The creators of the Uncharted videogames have expressed their excitement about the movie adaptation of the series that is currently in development.
Richard Lemarchand, of the acclaimed studio Naughty Dog, told Eurogamer that the team has been 'impressed' with the commitment shown by the film's producers to doing justice to the classic PlayStation 3 titles.
With former director David O Russell having left the project, filmmaker Neil Burger - who directed this year's box-office hit Limitless - has now been tasked with bringing the globe-trotting adventures of treasure hunter Nathan Drake to life.
Mr Lemarchand said Burger's appointment was a 'very good sign', adding that an authentic action movie feel has always been a central part of the Uncharted experience.
'We had to study on the techniques of cinema very diligently to be able to make these games ... I remain excited about the future of the Uncharted feature film,' he added.
The series' latest instalment, Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception, will be released on PlayStation 3 this November, while a spinoff title called Uncharted: Golden Abyss is also in the works for PlayStation Vita.
