Tom Holland and Nolan North have shared the first official images from the long-awaited Uncharted movie.
If you still didn't believe that Uncharted is a reality, you will now be absolutely convinced by the new footage from the shooting. They show us the relics that appear in the picture, so they could give us at least a small insight into the story. In addition, two representatives of the role of a famous adventurer met on the back, and best of all, Tom Holland himself appeared to us as Nathan Drake on his social networks. But fine. We have finally seen that Uncharted is really being made. After the difficult destinies that have accompanied him for 12 years. It was postponed several times, canceled, several re-casts took place and, last but not least, many changes of directors. It was to be filmed first by David O. Russell, then by Shawn Levy or Dan Trachtenberg. None of them succeeded and the project is currently firmly in the hands of Ruben Fleischer, who brought us Zombieland or Venoma in the past.
Filming was scheduled to begin earlier this year, but the pandemic postponed any Hollywood production. Now, subject to strict measures, it could be re-launched and, according to Instragram, the lead actor Tom Holland, is being shot in Spain in the small coastal village of Xábia in Valencia. A representative of the original Nathan Drake also visited the plaza. Actor Nolan North spoke the character in an original Sony PlayStation game (which also includes the film) from Naughty Dog. Now he has come to sell the imaginary baton to the current official. He then published a tweet with shared photos, to which he wrote that it was like looking in a mirror. In addition, he is proud that it is Holland who takes over Drake's legacy, because he is absolutely overwhelming in this role.
Two additional photos he added on his social network show props from the film. We see a kind of jeweled double cross, which is in the middle of the crypt. The book we see in the second picture was quickly analyzed and discovered by the Internet. It is a biography entitled "The First Miscircumcision of the Earth", written in 1890 by Francis Henry Hill Guillemard. He speaks of Fernão de Magalhães, who was the first to circumnavigate the world. This could be the first hint in the story of the film. It should not be adapted according to any of the four main games. In addition, the creators strictly guard it. Were we now witnessing Tom Holland as Nathan Drake looking for this daring voyage? We know that the character has a lot of experience with sea routes and discoverers. Nathan Drake himself is a descendant of the legendary sailor Francis Drake. Holland will logically appear as a younger version of this adventurer we are used to from games. He will also be joined by the well-known Victor Sullivan from the games. This will be played by Mark Wahlberg, who at one point in the past was referred to as the actor who was to play the lead role. Antonio Banderas will also play in an unspecified role in the film. Actress Tati Gabrielle will complete the cast. The premiere is set for July 16, 2021, but who knows what may change. And now to the big newspaper. Shortly after North's visit to the plaza, the lead actor himself added a photo to his Instragram, where he shows himself in full in the role. So we can finally see what Tom Holland looks like as Nathan Drake and we can really see that we have something to look forward to, it's like being cut out of the game.
