‘Uncharted’ Casts Tom Holland And Gets A Rewrite . . . Again

Sony’s Uncharted movie has endured development hell, as is typical of a usual movie put out by the company today. Mostly because no one there knows what the hell they’re doing, nor do they care about understanding why a series is so beloved and popular. Production started in 2009 and has yet to solidly secure and keep writers and directors. It’s frankly amazing how they haven’t given up after 8 years of no progress. Now, it looks like development is finally moving forward, whether we want it to or not. Sony has announced that Spider-Man Homecoming‘s Tom Holland will be playing Nathan Drake in the newly rewritten Uncharted prequel.

A bit confusing, seeing as how a few months ago, the studio was teasing an R rated film based off the first game. Night at the Museum and Cheaper by the Dozen director Shawn Levy will direct the film, which will be about a young Nathan Drake meeting Victor Sullivan (think of the Uncharted 3 flashback, but extended to a 2 hour film). Sony seems to want the film out as fast as possible, yet they still have yet to hire a new writer. This can only end well, right? (Probably not). What do you think? Tell us in the comments below!
