Uncharted has borrowed a lot more from the video games than we thought.
During a new interview, 25-year-old Uncharted star Tom Holland revealed that you’ve probably seen some of his fight moves before. “There are moves in the film which are stolen straight from the game,” he revealed.
He then went on to demonstrate one of them. “There's stuff like that that we stole, but the balance of trying to make it look really cool while also being believable was tricky, and there's some creative freedom that we took.”
But it’s not just the fighting you’ll recognize from the games.
Appearing in a recent trailer, the cargo plane sequence was one of the toughest stunts Holland has ever filmed. But it’s also one of the multiple scenes which are clearly based on the video games – in this case, mirroring the impressive action sequence in Uncharted 3.
“The hand-to-hand stuff is really, really cool,” said director Ruben Fleischer. “But it’s worth talking about the sequence out of the back of the plane. That’s the one that truly we just wanted to take a moment that everyone would recognize from the games and then try and bring it to life on the screen.”
Here, we see Nathan Drake (played by Tom Holland) falling out of the back of a cargo plane… and then desperately scrambling across cargo crates to clamber his way back inside. It certainly is impressive.
“It’s one of the most iconic from the Uncharted series,” said Naughty Dog president, Neil Druckmann. “It was so thrilling when Nate hits that crate and spins in the air – I’ve never seen anything like that in a video game. And it’s playable. You remove the interactive part and now you’ve got to make it even more exciting, visually.”
Tom Holland stars as Nathan Drake alongside Mark Wahlberg as Sully. Joining them are Sophia Ali as a fellow treasure hunter and love interest Chloe Frazer, Tati Gabrielle as Braddock, and Antonio Banderas as the film’s currently unnamed (but presumably badass) villain.
Uncharted is directed by Ruben Fleischer, and based on a script by Rafe Judkins, Art Marcum, and Matt Holloway.
