Director Neil Burger (Limitless) was set to helm the upcoming movie adaptation of Uncharted after David Russel (The Fighter) dropped out from the project. Well, it looks like he no longer will be doing this one and that the film will be getting a re-write. A re-write from the team behind National Treasure. We’ll see how that one works out.

Variety reports that the team of Marianne and Cormac Wibberley  have been hired by Sony Pictures to rewrite the movie adaptation of Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune. With Neil Burger’s departure from the project the studio will now reportedly look for a new director once this latest draft of the script has been completed.The story will follow Nathan Drake as he seeks the fabled lost treasure of El Dorado.
