on the movie adaptation of popular video game _Uncharted:
Drake’s Fortune_.*
The director took the reins on the project when David O
Russell’s approach to the film was scrapped by the studio. Now,
Burger is “basically writing it from scratch”.
“We’re rewriting it,” the _Limitless_ director says,
“and I’m just jumping in right now to do it. The deal
really has just closed, so it’s very, very new. I’m
basically writing it from scratch.
“So, it’s a ways off, but it’s very exciting to have
something that could be a franchise. I like it, and I like that
it’s a bit different from a lot of the science fiction stuff
that’s out there. I like that it’s a classic, great
adventure.”
Burger also reveals that he thinks “the game has a really
cinematic quality to it”, and that he loves the character of
Nate (“I know guys like him”).
Most importantly, the director doesn’t feel intimated by the
failure of so many previous video game adaptations. “I just
think you have to make the best movie you can,” Burger argues.
“Something like _Indiana Jones_ was updating 1930′s
B-movies. In the same way, we’re inspired by the video game, but
we have to do what a movie does best.”
