Nathan Drake meets Young Nathan Drake in first Uncharted Photo Feature Tom Holland and Nolan North
Nolan North, who is known as the voice of Nathan Drake in the Uncharted games, took to Instagram to reveal the first official photos from the set of Sony Pictures’ long-awaited film adaptation of the hit video game franchise. One of the photos also revealed that North was able to visit the film set which featured North together with Tom Holland, who will be the live-action films Nathan Drake. Check out the full Uncharted BTS photos below along with the first-look at Tom Holland As Nathan Drake as he sports a game accurate costume!
The Uncharted movie is actually happening. The Uncharted movie is actually happening? The Uncharted movie is actually happening.
After nearly 12 years of false starts, director swaps, and recastings, Sony Pictures’ live-action Uncharted movie is actually happening. To celebrate the occasion of filming, which is taking place under strict COVID-19 safety protocols, the original Nathan Drake stopped by the set to pass the torch to the new Nathan Drake, played by Spider-Man: Far From Home actor Tom Holland.
Joining Tom Holland and Mark Wahlberg are Academy Award-nominated actor Antonio Banderas (The Mask of Zorro, Pain and Glory), Grey’s Anatomy actress Sophia Ali and Chilling Adventures of Sabrina star Tati Gabrielle.
“Like looking into a mirror!” actor Nolan North, who voiced Drake in Naughty Dog’s original Uncharted games, tweeted on Thursday. “Proud to have @TomHolland1996 continuing the Drake legacy! Absolutely smashing it! Thanks for the set visit!!”
Here’s the full photo of North and Holland, as they likely discuss how hard North should wink at the camera when he inevitably makes a cameo in the film:
Two additional photos show props from the film, including a jeweled relic hanging out in the middle of a crypt, and a close-up shot of an open copy of The Life of Ferdinand Magellan, and the First Circumnavigation of the Globe, Francis Henry Hill Guillemard 1890 biography of the explorer. The book may hint at the movies eventual plot, which is not expected to be based on any of the games.
Uncharted, which — based on Holland’s Instagram — appears to be shooting outside of Valencia, Spain, at the small coastal town of XÃ bia, was scheduled to begin filming earlier this year, before the pandemic swept in and sent every Hollywood production into lockdown. Photos shared by Holland in July teased that production was gearing up, and now the film is finally underway after losing directors like David O. Russell, Neil Burger, Seth Gordon, Dan Trachtenberg, and Travis Knight along the way. This version of the film is helmed (for now) by Venom’s Ruben Fleischer.
Shortly after North's tweet, Holland posed on Instagram with her first look photographed in full Drake outfits.
Uncharted is an Arad/Atlas Entertainment Production, with Charles Roven, Avi Arad, Alex Gartner, and Ari Arad producing. The film will serve as the first feature produced by PlayStation Productions.
Despite previous drafts by the likes of Mark Boal (The Hurt Locker, Zero Dark Thirty), Oscar nominee David O. Russell, Doctor Strange‘s Thomas Dean Donnelly and Joshua Oppenheimer, Safe House‘s David Guggenheim, and Joe Carnahan, the new draft of the screenplay is written by Rafe Judkins, Art Marcum, and Matt Holloway.
Travis Knight became the sixth director to leave the project in its decade-long development cycle which began with Russell attached to direct followed by Neil Burger (Limitless), Seth Gordon (Baywatch), Shawn Levy (Free Guy), and Dan Trachtenberg (10 Cloverfield Lane).
Untouched, starring Holland, Mark Wahlberg, Antonio Banderas and Tati Gabrielle, is currently scheduled for release on July 16, 2021.
