Naughty Dog, developer of action-adventure third-person shooter Uncharted, has asked Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg to write the script for the Uncharted movie, according to the duo.
In an interview with IGN for his latest movie, This Is The End, Canadian stand-up comedian, actor, producer, director, Seth Rogen said, “They’re constantly asking me and Evan to make the Uncharted movie.”
Evan Goldberg, Canadian film screenwriter and producer said, “They’ve been asked multiple times over the last four years, but have declined the job, despite being huge fans of the games, because they can’t think of the right treatment.
“It’s just going to be Indiana Jones,” If we could figure out a way to make it not Indiana Jones, it’d be awesome.”
The Uncharted movie has been in development since 2008, Columbia Pictures confirmed in 2009 that it will be produced by Avi Arad, Charles Roven and Alex Gartner.
In 2010, Columbia Pictures revealed by that David O. Russell will be writing and directing the film, but on May 26, 2011, Russell left the project.
And in July 2011, Neil Burger took up the position as the director for the film adaption, but dropped out in August 2012 to work on another film and the studio hired the Marianne and Cormac Wibberley (writers of National Treasure and Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle) to rewrite the film, that’s all we know for now.

I’m not sure how I feel about these two writing it, but then I’m going to be picky no matter who they pick. The Uncharted series is so dear and near to so many hearts, and it bothers me a little that they would compare it to Indiana Jones, but I do see the similarities. You can’t leave out the fact that Naughty Dog created such strong characters, that I think this is where creators of the movie need to be careful, and take their time developing who is going to play them. Even though I’m anxious about how the movie will turn out, I’m still more than excited to see it! When (not if) it happens.
Seth Rogan- NO! Look what that idiot did to the Green Hornet. And what’s wrong with being like Indiana Jones? Nathan Fillion as Nathan Drake!!
If this is a joke, it’s a really bad joke.
if you don’t want it to be like indiana Jones, you could use alot of the game script and scenes? or just use like uncharted 2, because thats definately not like indiana jones
The Last of Us movie then a Uncharted movie wood be way cooler
I disagree being that Uncharted already has told stories between 3 games… I really think it could be good just cast either Mark Wahlberg or Nathan as Drake.
It’s only right that Bradley Wilson plays Nathan Drake. He’s absolutely perfect for the role.
Uncharted does not need a film adaptation. The games themselves are already so cinematic, no film could contend with them. They should just stop trying to adapt video games into movies altogether, they are two different experiences.
EXACTLY
it will never loke like indiana jones because indiana jones its not uncharted because in uncharted there’s only a girlfriend and only a treasure from marco polo and indiana jones is always having a new partner in all hi’s movies and in uncharted u got sully, helena and chloe and drake always changing clothes and indiana jones is famous has the guy of the cowboy hat
That would be a fedora Starkiller Lord, not a cowboy hat…
Hooray! Another video game to put up onto Hollywood’s pedestal, have it moved to a stool with a dunce cap put on, then knock the legs out from underneath it, then have it on its knees begging for mercy to be put out of its misery before Hollywood lops off its arms, pisses on it, has a test crowd look at it, vomit on it in response, then wrap it up and deliver it to the viewing public as another fine video game-made-into-movie that looks like s*** and misses the mark completely with fans of the game series.
Here’s an idea–Hire a director who has played every game at the hardest difficulty, unlocked and found every treasure, and knows almost every line. Then make Naughtydog Pictures and have your crew make the movie themselves.
Please “NO LIVE ACTION”. Live action movies off video games always end up horrible. And where are you going to find actors who happens to look and sound like the characters? And for most part, without Nolan North, there wont be a Uncharted. That’s why they should just make a CG movie so that it wont be any different from the games. I mean, compare the Tekken live action movie with the Tekken CG movie
wow… it is hard to think about a script for uncharted that isnt going to be “another indiana jones”… maybe you guys just need to watch indiana all over again and think about interesting points that AREN’T on indiana and try to put on Uncharted… I dont know im just 17 tossing granades to see if i hit the box with a good idea
Maybe you just have to find out whats missing in Indiana Jones that could be in the Uncharted movies. I dont know. Or just forget about the Indiana jones and make the movie about Drakes next move, continue the game story.
good point
What about an animated movie? Final Fantasy: Spirits Within comes to mind. Look at how good the animation was and that was over a decade ago. Also, What’s wrong with Indiana Jones? The games are already so cinematic, you would think that following how the games feel would be the way to go.
Don’t make the movie. If you are having trouble keeping a director, writer, and producer it’s probably because they don’t want to be the ones to bring shame to a great having franchise. Let it go and make a new Uncharted game already!
How To Help??
No, no no! Why would they make a movie, sigh. Well I know why, people would just watch it. The games are already so good and cinematic, just make uncharted 4!
for real, just finished ucharted 3 and holy shit it was truely amazing! felt like a amazing movie from the beginning!
Yup!! They do not need to turn this into a film, it’s an amazing game series already and it redefined what gaming can be in my opinion. So many of those cinematic scenes where amazing. Full on action packed to the point where you sometimes don’t realise you have to start playing again lol. I’m glad you enjoyed 3. It was a great game but I think I might like 2 the best. Three did feel a little cut short and I did not like how much emphasis their was on melee but it was ok as you could still choose to use your guns :) – I later found out they where working on The Last of Us at the same time. Which I think affected Uncharted 3 slightly. Not majorly though as still a great game and much better than a lot of other games this gen!
just make a CG movie…at least NO LIVE ACTION
uncharted series is already like a 5 star adventure movie why spoil it like resident evil :
