Hennig talks Uncharted Movie with New York Magazine
Since the release of Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, gamers and critics alike (ourselves included) are praising almost every aspect of Naughty Dog’s third-person action adventure title – from its engrossing storyline and spectacularly well-written script, to the astounding visual presentation standards and compassionate, cared-about characters. And we’re not even scratching the surface.
If that wasn’t enough, Naughty Dog’s Creative Director Amy Hennig is continuing to excite followers of the Uncharted franchise by supplying the media with precious snippets of information concerning the future for Nathan Drake. Her comments in a recent interview with New York Magazine are particularly noteworthy; the production of an Uncharted film is underway:
NYM: Columbia Pictures is developing an Uncharted movie. Can you tell us anything about it?
AH: It’s definitely in the works, I can tell people. We’ve got the best possible partners we could in Columbia Pictures. If anybody’s got any fears of them not understanding the material or not loving it as much as we do, they can wipe those fears away, because these guys really get it. I can say from the meetings I’ve had with them so far, their hearts and their heads are absolutely in the right place.
Whatever next? Action figures? An animated television series? A Nathan Drake clothing range, perhaps? ’We want to explore new ideas regardless of what that idea might be associated with project-wise’, says Hennig. From that statement, we imagine the possibilities are endless.
Oh, we almost forgot; does anyone think we should recommend Paul Walker for the part of Drake?

Paul Walker? Ohmygoodgodno! Walker can’t act his way out of a paper bag. Plus the role requires a sense of humor (or humour, if you limey freaks insist). I think this should be the movie that makes Paul Rudd into an action hero.
Paul Rudd? As Nathan Drake?? This isn’t The 40 Year Virgin we’re talking about… I’d choose Walker over Rudd in a heartbeat.
Also, what’s with the limey freak comment? Unneeded…
Well we have motion Comic for this Now on PSN

“no news when this is coming for the UK store sorry guys”
@ odin:
Thanks for the update. Don’t worry; I’m sure there are many Brits out there with American Accounts…
If anything they should get a no named actor. Or a actor on the B or C list. I think gettin a high profile actor for this will be a bad move.
They need to talk to Nathan Fillion for this role. He would be *perfect*.
Whoever they get had better be in tip top shape. Just one of Drake’s jumps would kill most of us.
Gerard Butler hes the man for uncharted + he looks like drake
@ The_Bishop:
Nathan Fillion is an excellent suggestion! Bravo.
@Digital_Blasphemy
Too true mate, just thinking of doing a Drake jump would course us to crap our spines
gerard butler would be the best actor for Nathan Drake and it will make him a superstar.
Those movies could be the real big thing after Pirates of the caribbean boom.
