3. Ridley Scott
20th Century Fox Ridley Scott has branched out his film career into a variety of genres. His earlier visionary masterpieces such as Blade Runner (coincidentally also featuring Harrison Ford as the main character), Alien and swords and sandals epics such as Gladiator and Kingdom of Heaven indicate a director who clearly has the right to be considered for Uncharted. Scott productions always feature grand set designs and phenomenal artistic direction and he seems to make the sets intentionally suffocate his casts so they are caught up in a completely different world entirely while in production, and Uncharted would be a movie that requires precisely that sort of grand vision. Remember the desert city of Zucchabar in Gladiator? Remember the cold medieval French village at the start of Kingdom of Heaven? It is hard not to imagine Scott crafting something similarly breathtaking in Uncharted. The forest battle for Germania in Gladiator; the desert battles for Jerusalem and Kerak in Kingdom of Heaven, and the street fighting within the narrow alleys and rooftops of Mogadishu in Black Hawk Down, all prove that not only does Scott know how to shoot grandiose action scenes involving large sets, but he also knows how to make hugely engaging action sequences. The one reservation is the lack of humour in his movies, which might detract from a truly authentic portrayal of Nathan Drake.
