The Uncharted Movie Trailer Is Finally Here

looks promising ngl

Aside from the plane sequence (even then, it looks MUCH better in the game), this doesn't feel like Uncharted at all. Maybe it's just a bad trailer, but I still have extremely low expectations for this. Also, I adore Led Zeppelin, but I don't really think of Uncharted when I hear Ramble On.

At least Antonio Banderas as the villain seems like an inspired decision.

That ‘Scottish’ character is an abomination. Can’t believe we’re still flogging that dead horse. Groundskeeper Willie is more authentic.

@nessisonett I have a sneaking suspicion that's supposed to be Cutter from Uncharted 3. Which would make it worse since Cutter isn't Scottish....

The thirst is real with that thumbnail haha

Man Sony movie trailers with Tom Holland just keep getting leaked ahead of time

I wanted to believe Holland would somehow fit in the role in the end. But nope, bad casting.

@RBMango Nah, that just looks like a random thug who happens to be “Scottish”

The trailer looks pretty good, also Sony does love Tom Holland(and most people do, I'm a fan as well). If they have another movie I'm sure he won't seem as innocent especially if they actually add Elena and Chloe. Mark Wahlberg will probably have a mustache by the end of the movie lol.

Morbius and Uncharted to start off the year is pretty big for Sony.

Looks great. Hope it has lots of epic action set pieces like in the game.

Where is Sammy, saying it would never happen, now? 😉

It’s Tom Holland playing Tom Holland.

I’m in 😬

Hey, this looks fun, maybe I'll watch this (and venom 2) with my friends on movie theater

Wow this looks Witcher-level terrible.

The netflix series, not the games that is....

Looks better than I expected. Ngl the trailer got me kinda hyped. Lol

Let's make a verdict after actually watching it. I'll give it a chance.

They've managed to make Uncharted look really boring. Both Sully and Nathan are far too young as well.

My main takeaways:

a) Holland doesn't project Drake's cockiness whatsoever
b) Sully's moustache is being given its own end-of-credits scene
and c) It's hilarious that Zeppelin went from refusing to let their songs be used in films for decades to allowing all manner of terrible remixes all over the place.

Looks like a decent enough Friday night flick, that all said. But HBO's TLOU seem way more promising.

It looks...okay I'd say. Still not liking the Nate or Sully casting. Chloe actually looks and sounds pretty good though. I'll give it a shot come February at the very least and if it fails...well at least it will be a fun distraction!

I'm calling it now, Wahlberg won't get his Sully-stache until the last five minutes of the movie.

Uncharted Remastered? AGAIN? FOR PS5?

When are we going to stop it with these remasters and actually start delivering proper and new titles for PS5? Why should I buy a playstation if all i'm gonna play is a remastered version of everything i got on ps4?

The wider problem is that Sony is clearly NOT targeting this at the Uncharted core fans, but at the casual audience; hence why we have Tom and not say, Nathan Fillion. As much as studios bang on about being "for the fans", it's predominately the non fans that will drive its success.

That and it just looks wishy washy. It doesn't help that everything looks too "clean" and digital. Overuse of CGI in these adventure films are really starting to wear me down.

Looks funny but the shot of the knife at Marky Mark's neck looks really awkward. I would've done a few more takes to get that bit right

@JB_Whiting I agree, the threat of Tom Cruise’s impending demise is what keeps me coming back to Mission Impossible.

This looks properly entertaining! I just don't think Holland as Drake and Wahlberg as Sully fit at all 😆

Coming soon to PC... oh wait too soon....

Looks better then the horrible Assassins creed movie

Odd casting choices, although I think they'll work fine in the context of a movie that's not trying to be a strict adaptation of the games. The fact that they're going a completely different route with the characterizations means we don't have to worry about the actors doing poor impressions of the characters from the games.

It looks fun enough.

I want to live in the timeline where Nathan Fillion Uncharted movie happened 😭😭😭

Looks okay. I thought Cowboy Bebop's "Lost Session" trailer was more entertaining, tbh.

I like the humor. Just some of the casting doesn't feel...Perfect. After that Nathan Fillion short it's kinda hard accepting this new cast.

@ralphdibny I am with you on that 1

@Keyblade-Dan I would switch to that timeline in a heartbeat. This did nothing to sell me on it.

Doesn't look very good tbh, the casting is way off here with almost everyone...Chole looks like she cut class and ran away from home. I wouldn't know that Tom was playing Drake and Wahlberg Sully unless they had the signature clothes on.

Can't say I'm a fan. Bad casting, I'm afraid.

Uncharted is my favorite game series. I was skeptical when it was announced they were doing a movie. I was even more skeptical when Holland was cast as Drake. Even more so when Wahlberg was cast as Sully.

The trailer gives me a very small glimmer of hope. I expect it'll be the worst Uncharted released but will still be enjoyable as a B rated film. Enjoy it for what it is folks... this isn't going to be a 10 hour adventure with character progression... it'll be at best a 2 hour action romp.

After watching the trailer I'll wait for the VHS copy.

Tom Holland was a terrible choice. Andrew Garfield was also a much better Peter Parker/Spiderman.

Ugh… looks rough at best. The music in the trailer sucks and is all wrong and Markie Mark as Sully worse choice then the music!

Uncharted is a beloved IP and I’m afraid this debacle is going to tarnish that.

Actually doesn’t even look that bad.

Not sure how its a prequel with young Drake but has the plane scene from Uncharted 3 but hey ho.

Easy to separate the two properties and the games will always be the true Drake to me and some of my favourite games of all time.

Excited to watch the film, i’m sure it’ll be an easy popcorn flick

Allowances have to be made for the fact that the vast majority of people watching the film will never have played the games. This means that the films have to be entertaining in their own right. If the film was made for the fans of the games only, it would have a vastly smaller budget, revenue and audience. You wouldn't get the big budget stars that are there to attract the wider audience. You'd have someone you'd never heard of in the lead, and terrible special effects. Frankly, it would be a disaster. Obviously there are still chances that this film will be an utter turkey, but with the actors and budget, I highly doubt that will happen.

I get that people are invested in the games, but short of not having the films at all (to which some will ascribe) this is pretty much the best we can hope for...

Ok Tom Holland looks 15, but the movie still looks like its a lot of fun. I'll be watching it for sure.

I think it looks pretty good all things considered. Allan Hawco remains my live action Drake of choice but this looks like it could be a lot of fun.

Haven’t seen the trailer yet, but the thumbnail for the articles and video both don’t look like Drake. He does look focused on looking cool, which not Drake at all. Yeah, he feels bad for the role.

Pretty meh to me. I really don't get Sony's strange obsession of making movies out of video game franchises lately. Games like Uncharted, Resident Evil and MGS should've been left as video games. I know a lot of people say something like "this game is so good, it should be a movie" but I don't think it should be taken literally.

Also, at least cast Nathan Fillon. He's definitely the Nathan Drake that many people will accept.

Yah, this looks terrible. As an adaptation of Uncharted, and as a movie as a whole.

God no. This is somehow even more bland than I imagined it would be, and I can see it dying on it's arse. Everything just looks wrong. Everything.

It looks more like a james bond movie.and no mustache sully also.🤔.word up son

I would rather if Sony had put the budget of this film toward a 5th game instead! I'm really not a fan of movies based on games personally..

This couldn't be farther from Uncharted than it is. My God... Terrible. 🤦‍♂️

I haven’t played an Uncharted game yet (I do plan on correcting that), but from what I see the trailer looks good. Then again, I enjoyed the latest Tomb Raider film for what it was, so take from that what you will! 😀

@Keyblade-Dan as far as I'm concerned, the nathan fillion youtube short IS the uncharted movie

@PhhhCough If they wanted to crowdfund a bigger version or a sequel of that I would definitely do my part.

Good Trailer. I think the look and feel of the series is there. The two leads might be a problem but I’ll wait to pass judgement. I’ll be there in Feb for sure.

@Juanalf the way nathan fillion has slimmed up and doing action in the rookie; the staying power and acting of Stephen lang, is probably making sony second guess their casting. Cause those two as drake and sully is perfect.

I just can’t get past the casting choices. Both look too young and clean cut for their roles. That being said, I hope it’s a huge success and if it didn’t carry the uncharted name, I’d probably be hyped

#ReleasetheSullyStache

Could go either way, but it should make for a decent 'tache origin story

The Venn diagram of people who complained that The Witcher tv show wasn't The Witcher 3 game and people complaining that the Uncharted movie isn't any 1 game is a circle. 😂

Why do gamers think movies & tv shows are made for them? Games are made for gamers, shows & movies are made for watchers. While there is overlap there are a ton of people out there who will watch stuff who have never gamed.

I'm not watching the trailer on my phone, but it doesn't really matter, movies never look like their trailers to me. A trailer is usually the best 2 minutes of a 2 hour movie. Occasionally the only good 2 minutes, sometimes cut from the movie entirely - see Jokers "we live in a society" line. I'll watch the trailer later and the movie eventually. It's Uncharted and Tom Holland playing basically himself. Even if it's horrific I still have to watch it, been waiting like 10 years.🤷

This looks rubbish. Honestly it will be 2 stars easy. Not watching this. How can you compare this to the last of us series leak.
Chalk and cheese comparison

The only thing I can see is fake Spider-Man pretending to be Nathan Drake.

So it's supposed to be an origins story but it's just the story from uncharted 4 ?

Anyone else think that Mark Whalberg portrays Nathan Drake way more than Tom Holland does?

The fan film featuring Nathan Fillion was leagues better than this.

That's certainly a movie trailer.

When the acting in the games is better than the movie you know something ain't right. Such awful casting.

Look, I'm gonna say it. Mark Whalberg can't act. He's the same gormless titamaboob in every film, just sometimes with a comedy accent (the Departed). He went to the Vatican to apologise for being in boogie Nights, the one film he was good in, and that was due to him playing an idiot.

Let's also remember that he refused to apologise for a hate crime in which he blinded a Vietnamese man. He's a hack, he's a scumbag, and I have no idea why he still gets cast.

Tom Holland? Love him. Great actor, probably my favourite Spiderman, and seems like a really good person. Totally miscast as Drake, but that's not on him.

omg this is nuts man... Feb is shaping up to be CRAZY!
HFW + Elden Ring + Sifu + Uncharted movie! shiiiiiiiiii....

Where's Elena?

Just paste the removed mustach of Superman on Marky Marks face already.

Same view as many on here - Tom Holland isn't Drake and Mark Wahlberg isn't Sully. Shame because the action sequences look quite good.

@WanderingBullet
Now that was good!

Film's not even out and I'm already dreaming of a reboot with James Gunn and Nathan Fillion.

Box office bomb, mark it.

@Salt_AU Totally agree. They don't fit the parts, at all.

Terrible casting,no mustache or anything that feels Uncharted (except for that one scene).Looks like a straight to dvd release.

@TeapotBuddha Spot on with that comment.Mark Wahlbergs 'acting' is atrocious.I usually avoid anything with him in it.

@Perturbator I heard a lot of positive things about the Witcher Netflix series?

It loois like fun to watch so im in.

I just don't see Nathan Drake in Tom Holland. Non-gamers will probably enjoy this movie more than the people who actually played Uncharted.

Hahaha omg this looks absolutely terrible imo. Even with the action scene the whole thing feels lacklustre. The dialogue in the trailer sucks and the whole thing comes across as another boring generic action film for kids. Uncharted is a great game series but absolutely does not need a film. Still got hope for tlou tv show though.

@Richnj "a reboot with James Gunn and Nathan Fillion."

I second this! I legit would start the reboot right away, I wouldn't even wait for this impending bomb to release.

Very weak. After this trailer, I want to skip that movie

Thankfully we'll always have the games.

That was a dire watch in my opinion. Oh well I have all the games and I’ll play them all again instead

As an action movie, it will probably be pretty entertaining. I'll still watch it because of that, but like others have said, it looks like Uncharted but doesn't feel like it. That's mainly due to the fact that Tom Holland isn't Nathan Drake, completely lacking his attitude that makes the character special.

Antonio Banderas should be a pretty good villain, as he's had plenty of experience in playing really good villains, and I actually don't mind Mark Wahlberg as Sully as long as Nathan was actually Nathan in the movie.

@get2sammyb The ages are off because of their poor casting and pre-production work. Like I said, I don't mind Mark Wahlberg as Sully, but age wise it means Nathan has to be younger. That means all other characters in the movie have to be younger, but obviously they didn't put the effort in to make sure it all matched.

Tom Holland is a good Spider-Man, and is obviously why he got this part, but this version of Nathan isn't what he should be. It's either Tom or the writing, or both. Regardless, outside of Antonio Banderas as the villain, this doesn't really seemed to be cast right at all now that we've seen a trailer.

Like I also said above, it definitely looks entertaining and Uncharted. It just doesn't feel like it mainly because Nathan isn't Nathan in the movie.

@TeapotBuddha If the movie is bad, it's bad, if it's good, it's good. But if your criteria for judging a 2 hour movie is - this movie is going to suck b/c that one guy doesn't have a moustache - well I'm sorry but that's not really a good reason to say a movie is bad. And if you read the comments, some people are stuck on the moustache. Or "Tom Holland is too young to play Nathan Drake". Do people think Nathan Drake was born in his late 20's? In Uncharted 4 he's in his early to mid-teens for a chunk of the game.

If you think the trailer looks like trash that's fine, I still haven't watched it yet so I can't say, but if people are condemning a movie b/c it doesn't match up to the game, well it isn't a game, it's a movie. 🤷

@Flaming_Kaiser Story, acting, effects...everything felt cheap and terrible about the Witcher. But it was so bad it was almost fun to watch.

Many people will disagree though... but then some people also like English Pudding, which is the single most disgusting thing I ever put in my mouth!

In order to make a great Uncharted movie, I would do this:
1. Make it a 3D animated movie (think the style of more realistic episodes of Love, Death & Robots)
2. Get the original voice cast - Nolan North, Emily Rose etc
3. Get Amy Hennig to write the story, and perhaps co-direct it
4. ???
5. Profit

We all know a moustache can be removed with CGI, but can a moustache be put on an actor with CGI?

Unfortunately I see Holland. i see spider-man. I don't see Nathan Drake. Sadly time wasn't on Fillion's side for the role.

Looks at least as good as the Prince of Persia movie was. So I guess that’s not saying much.

was uncharted ps5 confirmed before this or is this also new?

@Perturbator Yeah, I'm not sure about step 5 at all.

Fans want to stick as close to original as possible. but it's not what the average person, who is willing to pay for a cinema ticket, would want.

Not a PC hater (not at all), it just feels kinda wrong to see those PS exclusives comming to PC...very wrong indeed.

@Flaming_Kaiser The Witcher TV series broke all kinds of records when it launched on Netflix, so definitely not a good example. Some people simply can't look at the bigger picture. Overall it was very well received.

@naruball I’ll also point out that for some of the weird decisions they made in Witcher Netflix, Henry Cavil was much better than the initial photo looked. He played Geralt based off the games, which is exactly what was wanted. He as a big fan of the games and that’s why it went well overall.
Tom Holland on the other hand, instead of talking about the games, literally talked about how he screwed up the role by trying too hard to look like a cool action hero in all the shots, which is not Drake. In every picture, all I can see his admission of guilt. I appreciate the honesty, but it was probably a bad idea to say he messed it up like that for drawing viewers to the movie.

This just doesnt work with Holland. He is missing a rough round the edges vibe. He looks too clean cut

@Fiendish-Beaver
Whilst that's all very much true what you say, they could still have managed some more inspired casting.

I'm really not a fan of either actor which is a shame as Drake and Sully are two of my favourite characters in gaming and it was exciting to finally hear they were getting the film treatment.

And as much as I'm still prepared to give the film a chance the trailer hasn't given me much hope.

@Jaz007 I feel exactly the same way about Tom. I wish he'd never said that. What did he expect with such a remark? All the effort of a huge team can go to waste after an unnecessary comment like that. Reminds of Daniel Craig saying he wanted to kill himself while filming the previous Bond movie. That's not honesty. It's downright stupid to actually say that in public.

@Perturbator Profit isnt always the same as what gamers like if the movie is fun let them at it. I was watching the Terrible Resident Evil movies with my dad and you know what he had fun. Probably a lot of people look at movies that way im a gamer and i have a different view on it but who knows maybe it will be fun.

@naruball If you wanna bitch about something like a miscast then i rather look at the new resident evil movie. Leon looks like Carlos and lot my favorite characters are nothing like the games. But i can just skip what i dont like. Movies from games mostly are not made for gamers.

As an Uncharted fan it looks awful. Holland just doesn’t come across as anything like Drake from the games, he looks like a kid doing Nathan Drake cosplay. I won’t bother watching this.

@naruball It's just an old South Park joke (badly reused by me).

South Park was this animated show that was popular a long time ago. It featured some very crude jokes at times, of the kind that could upset fragile modern sensibilities.

The name of the movie and the characters are the only things that reminds me this is supposed to be Uncharted. I forget about the project and everytime a new screenshot or something like this trailer pops up in the news I ask myself if the person who casted Holland has even looked at the games for more than a minute.

Is this following Drake as a teenager? It doesn't look Uncharted to me.
Plus, that scene where they pulled the fakest looking map out of the fakest looking sand with the cheapest looking lighting for the scene really screams "a cheap made for TV budget"

@Perturbator I'm a huge fan of South Park and I know the meme. It tends to be used in two ways: 1. by saying something completely stupid or 2. by saying something that makes sense. It sounded like it was the latter.
(edit: for the record, South Park is still incredibly popular, if you look at its ratings)

@Flaming_Kaiser Define "bitch about".

Seriously looks awful. No offense to the actors.

@Johnnycide While I’m no fan of Wahlberg, I think what you’re saying’s a bit unfair, as well as inaccurate. The guy you’re talking about wasn’t blinded by him in that fight but by a grenade long before. He’s also publicly forgiven Wahlberg, who was 16 at the time, went to prison for a bit, and resolved to change his ways as a result.

None of that forgives the lack of a moustache, of course. There’s just no escaping that.

The one thing I think we are definitely agreed on, @MightElf-69, is that Tom Holland is not the right actor to play Drake. He is simply too young (in looks, at least). I do happen to like him, but this is not the right role for him, in my opinion. I also like Mark Wahlberg, and think he would have made the better Drake. I can only assume that they thought that Holland would draw in a younger audience (possibly one that hasn't played the games). I doubt we will ever truly know the thinking behind this. I will, however, happily watch the film soon after it releases, as regardless of all the niggles, this will undoubtedly be my kind of film...

@TeapotBuddha I wasn't all that impressed either the first time I watched it - Claudia Black is my Chloe and that isn't her, obviously way too old to play her now - but the 2nd time I enjoyed it more. Then I watched Dune for 2:35 and the trailer looked a whole lot better. 😂

"another forgettable action film." Pretty sure that's what they are going for, meaning probably $300m box office. Where you expecting an Oscar for best picture or something? 🤷‍♂️

@rjejr Claudia Black is about the same age as Fillion though, so I personally would frame the entire story as a flashback/greatest hits adventure. That see's the older cast revisit previous locations, cutting to their CGI younger selves having a massive adventure and then back to their older selves struggling to do the things they use to and just generally having more of a misadventure.

I think the juxtaposition and comedy would fit well in to the wheelhouse of some of these older actors.

I'm hyped. I really like Holland, whalberg and Banderas. I don't know if they'll be able to do the games justice because that is a tall order but I'm hoping it will be a good movie in its own right.

@Richnj I REALLY like the idea of Claudia Black and Nathan Fillion sitting around a bar reminiscing about old times, but I hate this: "cutting to their CGI younger selves". Have you seen the last episode of the Mandalorian? 😝

Better idea - live action bar scenes, anime past.

You did give me a good idea though. I've always wanted them to repackage all of the Uncharted games - well the console ones anyway, sorry Golden Abyss - in chronological order, like Godfather 1 and 2. Shouldn't be too hard, games are broken up into chapters, just have to rearrange them. I'm not a fan of flashbacks so I could get all of that bogus kid stuff out of the way, then get the bad first game out of the way, then end on the really good parts of U2, U3, U4 and LL. And between the time jumps they could have the original voice actors from the games sitting around a bar explaining the time jumps and what is about to happen. Maybe on PS6. 😁 Maybe Nathan telling the stories to his daughter after his wife dies. You know w/ Nathan's luck she'll die first. 😥

Eh. Not for me. It's just too off, it's not just the looks but Tom's voice and seemingly demeanor isn't even close to Nathan. Looks like a pass from me. However, fresh from binging Still Game on Netflix Icwas able to interpret the Scottish guy! He even said Weeun (sounds like way-un).

@TeapotBuddha Ah I got ya. That's pretty much how I felt the 1st time watching it. Like yeah, that's what I expected, but it needed that 1 thing more, something inexplicably Nate. Something meme worthy. I'm not even sure what Nate's catch phrase is, woah or something, but I didn't feel it. 2nd watch I was just kinda like screw it, Led Zep. Worked for Thor Ragnarok. 😎

@nathanSF Yeah, thought the comic book strip and back and forth transitioning between different backgrounds was very cool and well done. The best part was when Faye throws the framing and it turns into a staff when Spike catches it.

@naruball Im sorry i should jave used another word this is way to harsh i mend complain.
