'Uncharted' Movie Starts Filming Early 2015 Says Director Seth Gordon - Release Date Announced Soon?

We haven't heard much about the movie adaptation of Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, but this week director/producer Seth Gordon (Horrible Bosses) ended that streak. According to him, the Uncharted movie team "just got the script to a really good place" and that he is pretty sure that filming will start "very early next year."

"That's the plan," he told Zap2It in a new interview. "That's like tomorrow, essentially, because the prep is so complicated for the movie."

Fans of the video game series will be happy to know that Gordon's script is set up to honor the game, but it won't follow the franchise in every detail. Apparently the setting of the film will be "international," according to Gordon, who said it would take audiences "all over the world."

"It's going to honor the mythology of the game, but I would say honor some of the most interesting stuff from the first one and build from there," he explained. "There's some stuff that isn't in the game. I love the complexity and frankly the sophistication of the storytelling in the game, and we aspire to that - but don't want to tell the exact same story, of course - so something that doesn't break the rules of what it did but expands. Because I feel like the people who play the games and know them well don't want to just see the same story told. You want extra shades."
