Uncharted rewrite in the works as film loses second director

The Uncharted film adaptation is going back to the drawing board in more ways than one.

Variety reports Marianne and Cormac Wibberley will be rewriting the script of ‘Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune.’ The two co-wrote Disney’s ‘National Treasure.’

The report adds Neil Burger is no longer onboard as director. The producers have decided to wait for the script rewrite to restart their search.

Burger wasn’t actually the first in line to direct. David O. Russell had previously been tapped for the gig before moving on.
