Columbia say he’s a ”tremendous choice” for the film and Russell has a ”brilliant vision for this material”. It’s expected to release sometime in 2013.
Avi Arad, Charles Roven and Alex Gartner are producing the Uncharted movie. ”David is a tremendous choice to take on this film. He’s equally adept at combining all the classic elements involved in this property: great character development, strong comedy and amazing action sequences,” said Columbia’s Doug Belgrad and Matt Tolmach.
”He has a brilliant vision for this material and we know he will bring his original, unique voice to this adaptation.” Russell had been interested in the film back in May but then left for another project - Pride and Prejudice and Zombies - but now he’s back.
