So we knew at some point someone was going to try and remake indiana jones with a hip dude on it and slap Naughty dog's awesome franchise as its name. 
Then we found out who the screenwriter and people making the film were (and the fact that David russell produced anchorman is about the only saving grace there) 
 
 And of course we thought the final nail in the coffin was when our very own Marky Mark 'Max Payne' Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahberg was going to be playing nathan fil..i mean drake and that they had roles for drakes father and uncle already planned out in the storyline (remember how crucial those guys were in the games?!)
 
HOWEVER 
  
What would you say if I told you that the film was going to be based around the drake FAMILY and not just Nate - what if it was about , and i quote :- 
"   a family of globetrotting antique dealers." 
  
Yeah sounds good huh? Antique dealers are pretty rad! and globe trotting is something they do! 
 But thats not all they do!  
 
"  "This idea really turns me on that there's a family that's a force to be reckoned with in the world of international art and antiquities... [a family] that deals with heads of state and heads of museums and metes out justice," he said." 
 
Whooo boy! i sure can't wait for this one :/ 
 Seriously hollywood just stop doing shit like this and get back to trying to find replacements for Arnie and Stallone! i can not fathom why they are really planning to deviate this far form the source material - all i can think about now with these revelations is the blasted tomb raider movies, and by GOD we dont need anything in the vein of how those turned out!

Oh you mean like Indiana Jones 2, 3, and 4 had a family element? Or the Mummy movies, which in the best case scenario are about as good as an Uncharted movie could ever be? What a disaster that was. The hysteria over this is just kinda silly. Anyway I'll let you get back to it.

I'm fucking pissed.

They messed up as soon as Nathan Fillion wasn't hired. 
 
(Actually they probably messed up way before that but that is when you knew it wouldn't be what you want it to be.)

My guess is that whoever bought the rights to make a movie out of this couldn't come up with a good Drake story so they're putting out something simply with the Uncharted name attached to it.  I really didn't plan on watching the movie after the first press release, but fuck, I feel like my eyes are going to burn out of my skull if I even look at an advertisement for the movie.  

nathan fillion or gtfo of my life uncharted

Antique Dealers? It sounds like someone is trying to make bad parody of the films original idea.

so now it is ready to become the Antiques Roadshow: Mark Wahlburg ed

I don't even see why they would want to make a movie in the first place. The game itself already pretty cinematic, and had those awesome painted textures that made it really visually appealing but those probably won't translate into the movie. 
 
Also, I am not a huge fan of Nathan Fillion, or anything, but the dude looks, acts, and sounds like Drake (or vice versa, if you prefer). I mean, I respect Wahlberg. He shoots dudes and talks to animals. But the man does not seem a good Drake. 
 
also yea, that stuff about the family and the story sounds dumb. That being said though, ryanwho is right, the end of the story in Uncharted was pretty stupid.

MOVIE OPENS

 
got some ideas for improvements, 
 

• get this, Nathan Drake totally knows kung-fu!  
• Drake was also a black ops agent in his past. he doesn't like killing and wants to leave it in his past, but he can throw down with the best of him when he has to.     
• His sister comes along and all she talks about is make-up as well as whats in style. this leaves her at odds with Nathan but her can-do girl attitude gets them out of a lot of sticky situations.
• Chim-Chi, and adorable cross between teddy bear and monkey. this cute little guy with wide eyes leaves everyone smiling even in the most troubling times.
• Antiques Road Show PBS tie-in. 

" @OmegaPirate: I just don't get where people have these lofty standards for Uncharted 1. The whole endgame was dumb as hell. A movie loyal to the source material would have that ending and also be dumb as hell. It just seems like at this point some people are deadset on hating this movie no matter what and why should anyone listen to a person like that? "

"  "This idea really turns me on that there's a family that's a force to be reckoned with in the world of international art and antiquities... [a family] that deals with heads of state and heads of museums and metes out justice," he said."

I can see it already. In the sequel they'll have to deal with the Galactic Senate. "

Going to be so creepy if Chloe and Elena are now Nate's sisters... will also be kinda hawt.

You know, if I want something exactly like the Uncharted games, I'll play one of the games. I'm not expecting this movie to be any good, but things often need to be changed in order for things to be adapted.  
 
This makes me think of the Mario Bros. movie. People often complain about how they changed pretty much everything from the games but really, would you expect one of those Mario games to translate well into a movie? They went completely nuts with that, and came out with something that most people hate, but personally I love because it's so awesomely bad. 

I don't give a shit about this movie at all. I played Uncharted 2 and it was a great cinematic experience that I have no need to see something like this on the big screen, if I wanted to, I would just watch an Indiana Jones movie.

Why did they change the story? Like I don't understand why antique dealers are somehow edgier or cooler than Tomb Raiders. This isn't a 'we're going in a different direction' or 'updating the story', this is a 'we're making it worse for no reason'. I can't even comprehend how this mistake could have been made, unless, God forbid, they though Tomb Raiders were too criminal or something like that.
