Today is not a speculative day to be Tom Holland . First , we found out that his Spider - Manwill continue to be part ofthe Marvel Cinematic Universe . And now , his other potential franchise , Uncharted , may have its next director .
Deadlinereports that Travis Knight , conductor of Bumblebeeand head of Laika animation , is in “ negotiations ” to direct the movie base on the Naughty Dog video game serial publication about treasure hungriness Nathan Drake . Knight is now the 6th ( we think ) theater director to be publicly bond to the project , after David O. Russell , Neil Burger , Seth Gordon , Shawn Levy , andDan Trachtenburg(right ? Are we missing any ? ) .
According to the trade , if all work out , motion-picture photography would begin next year — which makes that December 18 , 2020 release datecurrently on the booksseem all-fired near impossible to hit . More likely , it will arrive sometime the year after .

Knight is a upstanding , completed managing director , who proved on Bumblebee(as well as his Laika productions ) he has a cracking eye for activity , character , and emotion . all of which are needed for Uncharted . One has to inquire though , what ’s the problem here ? Uncharted as an idea is a slam stuff shot . It ’s modern twenty-four hour period Indiana Jones . But there must be some entity , either at Sony or Naughty Dog or somewhere , that keeps making it hard for the film to get going . Maybe the hand in its current state is too expensive to take ? Maybe no one can breeze through that symmetry of big action mechanism with affordable terms tag ? Maybe there ’s a worry a bad movie would damage the game franchise ? We honestly do n’t know .
But , like Levy and Trachtenberg and everyone else before him , Knight is another right alternative here . We ’ll see if he ’s the one who at long last pulls Nathan Drake off a cliff .
