Uncharted: Drake's Fortune movie!!!

Sony has officially announced with a press release that David O. Russell is set to write and direct an adaptation of the video game Uncharted: Drake's Fortune for Columbia Pictures. Avi Arad, Charles Roven, Ari Arad and Alex Gartner are producing the live-action action-adventure film that follows the adventures of treasure hunter Nathan Drake.

The action-filled story in the original Uncharted: Drake's Fortune (which now has a sequel) follows a descendant of explorer Sir Francis Drake, a treasure hunter named Nate Drake who believes he's learned the whereabouts of El Dorado, the fabled South American golden city, from a cursed golden statue. Oddly, Columbia's press release barely mentions a plot, so I think that Russell may blaze his own trail and come up with his own Indiana Jones-like historic adventure story for the film.
