UNCHARTED (2017): Joe Carnahan To Write Script

Uncharted Video Game
Joe Carnahan to serve as screenwriter for Uncharted. Sony Pictures has selected the Narc and The Grey scribe to contribute a script for it’s planned adaptation of the Naughty Dog video game.

In addition to his screenwriting duties, Carnahan has also apparently been offered the director’s chair for Uncharted. According to the movie scribe however, unless the production’s shooting schedule is pushed back, he will be unable to helm the picture as he is currently directing Bad Boys 3.

Sony will produce the film with the cooperation of Arad and Atlas Entertainment Production, with Charles Roven, Avi Arad, and Alex Gartner serving as producers on the project:

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. Especially when you go to a museum today and wonder how a piece got there to begin with,” he said. “Plus, the property itself is so popular that it was hard to turn down an opportunity to work on it.”

**** We hired Reggie, fulfilled our obligations to him, and he quit in the middle of covering two TV series w/ no notice and no explanation. He then ignored our emails asking him to complete his coverage (we had no one else to cover those TV shows). He didn't care. We regret hiring him and we regret putting our trust in him. **** An aspiring writer, longtime film junkie, and former UCLARadio.com disc jockey (where I graduated with a BA in Political Science), I've made the jump from penning book reviews and current events editorials for HonorSociety.org to writing movie and TV news and reviews. When I'm not working towards my certificate in Radio and Television/Video Production at Fullerton College, I enjoy reading (horror, science fiction, and historical/political nonfiction are particular favorites), participating in my school's TV and theatre clubs, attending movie screenings, plays, concerts, and other events, and trying to come up with pithy things to say on social media. Believe it or not, there are occasions where I find time to write for my own leisure.
