The movie that will never get made is… Getting made again! You may recall director Shawn Levy departing the Uncharted movie project late last year, mercifully putting the non-starter on ice. Well, it’s back, with Variety reporting that 10 Cloverfield Lane maker Dan Trachtenberg has been brought on board to steer the adaptation. Spider-Man star Tom Holland is still expected to play the lead role, with the film set to chronicle Nathan Drake’s early encounters with partner in crime, Victor ‘Sully’ Sullivan.
Sony hopes to start filming the movie before the end of the year, although Holland’s Spider-Man commitments will play a part in the scheduling. Of course, given the long and tumultuous history of this project, then we’re fairly confident that it will be canned and revived at least three more times before 2020 arrives.

Seriously, we don't need Uncharted 5.
In the words of The Joker Sammy "I think we're destined to do this forever"

Breaking News: Dan Trachtenberg is departing. Oh, sorry. I was just getting ahead of the news for next week.
I remember when I used to be excited for this. Now I’m not. I just keep clicking to see why it’s still doomed.
As Drake would say, "Oh crap..."
Even if it does come out, you know it isn't gonna be worth the effort of this many revivals.
@EVIL-C
Or 'Here goes nothing.'
I imagine everytime a director leaves Sully says 'i cant leave this movie alone for a minute can i?'
I actually think Tom Holland as a young Drake isn't the worst idea in the world. I just wish they'd get on with making it if that's what they want to do.
To be fair, the Aquaman film was the best Uncharted film we'll ever get. The huge chunks of land exploration and treasure hunting, rooftop traversing and gunfights etc. Swap out the water beam things for guns and bullets and it's pretty much Uncharted.
Just get it over with and get Spielberg he knows how to it. 😜
They should let that person who made that awesome Uncharted fan film make the movie at this point.
Sigh, not this again. Movies about videogame series are always a terrible idea.
So tired of having any hopes or excitement for this movie. The leaked script from David O. Russell's version was disgusting.
also, there are new Writers for the Scrip...

Never be excited about a video game movie.
By the time this movie gets made Tom Holland will be old enough to play as middle age Drake lol
