While David O. Russell is out as the director of the Uncharted movie, Columbia Pictures may have already found a new man. Reports are that Neil Burger is in the final stages of making a deal to both write and direct the Uncharted movie.

Burger’s credits include The Lucky Ones, The Illusionist and the most recent Limitless. Russell was let go due to creative differences probably stemming from his infatuation with his own characters and not those originating in the games. While Mark Walhberg was set to star in the Uncharted film, that is now in doubt given that his long time collaborator Russell is no longer on board.
