Going Into New Territory

First Gerard Butler got himself a nice would-be blockbuster comic-book adaptation, and now Mark Wahlberg is getting himself a nice would-be blockbuster videogame adaptation to call his own.

While doing press for his upcoming awards-bait-y The Fighter, the actor hinted rather strongly that he will play treasure-hunter Nathan Drake in David O. Russell’s planned take on Uncharted, the PS3 series.

And – get this – he also suggested that Russell is courting Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci to play Drake’s father and uncle, respectively.

If this hits, it will be the artist f.n.a. Marky Mark’s first franchise.
