Writer-director of Uncharted movie has quit the project
The Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune movie has taken a step back into development hell as David O. Russell, its writer-director, has bowed out.
Variety reports that Russell and Sony Pictures had an amicable split based on “creative differences.” Fans of the Uncharted games had more than a few creative differences with the adaptation, which would have had game hero Nathan Drake being part of a family of thieves.
Nathan Fillion is the voice of the Green Lantern

An Open Letter to Mark Wahlberg haters
As you no doubt have heard, Mark Wahlberg is attached to star in the upcoming film based on the Uncharted videogame franchise. After this news was confirmed, many of you have raised your virtual pitchforks in protest against Wahlberg playing the role of Nathan Drake.

I still must plead with you to listen to reason. Abandon your constant Twitter posts about who could play a better Nathan Drake and open your minds to the bigger picture.
