RUMOR: Uncharted Movie in the Works – No Comment from Sony

A “source” has stated that a movie adaptation of Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune is currently being written. Being such a well received game it is not too surprising that Hollyweird might want to try and cash in on the popularity of it – but with the track record of videogame/movie tie-ins and movies based on popular video games usually being a pile of steamy horse manure – it makes me wonder how they are going to screw this one up -providing that this information is actually true and not just some silly rumor.

Supposedly though, this “well-placed source” has confirmed that the film rights to Naughty Dog’s game has been snatched up by Atlas Entertainment (Fallen, Three Kings), and when asked about the possibility of a movie starring Nathan Drake, Sony had no comment. Usually when “no comment” is given as an answer you can usually bet your auntie’s great big panties that what they really meant was “yes” but that they do not want to ruin the horrible surprise.

If this is indeed true, who do you think should play Nathan Drake? 1Up thinks it should be Hal Sparks, and if you do not agree with them then you are a monster. Well, call me a monster all you like, but I think that Josh Holloway (Sawyer) from Lost would make a great Nathan Drake. Yeah, sure he is blond, and sometimes resembles Kid Rock, but he could pull it off. He is smarmy enough, handsome enough, and could easily get away with the half-tuck any day of the week. Of course, I am sure I am in the minority on that suggestion.

We will be sure to let you know either way when more information becomes available. In the meantime, feel free to post your suggestions on who you think should star in it.
