The project, despite being postponed over and over again due to the ongoing pandemic, is finally coming to theaters around the world and one of the directors of Naughty Dog, the company behind the original video game, has had his say on several issues. of the film.
First of all, Kurt Margenau, behind projects like the recent The Last of Us: Part 2, explained that he is thrilled that Holland plays the protagonist, even if unfortunately he did not have the opportunity to preview the film, hence his hype. it is growing more and more. Below is all his speech, reported by ComicBook on behalf of Games Radar.
The two of us are not directly involved in this. And, you know, I'm thrilled to see Tom Holland's version of the character. I don't know anything other than the trailers we showed. I'm just excited. It's like he's finally here! We have Uncharted on the big screen and it won't change directors again, and it won't be in development for much longer. And I think Tom Holland is a great choice. And they get their inspiration from games, so it's really satisfying to see him hit the big screen.
