Mark Wahlberg didn't sound particularly jazzed to see Optimus Prime in the original trailer for Transformers: Age of Extinction. Lucky for us, the folks at Fox's ADHD have figured out how the movie will probably go down (fictional spoilers ahead):
Director David O. Russell dropped out of Uncharted. He's taking his goofy-sounding script and Mark Wahlberg with him.
In the Uncharted movie, Mark Wahlberg will be hero Nathan Drake. Fans, however, had a different actor in mind and even made awkward pleas for their choice.

The popular choice for the role of Uncharted's Nathan Drake keeps things classy on Twitter, weighing in on the unexpected casting of Mark Wahlberg as the charismatic, half-tucked treasure hunter in the big screen adaptation.

The Uncharted movie sure sounds rotten. David O. Russell directing Mark Wahlberg and a family of archaeologists? Stupid! Good thing the game's developer is saying the Hollywood actor's claims just aren't true. Well, sorta.

At a recent screening for The Fighter, an Uncharted fan approaches David O. Russell to tell the filmmaker just why actor Nathan Fillion is perfect for the flick. This gamer's played all the Uncharted games — all two of them! Awkwardness ensues.

Meet David O. Russell. Director of war drama Three Kings and comedy Flirting With Disaster. He's a pro at making interesting films. He's also a pro at pissing off actors. Sounds like just the guy to helm the Uncharted movie!
