to helm the big screen adaptation of video game _Uncharted:
Drake’s Fortune_.*
Director David O Russell (_The Fighter_) left the project earlier this
year over creative differences with Sony - he wanted to use the
game’s basic premise and create an entirely different story for
the film.
Now, Burger will both write and direct the film, with _Variety_
reporting that “producers Avi Arad, Ari Arad, Charles Roven and
Alex Gartner sparked to _[Burger's_] new take” on the concept.
Following adventurer Nathan Drake, the game of _Uncharted_ sees the
intrepid explorer seeking out the lost treasure of El Dorado. It's not
certain yet if the movie will follow the same storyline.
Fans of the game were up in arms when it was announced that Mark
Wahlberg would play Drake, arguing that cult favourite Nathan Fillion
was more suited to the role.
Time will tell if Burger agrees and ditches Wahlberg, or if he gives
his _Limitless_ buddy Bradley Cooper a call and offers him the role
instead.
