Sony hasn't made any recent announcements regarding its
Uncharted movie project, but that isn't stopping actor Tom Holland from preparing for his role
as the young Nathan Drake.
The
Spider-Man: Homecoming star recently took to his Instagram account and shared a video featuring the title screen for the PlayStation 4 game
Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection - a compilation featuring
Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves and Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception remastered in HD - along with the words "For research purposes." Holland appears to have since removed the video - perhaps at Sony's request - but not before GameZone's Cade Ondor archived it.
Movie adaptations of popular video games don't typically have a happy ending, mostly because they don't stick to the source material. It must be reassuring to Sony fans to see Holland at least taking interest in the PlayStation games to help get in the right mindset of a young Nathan Drake.
The Uncharted movie has been in development for quite a while now with writer Joe Carnahan having revealed earlier this year that he finally completed his rewrite of the script. With Shawn Levy on board to direct and Holland teasing his "research" for the role, it would appear as though the Uncharted movie is finally heading towards production.
