Sony’s upcoming adaptation of video game “Uncharted” is about to get bigger, with Mark Wahlberg in final talks to join “Spider-man” star Tom Holland in the cast. Travis Knight (“Bumblebee”) is directing the film.
“Uncharted” follows Nathan Drake, a treasure hunter who journeys across the world to uncover various historical mysteries. Wahlberg will portray Victor “Sully” Sullivan, an American treasure hunter, fortune seeker and businessman, as well as a friend, mentor and father figure to Drake. Holland is set to play Drake. Strangely enough, Wahlberg was originally set to play Drake in the project years back, when David O. Russell was first directing an adaptation.
The “Uncharted” games began in 2007 with “Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune,” and was created by developer Naughty Dog and published by PlayStation. It has sold more than 41 million copies to date.
