While the preface for the long-awaited Uncharted movie is more than a decade old at this point, the film has continuously faced delays in the production’s box office release. Prior to the July 2021 schedule for the film adaptation, Uncharted was expected to hit theaters in March of this year. However, even the rescheduling for this summer has now been ushered to a new date outside of this year altogether.
In a new report transcribed by The Hollywood Reporter, Sony announces a handful of films being pushed to a later date. Among productions such as Ghostbusters: Afterlife, No Time To Die, Peter Rabbit: The Runaway, and Cinderella, the Tom Holland & Mark Wahlberg-starring film is now being set to release in 2022.
Originally, the movie was set to release on July 16 later this year, but now, fans that waited for more than two PlayStation lifespans are told the film is now hitting theaters in February next year.
“Sony further revealed that it is pushing Uncharted out of 2021 entirely. The video game adaptation, which stars Tom Holland as treasure hunter Nathan Drake, is moving from July 16 to Feb. 11, 2022. The film will screen in Imax and large premium format screens, and also stars Mark Wahlberg.”
In the past month or so, Sony Pictures and PlayStation Pictures issued new information alongside pictures for the coming video game-adapted film. Among that, the production also finished up filming as post-production commenced in December as well. Which makes the recent delay of the film even more surprising.
Interesting enough, Sony Interactive Entertainment President & CEO Jim Ryan issued that Uncharted and the upcoming HBO The Last of Us show is the start of something greater from PlayStation Pictures. It is presumed more PlayStation-oriented entertainment is on the horizon for the coming future from Ryan’s statement. You can read the full report by heading here.
