The curse of bad videogame movies seems to have been broken with Sonic The Hedgehog this past weekend. The Uncharted movie is now next in line to take a swing at possibly doing some universe building like Marvel.
The PlayStation franchise that has sold over 41 million copies is getting its own movie starring Spider-Man’s Tom Holland. Drake’s actor Holland gave an update on the movie in a recent interview stating what viewers should expect.
Drake is About His History
Uncharted for the unfamiliar is a series about explorer (and somewhat thief) Nathan Drake going around finding lost treasures and civilizations. There’s guns, love interests, double-crosses, and all of those things you expect from an adventure flick.
The film has been in development for awhile going through many directors: David O Russel( American Hustle) Travis Knight(Bumblebee), among many others. Now, Ruben Fleischer (Zombieland, Venom) is rumored to head the project.
The Uncharted project is like there is a girl that is always single, and guys keep lining up only to walk away. However, there is one constant who has been there since the beginning, and that rock is Mark Wahlberg.
Wahlberg was originally meant to be Nathan Drake in earlier iterations of the film. Things have obviously changed as he now plays his old mentor Sully. This project has been in development so long that the “young” guy meant to represent Drake is old enough to play Sully. The Uncharted movie is scheduled to hit theatres on March 5th, 2021.
