Below is a spoiler-free interview with the director of Uncharted, Ruben Fleischer. The film hits theaters in the US on February 18th.
The story of the Uncharted film has been a long one, with the adaptation of the Sony action-adventure game taking over 14 years to make its way to the big screen. After being announced for the first time all the way back in 2008, fans can finally check out the movie after its years stuck in development hell.
To get a feel of what we can expect from the long-anticipated film, IGN sat down with director Ruben Fleischer to discuss the challenges of the movie, adapting beloved properties, and what kind of Easter Eggs game fans can keep their eyes peeled for.
IGN: So in that same vein, will the future of the franchise mirror the games or will we start to shift away from it?
Ruben Fleischer: I don't know if it will ever mirror the games, because my attitude towards adaptations is, if you just want a straight carbon copy of what exists in the source material, then there's no need to adapt it or make something new. Video games are so immersive and satisfying in their own right, and with Uncharted especially being so cinematic and entertaining, I think it would be a bit tedious to just recreate them as a film. I think we'll always be borrowing aspects of it but also be forging our own storylines and adventures if we're lucky enough to get to continue telling the story.
IGN: With that borrowing in mind, should fans be on the lookout for Easter eggs?
Ruben Fleischer: Yeah. The Uncharted fans will be hopefully thrilled to find Easter eggs sprinkled throughout the movie. There's one big one that I'm sure you recognized, as many fans will, but throughout the movie, whether it's quotes that Nate says that are directly taken from the source material, there's some signage, there's stickers, there's all kinds of hidden treasures throughout this movie that people can go on their own hunt for.
