    Um, whoa. David O. Russell will write and direct this film.

    His action scenes in Three Kings were pretty darn good.

    I have to agree with Duke - this role seems tailor-made for Nathan Fillion.

    Then again, I love the guy so much, there are few roles I wouldn't watch him in.

    This is fabulous news. More and more classy directors are lining up to helm game adaptations these days and it won't be too long now before the first great one turns up. Then Hollywood will analyze to see how it was done, what was omitted, what was embellished, expanded upon and suddenly there'll be a blueprint for how to do them justice.

    I'd usually be wary of this, but with him signing on to write as well? Hmm... Perhaps this one will actually stick.

    I know nothing of Uncharted, but I hear it's a must play.

    Won't be surprised when Mark Wahlberg is cast as the star.

    I have a feeling if Spielberg does indeed tackle "Halo", that could end up being quite a movie.

    For what it's worth, Fillion wants the role pretty badly.

    I love Fillion, but I don't think he's right for the part. He's too much goofball, not enough badass. Wahlberg isn't right either though, for the opposite reason.

    I always thought Nathan Drake as a goofball when playing the game. He doesn't really come off as this ultimate badass.
    Sure why not?

    STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI (Rian Johnson) - 9
    STRONGER (David Gordon Green) - 6
    THE DISASTER ARTIST (James Franco) - 7
    THE FLORIDA PROJECT (Sean Baker) - 9
    LADY BIRD (Greta Gerwig) - 8

    I don't think that's an incorrect interpretation. Isn't he supposed to be a goofball?

    I've never heard anyone describe him as a badass.

    The characters like clearly modeled on Fillion, so is weird someone would say he wasn't right for the part.

    He should have gotten Green Lantern, thereby leaving Reynolds as The Flash which he is much more suited to.

    I work in grocery. I have not gotten sick. My fellow employees have not gotten sick. If the virus were even remotely as contagious as its being presented as, why haven’t entire store staffs who come into contact with hundreds of people per day, thousands per week, all falling ill in mass nationwide?

    Fillion would be cool methinks, but how does anyone feel about Timothy Olyphant?

    Some possible news:

    http://movies.ign.com/articles/113/1134031p1.html

    Wahlberg might play Drake. And Russell wants Pesci and De Niro to reunite in his adaptation.

    How spectacularly odd. Ain't got nuttin' against the Berg, but I'd rather see another actor. I guess De Niro looks like Sully:

    Please don't let it be Wahlberg. Or Olyphant. They've already had one shot each and we all know how that turned out.

    We all know it should be Channing Tatum.
    Quote Quoting Donald Glover
    I was actually just reading about Matt Damon and he’s like, ‘There’s a culture of outrage.’ I’m like, ‘Well, they have a reason to be outraged.’ I think it’s a lot of dudes just being scared. They’re like, ‘What if I did something and I didn’t realize it?’ I’m like, ‘Deal with it.’
