drakesfortuneProducer Ari Arad says Uncharted 2 "raised the bar" on scriptwriting efforts.
Work on the script for the upcoming Uncharted movie went into overdrive after the release of Uncharted 2 "raised the bar," according to the film's producer. In an interview published in the June 2010 issue of GamePro, producer Ari Arad expressed that the filmmakers are feeling pressure to make a better movie after Naughty Dog "threw the gauntlet down" by making Among Thieves "such a masterpiece."
"Now, we're not only feeling tremendous pressure to get the movie made, but it now has to live up to the awesomeness of Uncharted 2, which truly raised the bar for the franchise," said Arad. "You just don't want to start filming a movie like this until everything is right."
Arad said that the film will follow the storyline of the games closely, but will provide more focus on "crafting good dialogue and allowing our characters to come to life onscreen." Uncharted's script is being written by Thomas Dean Donnelly and Joshua Oppenheimer (Sahara, A Sound of Thunder, Dylan Dog: Dead of Night). A director has not officially been attached yet, but recent rumors point to David O. Russell.
