There have been quite a few rumours and confirmations concerning the reality of an ‘Uncharted’ movie appearing at some point in the future, and naturally gamers everywhere would welcome a ‘big screen’ adaptation of one of the greatest games ever released – the series’ unique action, settings, adventure and story-focussed approach would no doubt make a perfect transition.

That’s why writer/director David O. Russell (Three Kings, The Fighter) has been tasked with bringing such an exciting project to life, but because the adventures of Uncharted are so character-centric, any potential movie would need to cast the ideal actors to truly do justice to franchise protagonist Nathan Drake, as well as all of his frenemies.

In an interview with MTV, it’s been revealed that none other than Mark Wahlberg has been cast in the starring role (i.e. Nathan Drake), and that Joe Pesci and Robert De Niro are also in talks to play parts.

Speaking about David O. Russell and his involvement in the Uncharted film, Wahlberg said:

“David is one of the best writer/directors I’ve ever worked with,” said Wahlberg. “The idea that he has is just insane. So hopefully we’ll be making that movie this summer.”
