It
has been almost a year since any talk of an Uncharted adaptation to the big
screen was heard. Directors David O. Russell and Neil Burger were at one point
connected to the project but one after the other dropped out. Writing couple
Marianne and Cormac Wibberley (National Treasure) were also set to work on the
script, but apparently they weren’t the only ones the video game studio asked.
According to Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, Naughty Dog, the game studio asked them multiple times to adapt the game; “They’re constantly asking me and Evan to make the Uncharted movie,” told Rogen to IGN, and Goldberg added “For like four years now, they’ve been like ‘Make an Uncharted movie for us,’ but it’s just going to be Indiana Jones.”
Now
you would think that making an adaptation of a popular and good video game was
a good thing, but according with both Rogen and Goldberg it’s “a fucking
nightmare” and “We can’t make a really edgy fun movie for our types of
people for that amount of money. There’s just too much skepticism that it
draws. ‘Mo money, ‘mo problems. You can’t take risks, [the studio] wouldn’t let
us take risks anyway. And that makes it very hard to make a movie that’s
exciting.”
Let’s
make it clear that they haven’t gone crazy, it’s just that after Green Hornet,
which wasn’t neither a big success neither a good experience, judging from the previous comment, both of them seem
to want more creative control about the films they write, act and direct.
In
the meanwhile the Uncharted film seems to be lost in some jungle, never to be
found.
