Drake’s Misfortune
For Sony, the long road to itsUnchartedmovie adaptation has been a mission as complex and challenging as Nathan Drake’s digital adventures. Following on from the late-2019 news that the productionhad lost its sixth director, Travis Knight, Sony has been forced to push the movie back from its original December 2020 release date.
As noted byThe Hollywood Reporter,theUnchartedmovie is now expected to release in March of 2021, replacing another Sony adaptation,Masters of the Universe– a project also currently miring in development limbo. Ironically, Warner Bros.pulled their upcomingMortal Kombatmovieforward several months to avoid clashing with theMOTUflick.
Unchartedhas had writer Joe Carnahan on board for some time, and the ink has long-dried on the contracts of starsTom HollandandMark Wahlberg, but the constant shifting of directors has played havoc with cast and crew schedules, presenting a string of barriers that have been preventing cameras from rolling on this beleaguered project.
Unchartedis now scheduled to release in theatres on July 24, 2025.
