The film adaptation of the beloved Uncharted video game franchise has been postponed again. Where the release was initially planned for December 18 this year, it is now March 5, 2021. A reason for the delay is not given.
The delay may have to do with the messages that Travis Knight, the sixth director associated with the project, would leave due to planning difficulties. However, that has not been officially confirmed. Deadline is there certainly sure and sources from the film website also state that Ruben Fleischer is currently the biggest contender to take over. He was the director of Zombieland and Venom, among others.
Currently the plan is Tom Holland, known for the newest two live action Spider-Man films, taking on the role of a young Nathan Drake. His older companion Sully will be performed by Mark Wahlberg, known for films such as Ted and The Departed.
Sony has been trying to make an Uncharted film since around 2008, but that is obviously not going very well. It will be the first production of Sony PlayStation Productions, the studio set up in 2018 for the purpose of filming games.
