The movie adaptation of the epic game "Uncharted" has had a rough road to uncharted territories. With no director yet, Charles Roven brings new hope to fans with some updates, but Nolan North talks about a possible fan-wide perspective of not wanting a movie adaptation

Aside from promising an update soon, movie producer and Atlas Entertainment president and founder Charles Roven spilled a few details about the casting in an interview with Collider.

It is noted that there have been rumors about the possibility of fan casting and it 's no secret that a lot of fans are rooting for Nathan Fillion to play the part of Nathan Drake, the pivotal character in the game. Roven clarified the complexity of casting the lead role for a franchise and that in truth, they are not even at that stage yet. According to the producer, fans need to understand there are a lot of elements to casting a role. There is not even a director to begin with.

"In this particular case [Avi and Ari Arad] are producing together with Atlas and that's a partnership, so we all have a vote," he explained. "But we're really not ready to cast that vote yet until we're ready to actually cast, and that's not happened yet."

Speaking of what fans may think, in a previous interview with GameNews Nolan North, the infamous voice behind Nathan Drake, claims fans are not really keen into adapting the video game franchise into the silver screen. Nathan Drake has been the voice for all 4 installments of "Uncharted" and has of course been close to the fans of the cult video game.

" I don't know if it's financially feasible for the studios to make this film any more, personally... The most recent film, Hitman, wasn't received very well and others have not done very well," he said.

HardCore Gamer shares some insights about Nolan North's claims about the point of view of most fans. Fans reportedly love these games because aside from the thrill ride, they are emotionally invested on the stories. Adapting the "Uncharted" story in the silver screen may prove too much of a feat to accomplish. Furthermore, with a rich adventure story line, an accurate adaptation may not be financially feasible.

This may all make sense because the average playtime for "Uncharted 1" is 8 hours where players are immersed in a fictional realm living adventures as if it was theirs. Recreating that in a 2-hour long movie may not meet everyone's expectations.

Regardless of what the voice behind the character thinks, the movie already has a green light. Produced by Atlas Entertainment and Avi and Ari Arad, Sony Pictures announced that "Uncharted" will be released on June 30, 2017.
