Sony Pictures Entertainment has been developing an Uncharted film as well as other films based around other interactive properties for some years now. One of the issues that Sony has had trouble with however is landing and keeping a director to helm the film.
The film’s first director David O’ Russell who directed The Fighter left the film in 2011. Its second director Shawn Levy who directed Real Steel and episodes of Stranger Things left the project back in 2018. Since then Sony has found a suitor for Uncharted with 10 Cloverfield Lane director Dan Trachtenberg.
It’s hard to ignore the star power that Spider-Man: Far From Home star Tom Holland brings to the project. Since his introduction as the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man in Captain America: Civil War, Tom Holland has become sort of a household name. Having Uncharted focus on a younger Nathan Drake will help the film appeal to a more general audience as well as hopefully bring along fans of the web-slinger out the theaters.
