A brand-new BTS video offers a glimpse at a sword fight between Nathan Drake and Sully, played by Tom Holland and Mark Wahlberg in the upcoming video game adaptation Uncharted. The film, based on the highly successful video game of the same name, tells the story of Nathan and his mentor Victor Sullivan, or Sully as they seek to find hidden treasure in lost and ‘uncharted’ cities across the globe. Developed by Naughty Dog, the video game series has been an incredibly popular one among fans, with their reactions to this upcoming adaptation remaining rather mixed at this stage.
The film has had a bumpy road throughout its production, but many were delighted at the release of an official trailer that appeared to confirm that a number of scenes within the film would mirror those of fan-favorite missions within the games. The film itself is set to be action-packed, as Nathan and Sully are likely to meet a number of rival treasure hunters and wicked thieves along the way. The trailer also showed off some incredible locations, all while teasing some impressive actions sequences.
Now, PlayStation have released an exciting behind the scenes video, which offers a number of other teases for the upcoming release. The video shares a mix of film footage and behind the scenes shots, alongside Holland and Wahlberg providing some more context for the film. Amongst the clips, Holland can be seen scaling a rather large ship mast, as well as engaging in a sword fight with Sully. Check out the full video below.
Since the release of the trailer, Holland’s age and appearance within the film have been part of a fairly prominent topic of conversation, with many feeling as though the Spider-Man: No From Home actor is too young to play the character of Nathan Drake, who in the games is believed to be around 35 years old. While the release of this teaser is unlikely to sway those who aren’t so sure of Holland’s abilities when it comes to this character, it certainly shows the star’s commitment to the role and it appears as though he is truly throwing himself into embracing those key elements that make Drake such an interesting and fun character.
It will certainly be exciting to see these shots come to life on the big screen and considering Holland’s promise of an “adventure of a lifetime” it seems as though audiences could be in for a real treat. Fans of the games have already been digging through the trailer, likening scenes to that of their favorite game sequences and that’s only likely to continue when the film officially releases. With Uncharted now just a few months away, there isn’t long to go until audiences finally get their hands on this long-awaited adaptation.
