Just last week it was announced that Shawn Levy is on board to helm the Uncharted movie, and according to the Stranger Things director, the search for the film's leading man is already underway.
In an interview with io9, Levy said he has a few actors in mind, noting there's been no shortage of suggestions sent to him through social media as to who should play Nathan Drake. In fact, the director said he's already "started some very secret, low-grade conversations and explorations of actors."
Levy also spoke to the tone of the film, saying the script from writer Joe Carnahan serves up a "really cool and unique plot," adding, "we have a tone that Joe and I are channeling right into the script that is that Nathan-blend of real guy, heroism, snarky, funny wit. I think we figured out the tone in an exciting way."
With regard to the film's approach to story, Levy said "it's been a long ass time since we've had a great, and contemporary, treasure hunter movie," and the Uncharted movie will fill that void, offering a "combination of the hunt, the action, the relationships and the characters," making it "really unique and super juicy to bring to the big screen."
The Naughty Dog-developed game franchise off which the film is based is known for its incredible set piece moments, and Levy intends to deliver on fans' expectations with incredible action.
"Those action scenes blow my mind in the game and if I don’t give that experience to audiences with the movie I didn’t do my job. And I intend to do my job," he said.
Uncharted does not yet have a release date, but Levy hopes to wrap filming sometime next year.
