It’s game over for Shawn Levy and Uncharted. The director has left the video game adaptation to make another film, a film that just so happens to also be about video games.
That movie is called Free Guy and Fox has given it a green light to go into production in April of next year. It’s based on a 2016 Black List script by Matt Lieberman, and is about about a bank teller (played by Ryan Reynolds) who realizes that he’s actually a non-playable character in an open world video game. He then teams up with a human’s avatar to try and save the game and the world.

According to Variety, Trachtenberg’s arrival on the project has not changed the direction the film’s story was heading under Levy—which means that Tom Holland is still scheduled to star, and the film will be loosely inspired by flashback moments from the third game in the series, Drake’s Deception, which followed a young Nathan Drake as he first met the man that would become his adventuring partner-in-crime, Victor “Sully” Sullivan.
