Solid Snake

what? That doesn't make sense at all....

Drexl

Maybe he's confusing it with Mafia II.

Supermallet

What the hell?! Did IGN follow up the question with "What part of Uncharted are you talking about?"

Solid Snake

It's IGN....you're lucky they even asked a good question.

Michael Corvin

What. The. Fuck?

RocShemp

Were his pupils dilated when he gave such an clueless and idiotic answer?

PopcornBandit

Jensen Ackles as Drake and Powers Booth as Sully would be awesome.

Groucho

Based on those comments, I think that Uwe Boll would do a better job than this Russell.

Other choice quotes:

Maybe he's playing the Uncharted game from fringes other universe???

I heard David O. Russell was going to direct a Rock Band movie but he couldn't relate emotionly to the sci-fi action and never ending cut scenes.

Michael Corvin

I have to believe he's thinking of another game, there is no way he could be that ignorant to the property to which he is supposedly "adapting." I mean those quotes are too unbelievable.

TGM

Interviewer: So what made you want to be involved in an Uncharted movie?

David O. Russell: I just love the concept of going around eating dots and being chased by 4 multicolored ghosts... it really speaks to me.

Supermallet

Similarly, he was slated to do a Metal Gear Solid movie but was put off by the legions of casual gamers who would demand that its simple "connect three gems in a row" gameplay be scrupulously maintained in the film.

RichC2

Whatever. The movie will be fine as long as they don't modify Sly Cooper too much.

GenPion

I agree. He was my favorite character in the original game.

Groucho

Russell was going to reboot the Mario franchise a few years ago but it fell apart when he couldn't find the right actress to play Aeris. It's too bad, because the sets they built for medieval Acre looked fantastic, especially the moon base.

Solid Snake

So is Crash Bandicoot the bad guy or good guy in this?

mhg83

Will there be lots of rape in the movie? I always loved that part of the Uncharted games.

jaeufraser

I think a David O Russell action adv enture movie has great potential.

I'll just...have to put aside any expectations it'll have some relation to the video game. But being a horrible adaptation doesn't equal it being a bad movie. I mean...it may not resemble the game, but it'd still be better than anything Uwe Boll has done. Unless you value faithfulness to source material over like...good filmmaking.

RocShemp

Um, even if we completely ignore the game (which seems to be exactly what he's done) his concept is an utter piece of shit. It reminds me of how clueless Uwe Boll sounded when he commented about his idea for Metal Gear (in which he envisioned Solid, Liquid, and Big Boss as best buds who would hop around the globe saving the world).

Oh and I love the utter idiocy in this quote:

Funny, he seems to be working hard to make the gamers unhappy. And is showing a complete disregard for the game. Seriously, what the hell game is he playing that he thinks is called Uncharted? And the game is already plenty cinematic to the point that it feels like you're playing a damn movie. Is he just saying all this random bullshit as a grand-scale practical joke?

DRG

Sad thing is this isn't his first time doing this. His debut film was supposed to be an adaptation of Donkey Kong Jr. until Nintendo forced him to change the name to Spanking the Monkey because it no longer resembled the source material.

Drexl

It also probably ruins the chance of a proper Uncharted movie getting made by someone else later.

mhg83

Why cant the writer and creators of Uncharted games make their own film version after they're finished making the 3rd game? If they own the rights, cant they make it on their own and release it independently?
