Once upon a time, David O'Russell (Three Kings) was down to direct the Uncharted movie. Then he was off. Then back on. Then off, with Neil Burger taking over.
Now Burger is gone. And writing pair Marianne and Cormac Wibberley are reworking the script. The film's producer, Avi Arad, will wait until they're done to appoint the project's third director.

DISCUSSION
Will never be made, and if it does get made it will be a disaster. In fact, video games are not meant for film, even if the story is good. That won't stop Hollywood though, even if the project goes through hell.
