It's been pretty quiet since then, but Scott Cawthon, creator of the Five Nights at Freddy's series, did say back in November 2020 that filming was scheduled to begin in 2021. Chris Columbus - director of Home Alone, Mrs Doubtfire, and the first two Harry Potter movies - was named as writer, director, and producer on the project. In 2018 it was announced that serious scare studio Blumhouse - home of The Purge and Insidious series - had picked up the rights to the killer animatronic bears horror story.

This time the release has slipped to March 5, 2021, a further three-month delay for a movie that's been in development, off and on, since 2008. Naturally, the coronavirus pandemic would eventually impose its effects on the Uncharted movie and delayed its release to February 18, 2022. Fans hope's soared when Dan Trachtenberg was announced as the new director, but he left a few months later.īumblebee director Travis Knight took his place, but only for a couple of months, leaving the director's chair empty for now. Perhaps because of this, Sony Pictures has confirmed it's once again delaying the release of the live-action Uncharted film. Directed by American Hustle's David O Russell, fans we're confused about the rumored plot lines, and things soon fell quiet.
Rumors and drama have surrounded the Uncharted movie since around 2010, when Mark Wahlberg confirmed he was playing Nathan Drake and that Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci would be his co-stars.
Thanks to a new deal, Netflix has exclusive rights to stream Sony's theatrical releases.
Since then we've had the first picture of Holland as a young Drake, and Wahlberg with an impressive mustache. According to Holland, Wahlberg is back in the cast, but as Sully instead of Nate Drake as he was previously cast. The word before the pandemic was that filming was set to begin shortly, but production was put on hold in March. Tom Holland will play a young Nathan Drake, and the latest candidate for the cursed director's chair is Venom and Zombieland director, Ruben Fleischer.
