normal circumstances I wouldn’t even care about the state of any movie game but with Uncharted I have to. Uncharted 2 is easily the best game of this current generation of consoles and is my personal #2 game of all time (#1 goes to the brilliant, fantastic, amazing, I ran out of adjectives because it’s so good, Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater). Excuse me for getting graphic but they are metaphorically taking the Uncharted franchise and defecating all over it.
Great job Hollywood. You’ve pushed back the possibility of a good video game adaptation back another 10 years. Sony should take this project away from Russel IMMEDIATELY and start from scratch with a director who knows what the hell they’re doing.
Cool Stuff Universe 1.0 
I hope they’re nothing more than rumours because you’re right, at the moment it’s a disgrace that such a gaming gem is going to be associated with what sounds like complete Hollywood trash, even if it is only by name. Again, if it’s real, Sony really needs to step in here and sort out the whole mess. I’ll settle for no less than Nathan Fillion and a script much closer to original source material.
This is another example of Hollywood elite’s belittling Video Games. Oh it’s just a silly Video Game. It’s nonsense. That became popular because you can shoot things. We know how to write a real movie and we know what gamers want. F U HOLLYWOOD!!!
Who the F is Dinero?!?!
Yea, but Mark Wahlberg and Robert De Niro are gonna be in it. So it can’t be tooooo bad.
De Niro is too big of a star to be in an Uncharted movie and Marky Mark is just trash.
Ok I edited the article so it says De Niro now. I guess I was so mad that I forgot to spell check.
There’s no way Sony would let them get away with re – writing the script for the movie adaptation, that would be a complete embarassment to the Uncharted franchise which, like you said, is easily the best franchise of this generation. Nothing else even comes close to it.
Sony and Naughty Dog know how important the Uncharted games are to the fans and to the industry as a whole, they’re not going to let some talentless hack butcher the story. The quality of writing in games like Uncharted 2, MGS4, Heavy Rain and Final Fantasy XIII completely blows away anything that’s ever come out of Hollywood.
I totally agree. Hopefully this story just stays as a rumor because if it comes true it may damage the Uncharted franchise. With any luck the same thing that happened to the Halo movie will happen here and it will just die before even getting off the ground.
New York city!?. They clearly do not know what the word UNCHARTED means.

“We want Nathan Fillion to be cast as Nathan Drake!
Yes! NATHAN FILLION is the BEST choice to play Nathan Drake! He’s got action hero written all over him, with the biceps to prove it. He’s extremely handsome, bright, clever, sexy, hot, young and devilishly funny. And he wants this role as much as we want it for him!
It’s his turn to be the next powerful leading man on the big screen. We Browncoats and Castillions are determined to get him up where he belongs, and keep him there. He has single-handedly transformed the term “geek” into “sexgod.” He’s an up-and-coming A-list movie star with muscle and heat and he’s a-comin’ to take over feature films! I feel it! Grab him while you can for the Uncharted franchise. Because he’ll also make the best Indiana Jones when they re-boot those movies!!
In his campaign to be Nathan Drake, we Browncoats and Castillions rise up and firmly support our Captain Nathan Fillion!”
