Tom Holland's New Video-Game Adaptation Gets Its First Look
is holland still too young to play drake? or has the Adaptation nailed the look?
After being previously announced to star as Nathan Drake in an Uncharted adaptation, Tom Holland has shared his first look in the film. Despite all the criticism announced before Holland even gave us the sneak peak, fans of the game have given generally positive reception.
Mostly, the doubt in Holland’s capability was gauged at his innocence, and lack of maturity, confidence and just overall toughness. Most moviegoers know him from Jon Watts’ two box office smasher Spider-Man remakes, Homecoming and Far From Home, which have both been great successes with the critics as well. After making his bones as the cheerful Peter Parker, he starred in this year’s The Devil All the Time, in which he proved all of his haters wrong. Holland served his never-before-seen versatility on a big old silver platter.
Now, he has Uncharted and Chaos Walking coming up, and no one can doubt that he’s a true rising star. He may look a little too young, but in terms of roguishness, I think his first look payed of. The actor has also reportedly finished filming the movie, meaning that the inevitable trailer will be releasing soon. I do not actually play video games, but after viewing some images of Drake (his character) online, this looks right. Some people have described it as glorified cosplay, but for the most part, reactions have been ecstatic. The tweet reads: “It’s nice to meet you, I’m Nate. #uncharted”
Ruben Fleischer (Zombieland, Venom) will be taking on the role of directing the anticipated adaptation. In terms of a director, I mostly respect his work, especially Zombieland, but he failed to make a convincing superhero blockbuster with 2018’s Venom, although it made a whole lotta cash. His action sequences are mostly chaotic and bombastic, but hopefully his direction will pay off, because a lot of people are counting on this one to change the slew of subpar video game adaptations.
Uncharted is set to release in theaters on July 16, 2021 if all goes well.
