Sony Greenlights Sequel for 'Uncharted' Movie

'Uncharted' Receives Mixed Reviews for Video Game Fans
"Uncharted" is based on the video game of the same name developed by Naughty Dog. The first movie served as the prequel to the video games with the premise focused on young Nathan Drake and his early adventures.
The film followed Tom Holland, who played Drake's character, as he got recruited by Sullivan to search for the lost fortune of the House of Moncada. Despite, praises for Holland's portrayal fans felt that the film failed to capture the true spirit of the video game.
Regardless, the film performed well at the box office and earned more than $400 million against the $120 million budget. Some fans are suggesting that there could be a time jump from the prequel to the games for the next movie.
Sony has yet to announce further details about the movie.
