Everything has not been going well for the Uncharted Movie project. A lot of fans seem skeptical of the movie, the filming has been delayed, and recently, there has been a change of director!

Uncharted Movie to have new director!

With how much the movie industry can make, turning established game franchise into movies holds great potential for Hollywood film makers. There was WarCraft already, Assassin’s Creed is going to hit the theater at the end of this year, and there are plans for a Gears of War movie as well! The game series Uncharted has received critical success over the years, so it is not a surprise that this saga will see its movie adaptation some time in the future. However, it has not been all sugar and rainbows for this project.

Sony’s Uncharted movie has changed director quite a few times already since its announcement in 2009. Recently, Shawn Levy, director and executive producer of some episodes of Stranger Things, has been appointed to the position. Hopefully this may be the last change, because as Deadline reported, the movie is being fast-tracked. Levy’s works portfolio include the upcoming Arrival (starring Amy Adams and Jeremy Renner), Real Steel, Night at the Museum, and he 2006 Pink Panther remake. He will also direct some more episodes of Stranger Things in its second season.

The film’s production has met with many obstacles so far. Nolan North, the voice actor of the game’s protagonist Nathan Drake, as shared that fans are skeptical of the movie, regardless of who will play as Nathan. The cast and director have been changed for a few times already, and filming was supposed to start in 2015, but has been delayed. Hopefully this time, it will be smooth sailing for the crew!

Uncharted Movie: Looking to prove itself

With so much drama behind the scenes, expectation for this movie is not high. However, it may be a good sign, as it leaves a lot of rooms to surprise the audience with an amazing movie. Hopefully we will get just that! Are you looking forward to this movie?
