Uncharted News!

Well it seems interest in an Uncharted film adaptation hasn’t completely vanished from Sony’s radar, even though time has passed since the David O’ Russel version appeared to be gathering momentum.

Shawn Levy is the latest name attached to the project, reportedly he is being brought in to take on directing duties for the film. Levy’s previous works include Real Steel, Date Night, and more recently a couple of episodes from hit series Stranger Things.

The idea of a film version based on the playstation exclusive Uncharted video games series has been coming up for years now, and seems a natural translation given the cinematic approach in the games. However to date it’s all been seemingly false starts, we’ll have to wait and see whether this latest development will get Nathan Drake to the big screen.

Leith spent most of his formative years growing up on the coastal fringes of Western Australia without a cinema in sight. There he grew up on the wonders of home rentals before relocating to Perth and gaining access to a proper cinematic experience just in time for the Star Wars Special Edition re-releases. From there Leith's love of movies expanded to volunteering on a Star Wars fan film, reviewing films, writing about film news, and attending film and pop-culture related conventions on the other side of the world. Leith's favourite films are too many to mention but all start with the Star Wars saga, Back to the Future, the Dark Knight trilogy, Indiana Jones, Lord of the Rings and all things Kevin Smith. With an insatiable appetite for all things pop-culture related Leith also has an unhealthy addiction to the world of comics and can often be found buried under a pile of unread back issues madly trying to catch up on a number of titles coming out from mostly DC and Darkhorse.
