Charting A New Course

Thomas Dean Donnelly and Joshua Oppenheimer are set to write the film adaptation of the hit PlayStation video game series Uncharted reports Latino Review



The film will be based on the first game in the series, Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, the story follows treasure hunter 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 ratcheted up several notches when creatures -- actually mutated descendants of Spaniards and Nazis -- begin attacking those hoping to learn the treasure's true secrets.

The first game was the most acclaimed 'launch title' for the platform. Its sequel, Among Thieves™, (pictured) was just released recently and is likely to make many 'Game of the Year' lists for '09.

Kyle Ward ("Hitman 2" ) was charged as the film's writer over the summer, but the deal apparently fell apart.
