Sony’s Uncharted movie, which has seemingly been in the making for an eternity, is on the back burner yet again.
According to Eurogamer, the latest script for the film has been returned to “development” and director Seth Gordon (pictured below) has quit the project.
Sony chief Tom Rothman had been weighing the fate of the project since he took over the reins of the studio. Rather than slash the budget, he decided to take the project in a new creative direction, which prompted Gordon’s exit.
According to the Wrap, Sony is seeking a major star for Uncharted, which plays like a riff on the “Indiana Jones” franchise.
So if you are planning on catching the Uncharted movie anytime soon, don’t get your hopes up. With no director and no lead, this movie is in the dust for now.
