Sony will begin filming the Uncharted movie in early 2015, according to director Seth Gordon.
The movie has been in development since 2008, but Gordon said it has recently taken off. The team "just got the script to a really good place", he told entertainment site Zap2It.
Gordon, who previously directed The King of Kong, Horrible Bosses, and Identity Thief, is the third director attached to the adaptation.
David O. Russell quit the project in 2011, with insiders citing 'creative differences' as the cause of his departure.
Following O. Russell's exit it was announced Limitless director Neil Burger was to write and direct the movie, but he left the project in August 2012 for undisclosed reasons.
Mark Wahlberg was to play Nathan Drake in the film, but Gordon confirmed that Wahlberg is no longer part of the production and he is looking for a new lead.
"I want it to be a great actor," Gordon says. "That's number one, and then if it's someone who has an actual jaw, that's even better. The game is so well done that you need it to live up to that. There's no way we'd do the inverse of that where it's somebody famous who can't [act]."
Gordon said the film will take some of the "the most interesting stuff from the first [game] and build from there". The movie will have a "very international" setting, he added.
PS4-only Uncharted 4: A Thief's End was announced for release in 2015at Sony's E3 press conference in June.
The title stars an older Nathan Drake who has been out of the game for several years. Forced back into the world of thieves, he sets out on a globetrotting adventure in pursuit of a historical conspiracy behind a fabled pirate treasure.
