Uncharted director Ruben Fleischer explains how Nolan North's cameo came to be. Voiced by North in the video game series, Tom Holland now stars as the first live-action iteration of Nathan Drake in the new Uncharted movie.

Now that Uncharted is playing in theaters, its cast and crew is finally able to open up about its various video game references and Easter eggs.
