Seemingly stuck in development forever, the film adaptation of the highly successful Uncharted series of video games has a new director attached, with Horrible Bosses helmer Seth Gordon taking up the reins following the departures of David O. Russell and Neil Burger.
Away from the big screen Gordon also directed 2007′s The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters, a documentary about video games and gamers. So hopefully he is aware of how easy it is to muck this up! With a distinct lack of action direction on his CV however, do fans have something to worry about? Sure Drake likes to crack a joke but the series isn’t known for being hilarious.
The script has been written by David Guggenheim, who previously wrote Safe House. No one is currently attached to star as Drake himself yet, with previous rumours suggesting Mark Wahlberg and perennial convention favourite Nathan Fillion. No release date has yet been confirmed.
