Uncharted Movie Loses Another Director; Tom Holland Still Playing Nathan Drake

For the fourth time, Sony’s Uncharted movie is in search of a new director. Director Dan Trachtenberg, who was brought in on January 2019 after director Shawn Levy stepped down, has left the project.

According to Deadline, Sony Pictures is already in search of Trachtenberg’s replacement and plans on bringing in a new filmmaker by the end of September. Tom Holland is still attached to star as Uncharted protagonist Nathan Drake–albeit a younger, less experienced version of the video game character. Production on the Uncharted movie is scheduled to begin early 2020.

This is the second time in as many days that issues have arisen in a major Sony project associated with Holland. Disney and Sony have come to an impasse in regards to the Spider-Man movie franchise, resulting in Marvel Studios chief Kevin Feige being removed from future Spidey films. Whether Holland’s Spider-Man remains in the MCU remains to be seen, though the language used to describe the tear in Disney and Sony’s partnership seems to imply that will not be the case. Given how Spider-Man: Far From Home ended, it’s going to be interesting to see how the MCU may be restructured if Holland’s removal does actually happen.

Prior to Levy, The King of Kong’s Seth Gordon was signed on as director for Uncharted. Limitless’ Neil Burger and Silver Linings Playbook’s David O. Russell have also been at the helm of Uncharted at one point. Like the director’s chair, the pen behind the script has switched hands a few times too. The first draft was penned by The A-Team’s Joe Carnahan, but his draft was replaced by a submission from Agents of Shield writer Rafe Judkins. That draft didn’t survive long either, being replaced by another written in conjunction between Jonathan Rosenberg and Mark Walker.

Westworld Awakening Is a New VR Game Where You Play a Self-Aware Host

HBO has partnered with VR developer Survios on a new Westworld VR video game called Westworld Awakening. And it’s available right now on Oculus, Vive, and over 400 VR Arcades.

In Westworld Awakening players will take on the role of Kate, a host who wakes up with a newfound self-awareness. Using a QA tablet, players must navigate Delos labs during the events of Westworld season 2, solving puzzles and interacting with other hosts using the tablet.

HBO says Westworld Awakening is a narrative-driven, single-player stealth game. That’s because players will wake up next to Hank, a serial killer host who will stalk Kate throughout the Delos labs.

Westworld Season 2 ended last year with Dolores seemingly escaping into the real world, and the fate of several key hosts ending on a cliffhanger. HBO says Westworld Awakening is set during the events of this season, so it’s very possible Kate can interact with some of the events that occurred in the past season.

Dark Crystal Offers Solid Tactics Game But May Release Too Late

The Dark Crystal was one of my favorite childhood movies – even though it was objectively terrifying – so it should come as no surprise that the news of the Netflix series was a joyous occasion. During the E3 announcement for BonusXP’s tactics game, The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance Tactics, I was one of (maybe) two people in our office who audibly WHOO’d when Aughra showed up during the Nintendo press conference.

8 Marvel Characters Who Could Fill in for Spider-Man in the MCU

With negotiations between Sony and Disney breaking down, all signs point to Tom Holland’s Spider-Man vanishing from the MCU. And unlike Avengers: Endgame, there may be no bringing him back this time.

The silver lining to this news is that Marvel has plenty of other heroes who can fill the void left by Spider-Man. From Ms. Marvel to Kitty Pryde to Nova, these heroes can lead the MCU forward while tapping into what makes Spider-Man great.

Ms. Marvel
