No, Russel... I don't have to trust you. You, as a writer/director seem to think that a game, based on action movies, and written like an action movie needs to be changed to be more movie like. Are you kidding me? I mean yeah, the parts in the Uncharted games with the supernatural things was kinda silly... but honestly, a family that polices the trade of antiquities sounds even more ridiculous than that. Also, they already made that movie, in fact they made two. Two! The world doesn't need another one. Stop changing the characters and their motivations for no reason.
What the hell? What is it with hollywood tha the second they get a great video game, they have to do the one thing we BEG them not to, and that is, CHANGE THE STORY! What the hell is wrong with you? If they made an episod 7 of Star Wars where Leia and Luke turned out werent brother and sister- and they hooked up, how do you think fans of the series would react? This is the same BS they pulled with the Bioshock movie, wanting to take out the Little sisters and big daddies because they would cost more to make. When will hollywood learn that you wont make a good video game movie, until you follow the story?
Remind me again why people keep feeling the need to make movies out of video games? It's not like they're books, where a film or television adaptation would help a book reach a whole new audience that maybe doesn't like to read. You know who goes to watch video game movies? People who played the video game, and are subsequently pissed off by all the changes that were made to it, or how otherwise crappy it is compared to the original game. Why? Because video games are already an audio-visual medium that is within itself complete, which means that making a movie adaptation (another audio-visual medium) of one brings absolutely nothing to the table. The only form of video game movie that makes any kind of sense to me has these (and all of these) qualities:
1. Has to be a CG movie, and if the game had good graphics, made in a similar style.
2. Has to be written and directed by people who were involved in the making of the original game.
3. Cannot simply be a rehash of a story that was already told in the game. Therefore, remakes are unacceptable. Only sequels, prequels, and inter-quels (if that's a word) are allowed.
