UNCHARTED MOVIE IS ON THE WAY WITH BIG STARS ATTACHED

JOE PESCI AND ROBERT DE NIRO

It's hard to fathom seeing Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci reuniting on the silver screen based on a story from a popular videogame but it's looking like something which may become a reality. We know Sony and Columbia Pictures are moving forward with Uncharted: Drake's Fortune---an adaptation of the best-selling game---with Mark Wahlberg set to star and David O. Russell set to direct. And with both De Niro and Pesci in talks to join the production (not a done deal yet), helmer Russell sat down with the Los Angeles Times' 24 Frames to discuss where they're at in the development stage.

MARK WAHLBERG


Plot Concept: Based on the popular 2007 game from Sony, the story follows a descendant of explorer Sir Francis Drake, a treasure hunter named 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.
