Over half a year before Holland's involvement was announced, Sony Pictures set Shawn Levy (best known for helming the Night At The Museum trilogy, Real Steel, and several Stranger Things episodes) to direct Uncharted.

With this announcement, Levy became the latest in a long line of directors circulating the gestating adaptation, following the likes of David O. Russell, Neil Burger and Seth Gordon, all of whom were set to direct before exiting for unknown reasons.

But so far, Levy has stayed onboard. His involvement was announced in October 2016 and it seems like he's fully invested in seeing the project through, so if all goes well, this is the man who'll bring Nathan Drake to the big screen for the first time ever.

Danny has been with WhatCulture for over ten years, and is currently Doctor Who Editor and WhoCulture Channel Manager, overseeing all of WhatCulture's Whoniverse coverage. He has been writing and video editing since his early teens, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers, off the back of a burning obsession with the Matt Smith era of the show. Like many his age, he first got into Doctor Who with the 2005 revival, but has since gone back and fallen in love with the classic years too. If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order, or to give you a random factoid about the making of Gridlock, Danny is the person to ask!
