Tom Holland to star in the movie adaptation of famous video game 'Uncharted,' set to release in December 2020

Sony Pictures' movie adaptation of popular video game 'Uncharted', featuring Spider-Man star, Tom Holland, will hit the theatres worldwide in December 2020. The film is based on the PlayStation video game series that follows the adventures of treasure hunter Nathan Drake, to be portrayed by Holland.

Directed by Dan Trachtenberg, the movie will feature Drake's first encounter with the professional rogue Sullivan. Trachtenberg boarded the project in January this year after Shawn Levy exited due it over scheduling issues, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Jonathan Rosenberg and Mark Walker have penned the most recent draft of the film's screenplay.

Details of the plot are scarce, but it will feature a young Drake, presumably detailing his backstory and origin into the Indiana Jones-type treasure hunter who leads the series. And if the movie is anything like the games, you can expect epic action set pieces, dramatic firefights and plenty of scaling mountains and rock faces.
