Filming on the long, long, long rumoured Uncharted movie sounds like it’s almost about to get underway, which may be unfortunate news for fans of Allan Ungar’s recent fan film. As previously rumoured, it sounds like British actor Tom Holland has locked down the role of Nathan Drake – although the Spider-Man star will play a younger version of the iconic adventurer.
“The closest to the starting line is Uncharted in that it's a massive title,” director Shawn Levy told The Playlist of his upcoming schedule. “We now have a very good script and we have our star in Tom Holland. That is now subject to schedule and additional casting. But I would say as of right now, that seems to be the most near [the] horizon. And it's a movie I'm very excited about.”
We’ve been following this movie long enough to know that it could all still collapse at the last minute, but it sounds like this is the closest it's ever been to actually getting made. In some ways, focusing on a younger Drake may be a better idea, as it will allow the film to distance itself from the games a little bit. And to be fair, Holland is a big name that will guarantee an audience.

Told you it would happen with Tom
There's hope for an older Drake movie with Nathan in the future !!
"Sully...I don't feel so good"
@AFCC have him age with the movies if they make a trilogy
I like the actor and the game and the idea of the movie but I just cant' get excited for "Young Nathan Drake". It's not even "Uncharted" if they go that young as far as I'm concerned, it's only "Uncharted" when he's going places that are off the charts. If it's just about him playing a young Drake I might as well just watch the live action "Aladdin" instead.
Or, you know, Spiderman movies.
Unless they want Holland to pull off Drake the age he is in Uncharted 2. But I don't think he can do that.
Regardless if it’s a good movie or not, I reckon Tom Holland will be great as a younger Nathan Drake.
I will belive this when i see it in cinema. Years ago Sully was meant to be played by robert deniro and nathan was meant to be played by mark walberg.
Joe pesci was being brougt in to. And nothing lol

Ok, have fun at the movies, guys...
Next up, Nintendo makes a movie about Mario's formative years in preschool and Sega releases "Knuckles - the movie"
This film was always going to happen and honestly I don’t mind a younger take in Drake.
I just hope Nolan North gets a cameo, cause it would be criminal if he doesn’t
Makes sense to go with a younger actor if you’re trying to kick start a franchise.
Hard pass, they're wasting their time and money making this.
Shawn Levy?!?! I mean... The Arrival was a great film, but he's helmed some utter dross!
The Pink Panther remake being genuinely one of the worst films I've ever seen!
It would be great if they could infuse the movie with the same kind of action the last 3 mission impossible movies had.
How exciting could an Uncharted movie truly be? It's just going to scream Indiana Jones they entire time you watch it.
@Areus could also work
@RogerRoger
I was more remarking about the title of this article, they said its an exciting uncharted movie....why?
@RogerRoger
So the director of Cheaper by the Dozen, Night at the Museum 2, and the Pink Panther reboot wants us to trust anything he says, cute
