Quelle: latinoreview.comColumbia has found "Uncharted: Drake's Fortune."
The studio is developing the action-adventure video game for a feature film, setting Kyle Ward to pen the adaptation that would be produced by Avi Arad, Charles Roven, Ari Arad and Alex Gartner.
The story follows a descendent of explorer Sir Francis Drake, a treasure hunter named Nate Drake who believes he has learned the whereabouts of El Dorado, the fabled South American golden city, from a cursed golden statue. The search becomes competitive when a rival hunter joins the fray, then is racheted up several notches when creatures -- actually mutated descendants of Spaniards and Nazis -- begin attacking those hoping to learn the treasure's true secrets.
The game, from Sony Computer Entertainment, sold 1 million copies in the first 10 weeks of its release at the end of 2007
Ward, repped by CAA and Benderspink, is making a name for himself in the game-to-film world, having written "Kane & Lynch" for Lionsgate (Bruce Willis is attached to star) and getting hired to work on "Hitman 2" for 20th Century Fox.
The Arads, through their Arad Prods., are developing "Maximum Ride" set up at Columbia. The adaptation of the James Patterson book has Catherine Hardwicke attached to direct.
Roven and Gartner's Atlas Entertainment banner has the Nicolas Cage period horror pic "Season of the Witch" due out this year.
$50 Matthew McConaughy or Sam Worthington land the role.
Who should play Drake?

jup wäre dann wieder einer der besseren Indi-Ableger
Ich muss jedoch zugeben, dass gerade die aktuellen Spiele, die auf einem technisch so anspruchsvollen Level sind, locker jeden Kinoblockbuster wegstecken. Irgendwie hat die Action in einem Film nicht mehr ganz so die intensive Wirkung auf mich, wie selbige aus einem aktuellen Game.

Seh ich komplett anders, neue Spiele langweilen mich einfach nur noch und haben gerade durch ihre "realistische" Grafik und Effekte ihren Reiz verloren.Sir Jay hat geschrieben:Ich muss jedoch zugeben, dass gerade die aktuellen Spiele, die auf einem technisch so anspruchsvollen Level sind, locker jeden Kinoblockbuster wegstecken.

das hast du die falschen spiele gespielt ;)
also ein Resident Evil 4 schlägt in Sachen Action und Atmosphäre jeden Actionfilm.
Ich meine ich merke es selber, wie ich bei GUTEN Spielen stunden lang vor dem TV sitzen kann, bei Filmen habe ich irgendwie nicht mehr ganz so eine Geduldsspanne. Ich hocke da vor dem Game, schaue mir die cutscenes an, und will unbedingt wissen, was als nächstes passiert. Bei Filmen hatte ich das irgendwie schon lange nicht mehr. da müsste mal wieder was gutes her.
Games sind ja zum glück generell von bayschen Schnittorgien verschont. Dadurch, das alles aus der Totalen gezeigt wird, immer aus einer übersichtlichen Perspektive, ohne SChnitte ist das Actiongefühl einfach intensiver :)
deswegen mag ich in filmen ganz besonders die schnittlosen passagen, die eben auch wie eine art videospielablaufen, siehe in Hard Boiled, Revenge of the warrior oder (ja kein richtiger actionfilm) children of men.

He has a brilliant vision for this material and we know he will bring his original, unique voice to this adaptation."

Named IGN's Best Action Game and Best PS3 Game, "Uncharted: Drake's Fortune" sold one million copies in the first 10 weeks of its release at the end of 2007 on its way to moving more than 2.6 million copies and spawning a sequel.

Both games are among the all-time best-selling games for the platform.
The project will be overseen at Columbia Pictures by Tolmach and Jonathan Kadin. Thomas Dean Donnelly and Joshua Oppenheimer wrote the first draft of the screenplay.

Interview mit Wahlberg:
Quelle: mtv.comOn the subject of how the "Uncharted" movie is progressing, Wahlberg confirmed that David O. Russell has started writing. "David is one of the best writer/directors I've ever worked with," said Wahlberg. "The idea that he has is just insane. So hopefully we'll be making that movie this summer."
Recently there have been rumors that O. Russell was interested in casting Joe Pesci and Robert De Niro in the film, and Wahlberg confirmed those, as well. "That's who he wants to write the parts for. I talked to Pesci about it and I know David's people have talked to [Robert De Niro]."
And now for the juicy bit: How would Joe Pesci and Robert De Niro fit into the storyline?
"I'm obviously in whatever David wants to do but the idea of it is so off the charts: De Niro being my father, Pesci being my uncle. It's not going to be the watered-down version, that's for sure."
Quelle: comingsoon.netJoystiq has posted an interesting interview with "Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception" game director Justin Richmond, who denies that Uncharted: Drake's Fortune movie director David O. Russell previously said the adaptation would feature a "family dynamic."
Russell was quoted by the Los Angeles Times that the movie would expand from the game to include Nate Drake's extended family. "This idea really turns me on that there's a family that's a force to be reckoned with in the world of international art and antiquities... [a family] that deals with heads of state and heads of museums and metes out justice," he reportedly said, adding, "We'll have the family dynamic, which we've done in a couple of movies now... And then you take that and put it on the bigger, more muscular stage of an international action picture, but also put all the character stuff in it. That's a really cool idea to me."
Richmond, however, said Russell denied saying this: "First of all, all that stuff was denied by David O. Russell... He actually called us up and was like, 'I don't know what these guys are talking about.'"
We're not sure how the Los Angeles Times could have gotten direct quotes from Russell wrong, so we'll have to wait and see how this turns out.
Richmond also said that Mark Wahlberg is not confirmed for the role of Nathan Drake yet. It was believed that Wahlberg was set for the role and that Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci were in early talks for roles.
