V: David O. Russell leaves 'Uncharted: Drake's Fortune' May 26, 13:01
I think that's good news for fans! {nm} May 26, 13:14
His fans or the game's fans? Because this would have been the first time a real auteur took a shot at a video game film. May 26, 13:19
An auteur who sounded like he had never even played the game before. {nm} May 26, 13:20
Game's fans. His ideas had nothing to do with the actual game. {nm} May 26, 13:22
And this is a problem because...? May 26, 15:33
Because if you bastardize the film beyond reconition, you will lose the built in fanbase. {nm} May 26, 15:37
Yes, there are probably many book adaptations that sucked as that succeeded, so what. {nm} May 26, 17:24
Was there a fanbase for that? The videogame movies that've suceeded are those that its fans considered respectful May 26, 17:53
No one has EVER bought a video game for the story. It can be a bonus, but it is NEVER the deciding factor. May 26, 17:07
*correction* A video game has never been SUCCESSFUL because of the story. They live and die by gameplay. {nm} May 26, 17:08
Eh, fair enough. But Uncharted could never turn a profit by appealing to the game's fans. May 26, 17:30
I wonder if Mark Wahlberg will also leave the project. Alot of fans wanted to see Nathan Fillion. {nm} May 26, 13:33
