We all know the big screen adaptation of Uncharted is unlikely to ever come out, but Spider-Man star Tom Holland – who’s still currently signed on to play a younger incarnation of Nathan Drake – has heaped praise on the script all the same. Speaking with IGN, the British actor said: “I read the newest draft of the script on the way over here and it’s one of the best scripts I’ve ever read. It really, really jumps off the page.”
He continued: “I think what Uncharted offers that most video games films don’t is that it’s an origin story to the games. So, if you played the games, you haven’t seen what’s going to happen in the film. And if you haven’t played the games, you’re going to enjoy the film because it’s information that everyone else is getting at the same time. But I’m super excited to make that movie and it’s been a long time coming.”
We have seen snippets of Drake’s past in Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception and Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End, but we suspect the movie will centre on the sharp mouthed adventurer’s inaugural adventures with Sully – especially with Mark Wahlberg signed up to play the moustachioed lothario. Of course, the producers will need to find a new director, after it lost its sixth (!) a few months back.

Um, we have seen his Origin. We saw it in U3 and U4. We know what happened, and we even have Golden Abyss. I mean we haven’t had a while story dedicated to it, but we know what happened. I’m just disinclined to believe this has a great script after so much turmoil and being redone. Plus, you know, we’ll never see the script either....
TLDR: Tom Holland hasn't played an Uncharted game in his life and doesn't really care.
With the way Hollywood works, the Uncharted film will probably be fast tracked now since Sonic did so well its opening weekend.
pretty sure Nates origins were already covered in Uncharted 3 and 4
of course we didn't see all his early adventures but his origins, already covered
Jumps off the page does it? Explains why they are having such a hard time pinning this sucker down.
“I read the newest draft of the script on the way over here and it’s one of the best scripts I’ve ever read.”
And really? Come on now.

He did do that film with Daisy Ridley that was so bad it still hasn't been released! 😂
@KALofKRYPTON "Please make this movie so I can star in it."
I'm a little sceptical about Mark being Sully, but he might surprise us, many other actors have. But will we get the Sully voice.
I wonder though, whether this will be in line with the first 3 games or Uncharted 4 (where a brother exists).
I'm lovin it! This is gonna be the dogs hairy doodads!
