Sony Pictures has removed the Uncharted film from its upcoming release schedule, as noted by Comingsoon.net. The film was slated to arrive on June 30, 2017 before it was dropped.
In late July it was confirmed The Grey writer and director Joe Carnahan would pen the script for the Uncharted movie, although it didn’t appear he’d be helming it. At the time Carnahan declared he would “love to” direct the film as well but would not be able to unless production was pushed back, due to his commitment to the third Bad Boys film. There’s been no mention of Carnahan taking on Uncharted as director or if his existing directorial duties on Bad Boys For Life may explain Uncharted’s removal from the schedule.
Carnahan has, however, noted on Twitter today that he's very happy with his planned opening sequence.
The opening scene for UNCHARTED...at least in script form, is really, REALLY GOOD.

The big-screen adaptation of Uncharted has been gestating in Hollywood since 2009. Over the past seven years directors David O. Russell (Three Kings), Neil Burger (Limitless), and Seth Gordon (Horrible Bosses) have been attached to (and have subsequently left) the project.
Earlier this year Naughty Dog’s Neil Druckmann explained the developer has only been “somewhat involved” in the development of the Uncharted film.
“Every once in a while they’ll come in and they’ll present to us: here’s the script, here’s what we’re thinking. We’ll tell them what we think works, what we think doesn’t work,” said Druckmann, adding that the most important element for them is that the relationship between Nate, Elena, and Sully is just right.
“If you don’t get that right, I don’t think the film’s going to work. If you get that core right, there’s a chance it could work.”
