Uncharted: Why The Movie Couldn't Directly Adapt The Games

Though the Uncharted movie was criticized for not being faithful enough to the source material, there's a good reason that it couldn't directly adapt the video games' story. After the massive success of the Uncharted video game franchise, a movie adaptation always seemed inevitable. The action-adventure nature of Uncharted's story and the globe-trotting stories of the games felt like a cinematic experience from the very beginning, making it appear as though Nathan Drake was always destined for the big screen. However, even as the game franchise went from strength to strength, the development of an Uncharted movie adaptation repeatedly stalled.
