Gather round, friends, for another episode in the seemingly unending saga of Sony’s Uncharted movie – one in which the film-which-would-not-be-made gains a new director in the form of 10 Cloverfield Lane helmer Dan Trachtenberg.
Trachtenberg’s appointment, as reported by Variety, comes less than a month after the departure of Night At The Museum and Stranger Things director Shawn Levy.
Levy, who’d been attached to the Uncharted movie project since 2016, left to work on Ryan Reynolds’ Free Guy. His departure was something of a surprise given that, just a few weeks earlier, he’d suggested that Uncharted was nearing the starting line. “We now have a very good script and we have our star in Tom Holland,” Levy said, “That is now subject to schedule and additional casting. But… right now, that seems to be the most near [the] horizon.”
