Nolan North, who voices the protagonist "Nathan Drake" in uncharted games, released a new set of stills from the film of the same name exclusively on his personal video account.
Inside the new stills, two mysterious golden crosses are placed on a nautical map of the waters surrounding Italy.
In another still, one of the "keys" is inserted into a strange-looking keyhole, as if about to open some ancient treasure that has been closed for many years. This golden cross may be a crucial prop in this adventure.
In the third still, a statue on horseback with a cross-carved shield catches attention. The statue is covered with green mosses and dense spider webs that seem to have been untouched for years. The huge skeleton and metal cage-like set behind the statue are also reverie.
Also exposed was an old map of the world, marked with red dots on the number of ports and ships around the world. Combined with the details of the costumes on the statue, the shape of the golden cross, and the previous official release of the ancient book stills with portraits, the story of the film may be related to Ferdinand Magellan, the first navigator in human history to complete the circumnavigation of the globe.
Uncharted is directed by Ruben Frescher, director of Venom: Deadly Guardians, and is currently starring Spider-Man Tom Holland, with the addition of Mark Wahlberg, Antonio Banderas, Sophia Ali and Tati Gabriel.
The game series of the same name tells the story of the protagonist Nathan Drake's adventure in search of mysterious treasures in the primeval jungle, desert hinterland, snow-capped mountain plateaus, ancient ruins and other places. The film, on the other hand, chooses the blank space of the game series and focuses on the young Nathan Drake, played by Tom Holland.
This game adaptation, which has been making since 2008, is really coming.
The project has undergone as many as 6 director changes before and after.
"The Big Short" director David M. O. Russell was the first person Sony found, and he had many personal ideas for the film, intending to create a "family adventure theme film".
By then Mark Wahlberg had confirmed the role of Male Number One, the game's protagonist, Captain Drake. David S. O. Russell also plans to hire Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci to play Drake's father and uncle, respectively.
Probably because his own crazy ideas couldn't be realized, in 2011, David M. O. Russell announced his retirement, and Sony had to find a new creator to take charge of the project.
Neil Borg, director of Divergent: Alien Awakening, briefly took over, but his script seemed to be unpromising and soon gave way.
In 2014, "Uncharted Sea" came out with new news.
Due to the postponement of The Amazing Spider-Man 3, Sony tried to top it with Uncharted.
At this time, "Bad Boss" director Seth Gordon became the third director, and his tenure was only one year.
In 2015, Sony announced a one-year delay in the release of Uncharted because Seth Gordon had abandoned directing.
In 2016, movies such as "Warcraft" and "Need for Speed" set off a boom in game adaptation genre films, and Sony had a reason to spend more energy to create "Uncharted IP".
The previous 3 directors did not work, Sony simply chose to restart, found "Dragon Strike Force" director Joe Kanahan to rewrite the script, and soon confirmed that "Iron Fist" director Sean Levy directed.
Sean Levy persisted until the arrival of the new Spider-Man Tom Hollander, and the film confirmed a "prequel story" about Captain Drake's adventures as a young man.
But the magic spell reappeared, and in early 2019, Daniel Trachtenberg, director of 10 Clover Road, took over Sean Levy's job.
Nowadays, the series of movies is popular, and there can be "XX universe" at any time.
Seeing that Warner has DC magic, Harry Potter magic universe, Disney has The Marvel Universe, Star Wars Universe, Sony, which has only one Spider-Man Universe in hand, naturally wants more gold-sucking IP, and "Uncharted" is a potential stock that has not yet been played.
So, one movie isn't enough, and Sony wants to make Uncharted into an action-adventure series like Raiders of the Lost Ark.
Perhaps it was Daniel Tracetenberg, who had never played a major project, who could not hold on, and the director was replaced again, and the sixth director, Taravis Knight, took office.
"Bumblebee" proves Taraves Knight's control over big production, but the rich second generation, who is going to go back to take over the nike empire's tens of billions of family assets without making a movie, has been busy creating a new film, "The $6 Billion Man".
Because the male protagonist Tom Holland's schedule is so full, he and Taraves Knight can't seem to get together to make a film, and then the sixth director announces the end of the mission before it has officially begun.
In early 2020, the seventh director, Ruben Frescher, arrived.
His collaboration with Sony on "Venom" has been a huge commercial success, and the two sides may be able to cooperate on the basis of tacit understanding.
Everything was ready, who knew that the epidemic was coming, and the production progress was hindered.
Sony postponed March 5, 2021, to July 16, 2021.
At present, the film has been completed, and the impression is that Sony rarely has the problem of editing rights competition, and it seems that the problem is not big!
