Wibberley's Rewrite Drake's Fortune

"National Treasure" duo Marianne Wibberley and Cormac Wibberley have been hired to rewrite the script for the big-budget video game series adaptation "Uncharted: Drake's Fortune" says Variety.



Based on the first game in in the series, the story charts the journey of Nathan Drake, supposed descendant of the explorer Francis Drake, as he seeks the lost treasure of El Dorado with the help of journalist Elena Fisher and mentor Victor "Sully" Sullivan.

The likes of David O. Russell and more recently Neil Burger ("Limitless") were attached to direct, but that is no longer the case. Thomas Dean Donnelly and Joshua Oppenheimer were writing the pic for O Russell 

The studio is going to wait until the Wibberleys finish their script before settling on a new director.

Avi Arad, Ari Arad, Charles Roven and Alex Gartner remain attached to produce.
