Director Shawn Levy has given a filming update on the long-awaited film adaptation of Uncharted. The film is based on the Uncharted video games, which center around a treasure hunter named Nathan Drake.

Nathan Drake is often compared to a modern Indiana Jones, and it's easy to see why. Both characters are suave men who travel deep into jungles and other foreign areas in order to discover old relics and artifacts. Mark Wahlberg starring as Drake, but that never came to be. A lot has developed for the Uncharted adaptation since 2009, and now Levy has offered a new update on the project.

While talking with Levy about his work on Starman and Uncharted, in regard to which film fans should be expecting first. When asked which project was closer to shooting Levy commented, "I mean, as of right now, the closest to the starting line is “Uncharted” in that it’s a massive title. We now have a very good script and we have our star in Tom Holland. That is now subject to schedule and additional casting. But I would say as of right now, that seems to be the most near horizon. And it’s a movie I’m very excited about.". Levy also went on to explain that directing Stranger Things season 3 has kept him busy, which is why his work on films has been temporarily delayed.

The Uncharted film spent a long time in development hell, but it seems to finally be making progress. Since the project was announced, it's already gone through several changes when it comes to Holland will be playing a young Nathan Drake.

continually getting delayed, viewers could be itching to see another adventurer up on the big screen. Uncharted could potentially succeed for that reason, but first, it's got to get production moving, preferably before Dr. Jones returns from hiatus.
