Another video game is getting the movie treatment. Hooray. This time it's UNCHARTED: DRAKE'S FORTUNE, a title I've never heard of. No surprise there though, because I'm not a gamer. Apparently, it's a big seller for Sony, having already spawned a sequel called AMONG THIEVES.

According to Latino Review, the film's screenplay is now in the hands of scribes Thomas Dean Donnelly and Joshua Oppenheimer, the writers behind SAHARA and A SOUND OF THUNDER. They've also been scribbling the new CONAN feature for Nu Image. Hey, god bless anybody who can make it out of A SOUND OF THUNDER alive, is what I always say...

Here's the deal with UNCHARTED: "Uncharted: Drake's Fortune" follows fortune hunter Nathan Drake, who is a descendant of explorer Sir Francis Drake. Believing he has learned the whereabouts of El Dorado, the fabled South American golden city, from a cursed golden statue, he embarks on a journey to find it. The search becomes competitive and dangerous when a rival hunter joins the fray and mutated creatures begin attacking those hoping to learn the treasure's true secrets.

I can dig on an old-school adventure like this (especially with mutated creatures in the mix) - just as long as it's more the first MUMMY and less, well, the other two MUMMY flicks... No director or cast has yet been announced, so stay tuned for more.

Spilled Blood: Doesn't hurt when the heroine is a scrumptious as THE MUMMY's Rachel Weisz.

CHRIS PINE FOR NATHAN DRAKE
Although Uncharted 1 is awesome, and Uncharted 2 is widely considered a "masterpiece" by pretty much everyone- i see no reason to make a movie based on it. its not going to be that awesome, just a indiana jones knock off- still though, they could come up with something better than Indy 4.

the reason these games are so amazing is how they make you feel as if you are playing a movie! i'm serious, do yourself a favor and play Uncharted 2: Among Theives, and you will have one of the most genuinely entertaining experiences of your lifetime- its THAT good! Not only does it look GORGEOUS with amazing graphics, but the voice acting is incredible, and the story is kick ass, and the gameplay feels like you've been given the control of the action hero in the biggest blockbuster in hollywood. There is so much to love about that game i couldn't tell you about it all in this post.
when all the articles about Modern Warfare 2 were being posted on here, i was a little bummed U2:AT wasn't getting the same attention, because its a much better game (not including the multiplayer). anyways,

i hope they cast Chris Pine in the lead role!
