Sony has recruited Joe Carnahan to write the latest draft of the script for its adaptation of the popular video game “Uncharted.”
Carnahan, who is also an accomplished director and producer, told Variety that he’s unable to also helm, unless production is pushed back, due to schedule constraints. “Bad Boys 3” will be his next directing gig. Production on the sequel gears up early next year — after Will Smith wraps David Ayer’s “Bright.”
“In a perfect world I would love to do both, but right now, I’m only on board to write the script,” he said.
“Uncharted” is an action-adventure film based on the critically-acclaimed and top-selling PlayStation video game series, which follows the adventures of treasure hunter Nathan Drake.
Carnahan said entering the world of Nathan Drake is a dream come true.
“Archaeology today is in itself an antiquity, but that world has always fascinated me.
