Director David O. Russell has had a very on-and-off relationship with the film adaptation of Naughty Dog’s Uncharted series — in that he was once on the film, and then he was off of it. According to a report from The Hollywood Reporter, Russell has signed back on to the film as director, temporarily sidelining his other upcoming project, a film remake of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. Dude’s got taste when it comes to his choice of projects, we’ll give him that.

The report doesn’t mention whether or not Russell’s rejoining of the crew means the film will make its initial 2011 release window. Nor does it mention whether our heart’s wish will come true, and get Charlie Sheen to star as the series’ ill-tucked protagonist, Nathan Drake. Think about it! He’s perfect.
