Rumortoid: Uncharted heading to the silver screen?

So why mess with it? Why not just leave it be and have people admire and respect it for the piece of art that it already is? Will a movie version really make it any better?

Why? Because someone figures that he or she can make money off of it. Heck, look at how well movies like Sahara and National Treasure I & II did in the theaters. How could this not make money for them?

@loki d20

National Treasure had a sequel? I thought it just came out. wtf

My vote goes to Judi Denceh

Uncharted pretty much WAS a movie (and a great one at that), I really don't see the point, other than monies. I guess with the right actors, and if they do the story justice, it could be ok.

lol @ linuxguy

Who uttered Tom Cruise's name?!!!

Bad Chad! Now go sit in the corner and just you think about what you've done!

I'd be happy with Nathan Fillion or Ryan Reynolds in the role.

Yup. Nathan Fillion pretty much IS Drake. That said, this is the type of game that can easily be translated into a good pulp action romp, so I say sure, why not? I think it had a great story and if it brings the game more recognition, then awesome! The game is criminally under appreciated...

Umm, a new Indiana Jones movie is already being released..

Confused.

I agree that this doesn't need to be made. But I'm not surprised. Hollywood is all about 'packages', and they're more likely to get movies funded if there's a 'built-in audience', hence the daily remake announcements that seem to be all the rage lately.

See, unless you have a star attached who likes the script for some reason (and that usually takes a very well-placed and powerful agent), the only way you can get a movie made with a big enough budget is if you can go to the guys with money, who have no idea what a creative person is usually talking about, and tell them: 'see? you're guaranteed at least 20 million because the game sold x number of copies!', etc.

They won't make the movie to honor the game, they'll make it because it's a safe investment. Then the filmmakers will say up and down how they're being 'true to the origins' of the original, etc., because if they didn't, they're undercutting that in-born audience they've just sold to the investors.

That's how the Entertainment Industry works, might as well get used to it. Until we can figure out a way to invert the process and have the creative types controlling the money as they see fit, we will always be stuck with this system.

The obvious choice would be Tim Henman. He's the spit of Drake.

Both shit as well.

Christian Bale

i think it could be a good movie, something like a current day indiana jones... and I love indy!

NATHAN FILLION

As I was telling Rev yesterday, Fillion could pretty much just play the part of Mal from Firefly/Serenity, and it’d apply to Uncharted just fine.

I agree that it was one of the best cinematic moments that I have played or watched, but based on that Companies track record they may make a good movie.

Does this mean that Video Games are the new books? You know how everyone says, "oh the book was way better", since there has yet to be a great video game movie and no one really is reading books.....
