Uncharted movie history

Fans who were thrilled about the movie finally being underway were not very excited about this announcement. In their defense, the movie was first announced in 2008 and has been ‘in development’ ever since. And now, 12 years later, in the middle of a global pandemic, the fans get their wish. They have the right to be frustrated.

The movie had a rocky road up to the announcement made by Tom yesterday. In 2009, it was confirmed that the movie was definitely in the works. Actor Nathan Filion even showed interest in playing Nathan Drake and started a Twitter campaign, urging the fans to support him.
