Though it seemed that
the long-gestating live-action adaptation of Naughty Dog's Uncharted videogame
series was finally moving forward with a new director, it just took yet another step-backwards.
After a little game
of musical chairs with directors David O. Russell, and Neil Burger, Sony Pictures
finally managed in early 2014 to lock Horrible Bosses and The King Kong
director Seth Gordon to helm the game adaptation with Zero Dark Thirty scribe
Mark Boal set to re-write the script. A release date was set, a logo was even
unveiled, but it seems it was all for nothing.
According to The
Wrap, Gordon has left the problematic adaptation. No reason was given for the
departure but it seems that Sony's very budget conscientious head, Tom Rothman,
is pushing the project in a new "creative direction", which I'm
assuming means budget cuts.
Uncharted is an
action-adventure game that follows the Indiana Jones type character Nathan
Drake in his hunt for mythical cities such as El Dorado, and Shangri-La and the
treasures contained within them while fighting hordes of baddies.
