David O. Russell is going to be the writer/director behind the film, and Wahlberg speaks highly of him, “David is one of the best writer/directors I’ve ever worked with. The idea that he has is just insane. So hopefully we’ll be making that movie this summer.”
Joe Pesci and Robert De Niro are also apparently being courted for the film, who according to Wahlberg would play Drake’s Uncle and Father respectively. Odd, I don’t remember there being a Father and Uncle in the Uncharted games?
Whilst it’s generally bad form to ‘take sides’… eh, sod it. We wanted Nathan Fillion too! Boooo!
