What Roles May Robert De Niro & Joe Pesci Play? On the subject of how the " Uncharted " movie is progressing, Wahlberg confirmed that David O. Russell has started writing. "David is one of the best writer/directors I've ever worked with," said Wahlberg. "The idea that he has is just insane. So hopefully we'll be making that movie this summer." News has slowly been surfacing about the forthcoming " Uncharted " movie, based on the hit PS3 franchise. The last confirmed information that we received was that David O. Russell , the director of movies like "Three Kings" and this year's "The Fighter," would be helming the project. The biggest question, however, has remained strictly in the realm of speculation: Who would be playing the hero, Nathan Drake? Recently there have been rumors that O. Russell was interested in casting Joe Pesci and Robert De Niro in the film, and Wahlberg confirmed those, as well.
