Bringing Uncharted to the Big Screen

Uncharted is rolling out in theaters across the globe this week, marking Nathan Drake’s big screen debut. The entire PlayStation Productions team is thrilled to see Uncharted brought to life for movie theater audiences around the world.

Our goal with creating PlayStation Productions was to introduce our unforgettable stories, characters, and worlds to new audiences, by bringing together creators with a passion and respect for the legacy of our gaming IP. So when Sony invited me to be a part of the second instalment of their Creator to Creator series, alongside Naughty Dog and the visionaries behind the Uncharted film, I jumped at the chance. 

I sat down with Naughty Dog Co-President Neil Druckmann, Uncharted movie star Tom Holland and director Ruben Fleischer to discuss bringing one of PlayStation’s most beloved heroes to the silver screen. During our chat, we covered moments from the games that directly inspired the movie, and some of the similarities between Uncharted’s game and film process. I was even surprised to learn that Tom and Neil have a shared gaming history!
