Oh boy, it's time for the another Uncharted movie update! This time around, Deadline is reporting that Spider-Man Homecoming lead Tom Holland will be playing a young Nathan Drake in what will essentially be an origin story. Supposedly, the film will feature the first meeting between Nate and his mentor, Sully. Hmmmm.

We last heard about the now infamous Uncharted movie back in February of this year. News broke that Uncharted series developer Naughty Dog, rather unsurprisingly, had nothing to do with the production of the film. A script had been written, though, suggesting that the project had finally found some stable ground after years of cancellations and rewrites. However, if this latest report is to be believed, then even that script has been scrapped in favour of this newest iteration starring a younger Drake. Maybe that's a good thing after all the bickering that happened.

So, will this thing ever actually release? Well, nothing's set in stone at this point - and perhaps it never will be - but attaching an actor like Holland to the project at least makes us think that Sony Pictures is holding out hope. We guess we'll have to see how Holland's performance in the aforementioned Spider-Man film goes down.
