Uncharted film adaptation finally gets a firm release date

[Shawn Knight]

Bottom line: If the film sticks to the aforementioned launch date, it’ll go head to head with Steven Spielberg’s remake of West Side Story from Fox. Given how little we’ve heard about the plot and cast, however, a December 2020 launch date could be little more than wishful thinking.

Sony’s film adaptation of Uncharted finally has a firm release date. According to a recent tweet from box office analysis firm Exhibitor Relations Co., Uncharted is scheduled to hit theaters on December 18, 2020.

Details regarding the film’s plot are unknown at this time but according to Gizmodo, it “really just needs to be a modern version of Indiana Jones featuring Drake and a few close allies traveling to far off lands to find ancient treasure and solve some big, fascinating mystery.” Yeah, that’ll probably work, especially if you mix in plenty of rock climbing, action sequences and gunfights.

IMDb claims Tom Holland (Spider-Man) has been cast to play Nathan Drake. Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad, Malcolm in the Middle) is also rumored to be attached to the film although his role remains a mystery.

10 Cloverfield Lane director Dan Trachtenberg is leading the project and according to The Hollywood Reporter, Jonathan Rosenberg and Mark Walker are writing the screenplay. For what it’s worth, IMDb has Joe Carnahan and Rafe Judkins listed for the screenplay.

Bryan Cranston will prolly play Scully or whatever his name is...Drake's role model.

Tom is playing Drake? Isn't Drake like 30 something in the games? Holland is a freakin kid, which is why he's perfect for Spiderman.

I dont even think Tom can grow a beard.

The movie is supposed to be in Drake's earlier years. Apparently when he first meets Sully...

And Holland is in his early 20's. Though I'm not sure how well he'll fit the physique unless it's pretty early...

yea I was just told that the movie would be in his early yrs but that still puts him in his late 20s at least if you are following the games storyline.
It may work but I dont see it.

Google it. I just saw a picture. It had Holland with some scruff (and seemed to work).

I can't say that the first guy that comes to my mind has the physique, but I can't help but think of Nathan Fillion as Drake.

Cranston is too old for sully, especially when comparing to Tom Holland. Tom could get away with it, if it's early years and if done right, I'm assuming we will see drakes dumb brother too.
