With 'Uncharted' and soon 'The Last of Us' for HBO, game studio Naughty Dog is ready for its Hollywood closeup. Gamer movie star Tom Holland sees the future.

for Paramount+, and months before HBO, with Druckmann’s heavy involvement, launches a series based on the somber, traumatic, zombie-inspired game “The Last of Us.”

Holland wasn’t the first actor attached to “Uncharted,” which has been in development for about 10 years. His desire to play the character, however, awakened his own yearning to see the world. Asked specifically what drew him to Drake, Holland is blunt and isn’t afraid to say there was a hint of selfishness motivating his push to get this film made.

Straley, who left Naughty Dog, partially due to burnout, shortly after the release of “Uncharted 4,” explains that some Naughty Dog staff “were so adamant about losing the characterization and fun in video games that we had in ‘Jak and Daxter’ that they were appalled we would use motion capture. It would ‘restrict them as animators and creators.’ OK. It wasgrounded of a game, but it’s not grounded at all, compared to ‘The Last of Us’ or more games that have come out.

“What intrigued me most ... was his sense of adventure and where that would take me”: Tom Holland on playing “Uncharted’s” protagonist Nathan Drake. After all, one of the film’s primary action scenes comes straight from “Uncharted 3,” a midair jump-and-fight segment amid cargo trailing an airplane. It’s unlikely any human would survive such a moment. In the game it works, as we’re in control of the character and see only the exaggerated action for the absurdly embellished set piece that it is.
