Seth Gordon May Recover "Drake's Fortune" For Sony

Seth Gordon ("Horrible Bosses," "The King of Kong") is in talks to direct the live-action, big-budget video game series film adaptation "Uncharted: Drake's Fortune" says Deadline


Based on the first game in in the Naughty Dog 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.

"Safe House" writer David Guggenheim penned the most recent draft of the script, a good enough one that Sony Pictures immediately hired him to write the action sequel Bad Boys 3. Thomas Dean Donnelly and Joshua Oppenheimer as well as "National Treasure" duo Marianne Wibberley and Cormac Wibberley have all worked on the script at some point in time. The likes of David O. Russell and more recently Neil Burger ("Limitless") were attached to direct the project at various points along the way here.

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

Sony Pictures is adamant about moving forward though and hopes to begin filming later this year.

Gordon has other commitments before that though, like the remake of the 1983 classic "WarGames" due to begin production in June.
