Dan Trachtenberg, who broke out with "10 Cloverfield Lane," will direct Sony Pictures' adaptation of the hit video game "
Uncharted."
Trachtenberg replaces Shawn Levy, who had to depart the project due to scheduling conflicts. Sony has been hoping to work with Trachtenberg since "10 Cloverfield Lane" opened in 2016.
"
Uncharted" is based on the PlayStation video game series that follows the adventures of treasure hunter Nathan Drake. The film stars
Tom Holland and chronicles Drake's first encounter with the professional rogue Sullivan. Sony has been trying to get the film off the ground for quite a while, originally going with veteran actors like Mark Wahlberg. After the success of "Spider-Man: Homecoming," the studio began scouring the development slate to find Holland's next project and decided a younger Drake character would work out well.
