Drake’s Fortune

Dean Donnelly and Joshua Oppenheimer have been given the keys to
Uncharted: Drake Fortune, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Columbia Pictures has tapped the screenwriting duo to pen the adaptation
of the video game. Uncharted follows a treasure hunter named
Nate Drake, a descendent of explorer Sir Francis Drake who believes he
has learned the whereabouts of El Dorado, the fabled South American
golden city, from a cursed golden statue. The search becomes competitive
when a rival hunter joins the fray, then is ratcheted up several notches
when creatures -- actually mutated descendants of Spaniards and Nazis --
begin attacking those hoping to learn the treasure's true secrets. The
game, from Sony Computer Entertainment, sold 1 million copies in the
first 10 weeks of its release at the end of 2007.
