Holland told IGN, “Mark Wahlberg is going to be amazing as Sully. The stunt department that we have out there in Berlin have done an amazing job already, prepping the stunts, and it’s going to be an exciting one.”
For those wondering if this movie is going to directly mimic any of the Uncharted games, Holland says that this will be a fresh take. But, that’s not to say the film won’t carry the essence of those wildly popular adventures. That’s probably a good idea because the fanbase has been vocal about Sony getting this stuff right. Hewing close to the source material paid off for that Tomb Raider movie not too long ago.
“There was definitely a lot of inspiration that came from the games, but it’s a very young, fresh take on the character because, obviously, we didn’t get to meet him all that much when he was younger,” Holland said. “But it’s a pretty awesome movie, and it’s global. We travel the world, we see some amazing places, and Mark Wahlberg and I are going to have a great summer together.”
