The Uncharted way is to ape classic pulp action films. That works well in a videogame context, but moving it to the big screen would breed no more than Indiana Jones-lite (see; The Mummy, National Treasure). Adding more depth, bringing in the familial drama of The Fighter, whilst still making it a popcorn adventure romp sounds good to me.
Uncharted’s characters are fun, but none particularly inspired. Nathan Drake IS Malcolm Reynolds.
I don’t care what the story is, as long as the film is GOOD, and David O’ Russell (violent, pig-headed, misogynist, yes) could have crafted something GOOD.
Perhaps this will make way for an even better director, but I fear it won’t. I fear Sony will settle for a lesser candidate in order to rush the film out as soon as possible, whilst Uncharted’s iron is hot.
So that's MUBI, Lovefilm, Netflix, PSN Video, VUDU and Blu-Ray
Granted those are spread out over different regions but Sony really has turned the PS3 into equal parts gaming system equal parts video delivery system.

Kinect hacks: One-handed FPS control
Jan 18th 2011 2:55PM (Joystiq)I want to see experiences tailor made with the Kinect's strengths in mind, not existing games/genres with Kinect shoe-horned in.
