'Drake's Fortune' set for big screen
http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/...37cd7d3035aef7
Columbia adapting the video game for feature film By Borys Kit June 25, 2009, 11:00 PM ET Columbia has found "Uncharted: Drake's Fortune." The studio is developing the action-adventure video game for a feature film, setting Kyle Ward to pen the adaptation that would be produced by Avi Arad, Charles Roven, Ari Arad and Alex Gartner. The story follows a descendent of explorer Sir Francis Drake, a treasure hunter named Nate Drake who believes he has learned the whereabouts of El Dorado, the fabled South American golden city, from a cursed golden statue. The search becomes competitive when a rival hunter joins the fray, then is racheted up several notches when creatures -- actually mutated descendants of Spaniards and Nazis -- begin attacking those hoping to learn the treasure's true secrets. The game, from Sony Computer Entertainment, sold 1 million copies in the first 10 weeks of its release at the end of 2007 Ward, repped by CAA and Benderspink, is making a name for himself in the game-to-film world, having written "Kane & Lynch" for Lionsgate (Bruce Willis is attached to star) and getting hired to work on "Hitman 2" for 20th Century Fox. The Arads, through their Arad Prods., are developing "Maximum Ride" set up at Columbia. The adaptation of the James Patterson book has Catherine Hardwicke attached to direct. Roven and Gartner's Atlas Entertainment banner has the Nicolas Cage period horror pic "Season of the Witch" due out this year.

Re: 'Drake's Fortune' set for big screen
I want my Jak and Daxter trilogy.
 This could be the first step toward it...from what I've ssen this game is kind of Indiana Jonesish. The mutated spaniards and nazis sound pretty cool

Re: 'Drake's Fortune' set for big screen
The story to the game is significantly better than Indiana Jones 4, so that's a good start

Re: 'Drake's Fortune' set for big screen
I have a feeling this will be a disaster. Nothing can live up to the game.

Re: 'Drake's Fortune' set for big screen
We shouldn't compare him to Indy, he's not Indy, Indy's an archaeologist, Nate is a money-grabbing everyman.

Re: 'Drake's Fortune' set for big screen
Nathan Dillion as Drake and Bruce Campbell as Sully are perfect choices!

Re: 'Drake's Fortune' set for big screen
Ive not played the game yet but if they went young Chris Pine seems like a solid shout for Drake from the trailers Ive seen.

 That's a great choice. I don't know how much of a chance there is of it, but I really like that idea

Re: 'Drake's Fortune' set for big screen
i take Nathan Fillion back now that i really think about it Chris Pine is perfect for this role.He looks enough like him he has the Charisma and the Youth/agility/ and training for Drake.

This movie will have a lot to live up to, not just from the game but from action/adventure/treasure movies in general. Getting Bruce Campbell in there would certainly be a good start though!  Also, I like Chris Pine as Nathan. Sounds good to me.
