Uncharted Is Coming to the Big Screen

More racism...

The oppression will never end. -_-

Ehh... the game wasn't really racist, people just like to portray it as such because Drake was white and the game took place in south/central america. The main bad dude was a rich white guy. Sure he gets betrayed by his underpaid south american grunt worker, but even he is almost as white as drake himself. In fact, he's like a slightly darker version of drake with a spanish accent.

Besides, I'd imagine you get oppressed more for being a furry than for being a minority.

The story is actually a lot of fun, mostly because -- unlike so many other games -- the characters are well developed and well acted. This could absolutely make for a great, fun movie. Unless they don't cast Nathan Fillion. In which case a pox on all their houses. Or something.

Oh man! Nathan Fillion would make the BEST Drake ever. Let's all petition Columbia Pictures to get Nathan into that roll.

I don't care how bad it is, if they actually got Fillion to play Drake I'd see it at least three times. Also, what am I saying... Nothing with Nathan Fillion could ever possibly be bad.

Ho-ho-ho-hold your horses.

Isn't the story just some guy running around looking for treasures, encountering bad guys and shooting some people?

Indiana Jones has already done that, y'know, and National Treasure has already copied Indiana Jones, too..

But I could be wrong about the story, so please, correct me if I'm wrong.

You should probably you know... play ANY of the games you rip on, that way you wouldn't just come off like a 360 fanboy all the time.

"Isn't the story" and "I could be wrong, so please, correct me if I'm wrong." isn't obvious enough about that I'm just saying it from what I've heard? The game hasn't got enough good reviews to warrant a purchase from me, and I have no friends who own a PS3, and you pretty much can't rent games in Sweden.

I just don't understand this mentality that anytime treasure hunting is involved everyone suddenly assumes they're copying indiana jones. Does everyone think that Indiana Jones was the first story-line to ever revolve around treasure hunting? There were plenty of stories, long before Indiana Jones, which involved the search for treasure. It's a common story arc.

It's not Drake has a fedora or a whip or looks anything remotely like Harrison Ford. There aren't any nazis either.

Aren't superhero movies about a person discovering or developing superpowers, then using them to fight crime? Didn't Superman do that before all the others?

Its a genre, man.

In one display of sheer awesomeness, you have been awarded the "best person on the internet" and as a reward you revieve 2 internet cookies. They are waiting below.

The game is practically a movie, so I could see this working.

They can't really screw this up...well atleast they can't possibly get worse than the Transformers movie (May god have mercy on it's soul).

 

[SendMeNoodz84]

Yes it is coming to the big screen. Just like the Halo, Gears of War, God of War, and Grand Theft Auto movies that didn't make it through pre-production. Seriously I'm sick and tired of websites like IGN stating things like: "God of War movie coming!" when it's not even through pre-production.

Oh great well personally found the game a little bland and was confused why drake was American then again anybody with English accent has to be a bad guy. Also the director hasn't done anything of mention so no high hopes just hope when it reaches the UK its straight to DVD release.

I swear to..... did the lord of #@$% up movies after games Uwe Boll himself start a damn fashion?! The game was good, LET IT BE..... a cash milking movie adaptation is by no mean necessary! I would have expected better from naughty dog.... shame on you.... Crash is now spinning in his grave (he died a looooong time ago).

having read a book written by the game's writers (which I highly recomend for anyone interested in videogame writing and design) I'm not too supprized to hear this.

They talk about franchises, and that building concepts that good expansion and franchize potential. These guys are pragmatic, and perfectly okay with seeing thier project expand.

Here's a link to the book btw:

For those of you who call Drake's Fortune an Indiana Jones homage- you are correct. Now, I'll admit that I havent even played it- but the writers specificaly mention that the inspiration for story came from Jones.

That dosent mean it's uncreative, or that the movie will suck. Only time will tell.

I thought Nolan North could do if he grew some 5 o'clock shadow. You know 'cause he does Drake's voice.

When was the last time we had a good video game movie?
