After the recent departure of Travis Knight as the director of the upcoming Uncharted movie, Sony is reportedly rushing to find a new director in order to fast-track production before the next Spider-Man, according to sources cited by Deadline.

This is because the protagonist of both movies will be played by the same actor, Tom Holland. Deadline also goes on to speculate Ruben Fleischer might be in pole position to direct the Uncharted movie, which will also star Mark Wahlberg as Nathan Drake's long-time mentor and friend Victor 'Sully' Sullivan.
Fleischer already directed the two Zombieland movies and the recent Venom film for Sony. The latter in particular was a huge hit and now has a sequel inbound for an October 2020 launch window, though Venom 2 will be directed by Andy Serkis instead.

The Uncharted movie had a lengthy development phase, moving through several directors and screenwriters over the entire past decade.

Now, though, it should be set to be the first PlayStation Productions adaptation, with Asad Qizilbash and Carter Swan in the role of executive producers.

Sony Reportedly Eyeing Ruben Fleischer to Direct the Uncharted Movie

The latest rumors indicate that Ruben Fleischer, director of the two Zombieland movies and Venom, is being eyed for the Uncharted movie.

Sony... let it be, please, let it be. In the end, it will be trash, everybody knows that, even you.

Yeah at this point it reeks of ‘’well we invested so much time, energy and money into this already, might as well see it through’’, which is always the very best reason to continue and release a product

Mark Wahlberg as Nathan Drake's long-time mentor and friend Victor 'Sully' Sullivan

They aren't serious, right?

 

[Serengrad]

It’s not happening.

 

[JLMC469]

Indiana Jones is coming out next year.

There’s your UC movie.

 

[jonnyp]

Holland and Wahlberg make me physically sick.

 

[Yoboman]

How is Wahlberg attached to this movie as fucking old man Sully?

Directors keep walking away because they reside every Uncharted fan is going to crucify the casting

 

[Elder Legend]

Can someone explain to me what would the difference really be between the Uncharted game versus the Uncharted movie? The entire 4 games are already each 4 feature films. I fail to see the point...

Easy money, they can now put some press x messages in between the movie with pauzes and sell it as a video game also.

 

[Azelover]

It would make a great movie.

But then, we already have the Uncharted movie..or movies.

Spoiler

I'm just kidding

 

[kiphalfton]

Wasn't Tom Holland saying he didn't want Sony to get their hands on Spider-Man and to keep it in the MCU? Makes me think he doesn't have faith in Sony... yet is starring in this movie.

 

[Zannegan]

The worst thing about this news for me is that Andy Serkis is directing Venom 2. Not that the first one was spectacular or anything, but I had hopes for the sequel, and Serkis' direction has never been great. I like him as an actor (though he's over-exposed as Mo-cap Mcgee) but he's kind of like a lesser Zack Snyder in the director's chair.

 

[ElCasual]

This movie is more cursed than Anabelle

 

[Mattyp]

Why is the midget still staring for a 6'4 role.

 

[GHG]

Wait I'm confused, I thought the movies 1-4 were already available on the PS4?

 

[megamerican]

Indiana Jones is coming out next year.

There’s your UC movie.

I wonder which movie is more unlikely to happen at this point Uncharted, or Indy 5?

 

[Dhoulmagus2008]

They should give up on this

 

[zkorejo]

This is starting to become a meme. I'm calling it.. This movie will never be made.

Casting Tom Holland is a mistake. He doesn't fit the role at all partly because he is too slight of build... He just doesn't have the necessary physicality... But perhaps more importantly he lacks the rogueish charm needed to pull off Nathan Drake. I just don't understand this decision. I like Tom as Peter Parker/Spider Man but he just isn't a good choice for Uncharted. At this point it sounds like a disaster in the making. I think they need to let this die off for a couple years n hopefully recast the role after the next Gen uncharted launches on PS5.

 

[Memorabilia]

What is this? Some kinda promo test pilot short? Nathan Fillion is pretty much perfect. Sadly he is probably a bit too old at this point unless they want to start right out with him at near adventurer retirement age. But if they want to do a proper trilogy they'd have to pump em out pretty quick to avoid Fillion becoming borderline geriatric by the end...

It's a fan made short movie, although admittedly fairly costly one as such.

The thought process is very simple for Sony - Tom's currently a superstar so chances are non-Spidy films he'll start in will also become box office hits. Personally I have zero interest in seeing the film featuring young Drake, I already struggled to get past young Drake levels in the Uncharted games.

You’re right, Sony is being ageist, too (inform Reeeeeeera at once). We need more diversity, more breadth of character, like Nathan in his golden years. “Uncharted and the Lost Dentures”.

Tom Holland's Uncharted Movie Postponed Again by Sony

Another day, another new dose of bad news for the long in-development Uncharted feature film. Sony [...]

comicbook.com

 

[xrnzaaas]

They should keep postponing it for 30 years until Holland can finally play old Drake.

 

[Gavin Stevens]

Here’s an idea, delay it until you find somebody who understands nobody wants to see a younger drake, and start filming when you know for sure Bruce Campbell and Nathan Fillions diary’s are both clear.

Just a thought...

Tom Holland: Uncharted Movie Will Start Filming in 'Four Weeks' - IGN

At Disney Pixar's Onward World Premiere, Tom Holland confirmed that the upcoming Uncharted film will take inspiration from Uncharted 4: A Thief's End and will have a "global" scope.

Just let naughty dog make their own cg movie, since that’s what they are always focusing 90% of the effort on in cutscenes and motion capture.

 

[Ryu Kaiba]

The stories are passable for games but they shouldn't embarrass Naughty Dog by making them realize their writing is C tier at best.

Check this hater out.

 

[The Alien]

Supposedly this movie is like 4 weeks away from filming.

I like Holland, but think he is miscast here
Also, Fleischer is like director #4. Never a good sign.

Thia movie gonna suck (if it actually gets made).

That's a good director, but Tom Holland is too young to do Drake

So Drake went from 16 to 35 in a heart beat?

 

[Elder Legend]

I really don't understand the point of Uncharted as s film and The Last of Us as a HBO thing.

These "games" are already like fucking movies. So fucking dumb dude. Go on youtube and go type in Uncharted Movie and you'll have over 4 hours of cut scenes. Fuck this desperate money grabbing shit.

yes people that would watch uncharted the movie would totally be satisfied with watching youtube clips. Yes only people that like watching youtube clips are potential customers. What nonsense is this? I guess they should only make a bloodborne movie.

I don't know how this Uncharted movie project can go.

 

[Echelon]

A decade late. They should've cast Joe Flanigan back in 2008/2009 if they had any sense.

 

[TacosNSalsa]

My goodness..that fanmade movie , a bit rough around the edges, but Nathan Fillion would've been perfect for the role . Perhaps an older Drake like in 4. And Lang wasn't bad either
