There will be an Uncharted movie, and frankly, I think this is one of those games that translates well into a motion picture.  Of course everyone is wondering who will be cast as the lead character, Nathan Drake.  Well, Nathan Fillion seems to fit the bill, and he REALLY wants the part too!  He is encouraging a twitter campaign on this very subject.

Darn, Nathan Fillion will not be Nathan Drake in Uncharted the movie.  Instead it will be Marky Mark.  http://www.psxextreme.com/ps3-news/8163.html

Doesn't really seem like the same character to me.  If Wahlberg pulls it off, my estimation of his acting skills will go up.  Till now, though, he always seems to be a variation of the same guy.

Well he has two characters he plays.. the hot but sensitive (and usually tough) guy (see Date Night) or the mean jerk (see Fear).
I don't think he has the acting chops to pull off an Indiana Jones type character.. he comes across as too sensitive and that's not really what the Nathan Drake character is like...

Uncharted: The Movie will feature a family of treasure hunting, justice dealing, antiquities experts.  http://kotaku.com/#!5703567/the-uncharted-movie-doesnt-sound-like-uncharted-at-all  Imagine The Sopranos meets Indiana Jones.
That sounds nothing like the source material, from which this movie borrows its name.  Yet, somehow, the director claims he's "respectful to the core content and spirit of the game".  http://ca.kotaku.com/5766595/the-uncharted-movie-director-explains-the-method-to-his-madness  Interestingly, he admits he hasn't played the game.
It sounds to me like he's just using the license for advertising.  This movie could have just as easily been another The Mummy sequel.
I can understand not wanting to just make a live action version of the video game story.  After all, that story has been told.  Nathan Drake is the type of character that would have many stories.  But it doesn't sound like he's making another Nathan Drake story.  It sounds like he's made up his own characters and world and just reused some names from the game.  Seriously, this would be like making a Marvel licensed movie about Wolverine as a cowardly sheriff in the old west, with his plucky sidekick Galactus.
Actually..  I think I'd watch that movie.  "Wild West Wolverine"

Neil Burger is the new director for the Uncharted movie, and he said a very sensible thing:
Quoted Text
.. we’re beginning from scratch and going back to the videogame. Because there’s a lot of cool stuff, actually, from the videogame, if you know it...
