Joe Carnahan Reveals That He's Completed His Rewrite Of The UNCHARTED Movie Script
Joe Carnahan has taken to Instagram to reveal that he's finished work on the latest draft of Sony's Uncharted movie. However, he's not directing as the film is slated to be helmed by Shawn Levy.
Joe Carnahan (The A-Team, The Grey) is the latest in a long line of Hollywood creatives hired to work on Sony's live-action Uncharted movie. Though he's known as a writer/director, Carnahan is only working on the Uncharted script as the film will be helmed by Shawn Levy (Night at the Museum, This Is Where I Leave You).
Carnahan and Levy are but two of the latest names signing up for the project after creatives such as David O. Russell (American Hustle, Silver Linings Playbook), Neil Burger (Limitless, Divergent) and Seth Gordon (Horrible Bosses, upcoming Baywatch reboot) have all departed the project for various reasons.
The film has been in development since 2008 and the closest it ever came to actually filming was a few years back when Mark Wahlberg was attached to star. Wit the disappointing performances of Assassin's Creed and Warcraft, Sony has to at least feel a little nervous about moving forward with the pic. Likewise, Warner Bros. and MGM can't be pleased with box office return delivered by 2016's video game movies as they are knee-deep in development on a Tomb Raider reboot starring Alicia Vikander.
Still the pairing of Carnahan and Levy is an intriguing one and provides some optimism that Uncharted could finally be the film to crack the video game movie code.
