Sony’s long attempt to bring the beloved action-adventure game series Naughty Dog Uncharted to the big screen has finally, really, actually entered production given the project’s past with restart attempts and seemingly endless delays, you could be forgiven for not just taking Sony at its word that Ruben Fleischer – the latest in a long line of distressing directors attached to the project – had actually started doing the damn thing without any pictorial evidence
Well, good news: The original Nathan Drake himself has slipped in his most precious treasure, in the form of live footage confirming that yes, Uncharted is a film in progress
This morning actor Nolan North – who, alongside around seven billion other voiceover credits, has voiced and provided motion capture for Nathan Drake since his Playstation 3 debut – shared three new photos from a recent visit to the set , including one of him speaking to his cinematic replacement: Tom Holland, who will play the younger version of Drake in the vague prequel reboot setting of the franchise movie
The rest of the footage is more in line with what we might expect from the movie itself: ancient ruins and mystical artifacts, then some nice great books on classic explorers for the young Drake to lean over while hunting the ruins antiques and mystical artefacts The explorer in this particular image is not Francis Drake – who was a distant ancestor of Nate in the game series – squint hard enough and you’ll see the book is about the Portuguese explorer’s travels. 16th century Ferdinand Magellan He is famous for leading the expedition to the West Indies which ultimately ended with the first circumnavigation of Earth
It doesn’t tell us much about what to expect from the plot of the Uncharted movie other than the fact that it’s going to be very different from what we’ve seen in the games we already knew. , but it’s still nice to have a little clue on what to expect from this translation on the big screen
Update at 10:55 am EST Tom Holland also shared a new still from the film, giving us our first look at the actor in costume – as much as a loose henley and khakis can be a “costume” – as Nathan Canard
As for the casting of Uncharted star Nathan Drake for director Allan Ungar’s fan-film, there was…
Aww Just make the movie a sequel to the game, so we could have just launched Uncle Noly
