Uncharted

February 13, 2022

Uncharted is a 2022 action adventure film directed by Ruben Fleischer and screenplay by Rafe Judkins, Art Marcum, and Matt Holloway, with a story by Judkins. Serving as an origin story and prequel to the Uncharted videogame franchise created by Amy Hennig, the film stars Tom Holland as Nathan Drake, and Mark Wahlberg as his mentor Victor “Sully” Sullivan, along with Sophia Taylor Ali, Tati Gabrielle, and Antonio Banderas in supporting roles.

I’m a huge fan of the Uncharted games, and have always felt like they in many ways bridged the gap from the Tomb Raider franchise, which I grew up playing. They always felt similar with the style of play, and the immersive story and environments. Once it was announced they they were in talks to release a movie based on the games, I was pumped. They went back and forth with a number of actors rumored to take on the leading roles of Nathan Drake and Victor Sullivan, finally landing on Tom Holland and Mark Wahlberg, which needless to say, was fine by me.

Uncharted is scheduled to hit theaters and IMAX 3D on February 18th, courtesy of Sony Pictures Releasing. Watch the official trailers below.
