Uncharted Director Breaks Down How Nathan Drake's Plane Stunt Was Filmed
Director Ruben Fleischer breaks down how the plane stunt scene from his upcoming movie, Uncharted, was filmed. Uncharted sees Tom Holland star in the leading role as adventurer and explorer, Nathan Drake. In the film, Drake is recruited by his mentor, Victor Sullivan (Mark Wahlberg), to locate the fabled treasure of the Magellan expedition. Along the way, Drake will have to race against Santiago Moncada (Antonio Banderas) and Jo Braddock (Tati Gabrielle) to get to the treasure first.
Sony's latest film is based off of their video game series of the same name, which was developed by Naughty Dog studios. The action-adventure game series first released back in 2007 for the PlayStation 3, under the name of Uncharted: Drake's Fortune. Since then, the series has expanded to three additional sequels, ending with Uncharted 4: A Thief's End in 2016. The entire series has been universally praised by fans and critics, as well as shipped more than 41 million units, easily making it one of the best-selling video game franchises of all time. Every new entry in the Uncharted franchise has seen Drake on his hunt for treasure, while also coming face-to-face with plenty of action sequences. It seems the upcoming film will follow in those same footsteps.
