The first Uncharted game in the series, Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, was released in 2007, leading Sony and Spider-Man film producer Avi Arad to begin developing the Uncharted movie in 2008. The movie was going to be scripted by writing duo Thomas Dean Donnelly and Joshua Oppenheimer (Conan the Barbarian, Dylan Dog: Dead of Night) with Arad producin...
In 2010, the Uncharted movie seemed to have taken a positive step forward, with producers Arad, Roven and Gartner starting over by teaming with David O. Russell (The Fighter, American Hustle), who would write and direct the project. By this point, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves had been released a year earlier in 2009 to much acclaim, further building ...
In 2011, Russell left the Uncharted movie to make what would become an acclaimed Oscar-nominated film, Silver Linings Playbook. As for why Russell’s version of the film didn’t pan out, it came down to an all-too-familiar reason–creative differences. Russell explained to THRthat his take didn’t match what the studio wanted for the film, saying, "I w...
In 2012, Burger decided to leave the Uncharted movie to make Divergent. In his place the husband/wife duo of Marianne and Cormac Wibberley (National Treasure, Bad Boys II) were brought on to re-write the film, although this would prove to be yet another false start.
In 2014, several names came on and off the project in quick succession. Seth Gordon (The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters, Identity Thief) was named the new Uncharted movie director, while David Guggenheim (Stolen, Safe House) would pen the script. The studio seemed confident in this take on the film, as they planned to go into production in 201...
In 2015, the infamous Sony hack saw Guggenheim’s script leaked online, and not long after Sony Pictures’ new Chairman Tom Rothman decided to change gears on the film and go for a mature version more in line with the games. This caused Gordon to depart as director and he went on to make Baywatch instead. Unable to hit its planned 2016 release date, ...
The year 2016 marked a changing of the tide for the Uncharted movie, and it’s this version of the film that would go on to actually be made, though not without several more hiccups along the way right up to release. In 2016, writer Joe Carnahan (Smokin’ Aces, The A-Team) was brought on to pen the Uncharted script as was Shawn Levy (Night at the Mus...
In 2017, things continued to go well for the Uncharted movie as Carnahan finished the script and Spider-Man actor Tom Holland was cast in the lead role as Nathan Drake. The film would essentially be a prequel to the games with Holland playing a younger Drake at the start of his treasure-hunting career. Writer Rafe Judkins (The Wheel of Time, Agents...
In 2018, Levy dropped out as director to work on Free Guy, leaving the Uncharted movie still moving forward but without anyone at the wheel.
In 2019, Dan Trachtenberg (10 Cloverfield Lane) took a turn in the hot seat and was brought on as director of the Uncharted movie, only to exit the project later that year. He was replaced by Travis Knight (Kubo and the Two Strings, Bumblebee), who not long after left the project due to scheduling conflicts. These issues forced Sony to push back th...
