Pitch for a HBO adaptation of “Uncharted” (you know, in case the movie franchise gets shelved and the execs want another Naughty Dog franchise after the success of “The Last of Us”):
1) Showrunner: Jonathan E. Steinberg (co-creator of Black Sails)
2) Brett Dalton as Nathan Drake
3) Teresa Palmer as Elena Fisher
4) Stephen Lang as Victor Sullivan (I know he did the live-action short, but he’s legitimately who I feel would be best in the role)
5) Pedro Pascal as Atoq Navarro
6) Mark Strong as Gabriel Roman
7) Bill Hader as Sam Drake (cameo appearance in season 1 in order to set the show up for the 4th game/season)
8) 9 episodes, same as “The Last of Us”

The Old Man (prod. Jonathan E. Steinberg & Robert Levine).
FX’s series adaptation of author Thomas Perry’s boilerplate thriller novel of the same name stars Jeff Bridges as the titular weary “old man” with a deadly skill set who’s called back into action against his wishes. How his chemistry with John Lithgow draws out as the pair playing CIA/FBI veterans with a shared political history as both allies and adversaries also carries the episodic drama expertly. There’s a simmering slow burn sense of tension and drama that wisely eschews twists in favour of deliberate reveals that feel so expertly executed. It shows us the human cost of a life of political conflict.

Christ! I know you can’t hear me, but I only did what you wanted me to. Christ! I’d sell out the nation, for I have been saddled with the murder of you.
JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR dir. Norman Jewison, 1973

I think where I understood him to be, I guess, both in the beginning and the end, but sort of within this story, was kind of as a guy who had run all but the last hundred yards of a marathon and could see the finish line and every step he took got exponentially harder, and it was just an onslaught of obstacles and traps and problems that were trying to prevent him from getting there, and the conceit that—when we started with a white board at the beginning in the season—was that he would figure out a way to get through every last one of them and have his nose on the endzone and it would be his best friend who was the one he couldn't get past.
— Jonathan Steinberg, showrunner of Black Sails, on James Flint

My final thoughts after seeing the whole first season of PJO:
I did not love this adaptation as a whole, I liked it. Occasionally, I more than liked it, and occasionally I did not like it. But I never hated it, so I am satisfied.
And don’t get upset or anything, because I would do anything to see at least 5 seasons of this show, if not all of PJO, HOO, and TOA. This story is so important to me, and I think that’s why I had trouble with some of the changes.
I’ve seen other people that say the show didn’t have the same spirit or tone as the book, and in some counts I really have to agree. The pacing was off in the show. I would have a hard time pointing to specific reasons why, but it just didn’t work for me most of the time. I also think we missed out on a lot of the humor, which is what makes me the most sad out of everything.
But I will NEVER attack children because of any of these errors, and I know that the subsequent seasons can only get better as Rick and Becky get better at working on a TV series, and as the whole PJO team gets more comfortable in their roles. If I know anything, I know Rick and Becky care about what the fan base thinks, so I have hope for future seasons being better than this first one.
Still though, the fact that we got this show at all makes me so emotional and I am so proud of the cast of kids that did their absolute best to bring these beloved characters to life. I’d die for our main trio 😂. I mean, THE PERCABETH MOMENTS!?!? Sally and Percy’s relationship?? Chef’s kiss. ❤️❤️
Even if I disagree with some of the decisions that were made in the writing of the show, I refuse to take it for granted. That is all.

Since “The Last of Us” TV show came about because Neil Druckmann met up with Craig Mazin due to his work on “Chernobyl”, I’m gonna need Neil to meet up with any of the following creators for a possible “Uncharted” TV adaptation:
1) Erik Oleson (Daredevil season 3)
2) Jonathan E. Steinberg (Black Sails)
3) Jed Whedon and Maurissa Tancharoen (Agents of SHIELD, Spartacus)
4) Jane Espenson (Warehouse 13)

Quote
We felt right from the start that we have to get this right for wildly different audiences. The goal is that if you’ve read these books 30 times and you want that experience, you’re going to get it. If you’ve never read the books and you don’t know who Percy Jackson is, we’re going to introduce him in a way that makes it feel like you want to be in this world too.
Jonathan E. Steinberg, Executive Producer of Percy Jackson and the Olympians, on the show. (x)
