The Uncharted movie, better known as the Un-started movie (high five), has been delayed. Sony has made the decision to push back the doomed film adaptation of its hit game series, and this should come as no surprise to anyone.
The delay comes fairly soon after the departure of yet another director, and sees the projected release of the flick move to 5th March 2021. It was meant to be out just before Christmas this year, but Sony's booked a few extra months while it continues searching for the right cast and crew. As far as we're aware, Tom Holland is still lined up to play a young Nathan Drake, while mentor Sully will reportedly be played by Mark Wahlberg.
To be honest, it's all getting beyond a joke now. It's becoming difficult to poke fun at the drawn-out production of this film -- we just want to watch the darn thing at this point. The good news is that, even with the delay, Sony will need to get started with shooting pretty sharpish to hit its goal. If the stars align and the movie really does finally release next March, we hope it's worth the wait.

“we just want to watch the darn thing at this point”
Do we? Like, really??
Stop wasting money trying to make it happen! Six directors have left, there must be a major flaw there somewhere if they can’t retain one. It’s inevitably going to get cancelled.
PS6 will come out before this movie.
This is basically the FFXV of video game adaptation to cinema. It should be called Uncharted Versus 4.
I bet it will be beautiful but will be absolute crap if it releases one day. And considering all the good films adapted from a video game... I don't really care if this one gets released during my lifetime
I'm all for delays...but this is an exception. They really need to just let it rest.
Delaying a movie after the director leaves and you haven't announced a replacement yet seems like a pretty "well duh" thing for them to say.
I just found out Godzilla vs Kong was delayed until Nov so I'm pretty bummed about that, but I've kind of lost interest in this one. Can't they just edit all the cutscenes from U2 into a film and release that instead?
The movie version of the Duke Nukem Forever production here?
Love the games, dont have the same level of excitement for the movie (if it ever happens).
I’ll look forward to the next delay.
How can a film which basically doesn't even exist be released in just over a year from now?
Really, Mark Wahlberg as Sully. Not sure about that 😑
They should just make a movie about the making of this movie
I love uncharted but this is getting beyond a joke now, loved the little short film that was made with nathan fillion. But mark whallburg as sully really the guy is awful at acting and not really a good fit for sully. Think if this movie is actually made with these actors i think i would pass on it anyway.
Jeez just cancel it already
Just... Stop.
There must be someone with clout at Sony Pictures looking at the casting decisions who's actually played the games think "nah, fans aren't going to watch this."
Just kick Tom Holland from the cast he is too busy and use that fan made one that looked cool.
Cancel... take the money, make a game.
just make a tomb raider movie. rosa salazar's free
edit: holy crap she's 34... thought she was like 20 in Battle Angel
Maybe just use nolan north to do the voice and do an animation of drake they can pretty much get them lifelike now tbh and that way just the best character for drake tbh and you know its familiar the voice.
If it gets delayed any more Tom Holland will be old enough to play Sully!
They’ve also completely dropped Masters of the Universe from their schedule. That was supposed to be out in the new Uncharted slot.
At this rate Tom Holland will be playing normal Drake not young drake. Also Mark Wahlberg being lined up for Sully. I like Marky Mark but thats a bad casting like when he was cast as Max Payne
That's a highly optimistic goal to get all the shooting and CGI done in time, especially given the troubles so far.
Keep delaying it until Tom Holland grows up. Or please recast.
@Danloaded Agreed.
Ridiculous...makes no common sense whatsoever, just cancel the movie and be done with it. Who is keeping this thing going?
uncharted : drake's procrastination.
the tomb raider movie was based on a good game, and had alicia vikander in it, and it was still rubbish. at this point, there's no way they're going to get this movie right.
Just give up on it for god's sake
Oh no, what terrible news...🤭
Not only is this movie 10 years too late to start filming, it's also poised to feature Mark Cuckberg. If this movie ever comes out, boycott it for the very reason of hypocrisy. A gun critic should not be allowed to make a fortune peddling movies where he frequently uses firearms. Paycheck or not, have a f***ing backbone you douche.

@rjejr leave Bono out of this.
Yeah, this needs to die now. It isn't going to please fans of the series, and it isn't going to be the next Indiana Jones. It's a doomed project and it certainly seems like six directors agree.
You want to watch this film Pushsqare, seriously?
How to fix this Movie in three simple steps.
This is one of those films that will never happen.
Although, having said that, the Warcraft movie was planned for ages, and did eventually come to fruition, and Blizzard are some real sticklers for quality (not that sony aren't).
I think maybe we'll see this when the stars align, and the correct directors, and actors all come together.
As long as they are delaying...Anyone watch the show Sneaky Pete on Amazon. The cop grandson would make a good Nathan Drake. I'd prefer a more adult Nathan Drake over going young.
Let Naughty Dog set up their own movie wing and make it with the game actors. It'll be better received by the fans, and probably be a better movie than Hollyweird can manage anyway.
@SnowTiesAreCool There's only 1 Bono.
It's going to be absolute toilet
@Nintyfan Hi there. I've warned you several times about swearing — please stop. It would be a shame to ban you over something so easily avoided Thank you.
