‘Uncharted’ Film Now Headed Up By ‘Limitless’ Director Neil Burger.

I sighed a big sigh of relief when David O. Russel and his Marky Mark-powered film adaptation of Uncharted fell apart and went down the toilet. The man tapped to replace O. Russel and Funky Bunch is Neil Burger, who recently directed Limitless.

Daily Blam:

[It] is being reported that Neil Burger (Limitless) landed the Uncharted director’s chair “after the studio and producers Avi Arad, Ari Arad, Charles Roven and Alex Gartner sparked to his new take on the pic, which Sony will now move forward with.” Actors Mark Wahlberg and Robert De Niro have been rumored for roles in the upcoming film for several months now, though with Russell’s departure their futures with the project are unclear.

I’ll take it. Fuck, I’ll take anyone after we almost had Mark Wahlberg. If I had any advice for Burger, it would be two words: Nathan. Fillion.
