Yes, Sony and their open-door policy regarding my personal information and credit card numbers has been irritating me a bit of late. But at least for the moment they went from goat to hero for this old gamer when I heard that they had, in essence, fired the idiot director David Russell from making the upcoming Uncharted movie - which apparently is no longer upcoming, at least for now.
From the article in yesterday's Variety:
"A pair of tentpole-sized studio projects have lost their helmers, as David O. Russell exited "Uncharted: Drake's Fortune" over creative differences with Sony".
Word is that Sony is now searching for a new writer/director for the movie and the casting is starting from scratch. I don't even care anymore whether or not it's Fillion playing Drake. I'm just glad they are restarting to try and hopefully stay a little closer to the storyline instead of Russel's opium-fueled vision of a globetrotting family of treasure protectors - or whatever the hell it was. And of course, the big win here for mankind at large, is that there is just a little bit less of Marky Mark Wahlberg in the movies. I think everyone can agree with me, even Mark himself because I have to believe he is filled with self-loathing, that less Marky is good for everybody.
So thank you Sony. I salute you. Now seriously, stop giving away my credit card numbers.
