Uncharted Pitch Meeting
Warning: SPOILERS lie ahead for Uncharted
Screen Rant's Pitch Meeting series makes its triumphant return and centers on Uncharted and its money-hungry development and convenient story. The action-adventure movie serves as a prequel to Naughty Dog and Sony's video game franchise of the same name centered around fortune hunter Nathan Drake and his mentor Victor «Sully» Sullivan and their various globe-trotting adventures. Uncharted centers on the origin of Drake as he is taken under Sully's wing to help search for the treasure of the Magellan expedition before corrupt billionaire Santiago Moncada and his mercenary Jo Braddock get their hands on it.
Tom Holland and Mark Wahlberg lead the cast of Uncharted as Drake and Sully alongside Antonio Banderas as Moncada, Sophia Ali as fellow fortune hunter Chloe Frazer and Tati Gabrielle as Braddock. After spending a decade in development hell, the film adaptation has finally swung to theaters with Venom director Ruben Fleischer at the helm to a strong box office start, grossing over $145.7 million in its opening weekend. However, unlike Holland's fellow Sony franchise Spider-Man, Uncharted has received a very mixed response from critics.
