Tom Holland Says Uncharted Has a Solution to the Video Game Movie Problem
Actor Tom Holland is set to star as a young Nathan Drake in the upcoming Uncharted movie based on the hit video game series. While Uncharted has had numerous production delays, Holland remains optimistic about the project. In fact, Holland says that their approach to the Uncharted movie will solve one of Hollywood’s toughest questions: how do you make a successful video game movie adaptation? While a few video game movies have managed to please audiences over the years, such as last year’s charming Pokemon: Detective Pikachu, generally they tend to disappoint viewers and under-perform at the box office, but Holland thinks that they’ve figured out the right approach for Uncharted.
“I think what Uncharted offers that most video games films don't is that it's an origin story to the games,” Holland told IGN. “So if you played the games, you haven't seen what's going to happen in the film. And if you haven't played the games, you're going to enjoy the film because it's information that everyone else is getting at the same time. But I'm super excited to make that movie and it's been a long time coming.”

Holland’s casting in the role of Nathan Drake raised some eyebrows because the boyish Spider-Man actor seems years away from resembling the roguish treasure hunter, but it turns out that was done on purpose. Holland intends to show the beginnings of the character in order to tell the story of how he eventually becomes the man gamers are familiar with.
Holland was enthusiastic about the latest script from writer Joe Carnahan, saying, “I read the newest draft of the script on the way over here and it's one of the best scripts I've ever read. It really, really jumps off the page.”
He also praised his co-star Mark Wahlberg, who will be playing Nathan Drake’s mentor. “I think Mark Wahlberg's going to kill it as Sully and it's going to be a lot of fun,” he said.

Uncharted lost its sixth director in December 2019 when Bumblebee’s Travis Knight dropped out, reportedly because there was a scheduling conflict caused by Holland’s Spider-Man commitments. The Uncharted movie was recently pushed back to a March 5, 2021 release date, but a new director has yet to be named by Sony. The latest rumor says Venom director Reuben Fleischer is in talks to come on as the new Uncharted director.

Jurassic World 3 to Bring Back Two Characters From Jurassic World
Jake Johnson and Omar Sy, who both appeared in 2015's Jurassic World, have signed on to reprise their roles for Jurassic World 3.
As reported by THR, Johnson and Sy will be joining Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, Mamoudou Athie, DeWanda Wise, Justice Smith, and Daniella Pineda in this latest entry. Furthermore, they will be joining returning original Jurassic Park cast members like Laura Dern, Sam Neill, and Jeff Goldblum.
The last time we saw Jake Johnson's Lowery Crythers and Omar Sy's Barry Sembene, they were evacuating the island after the disastrous events of Jurassic World.
[ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2018/06/23/jurassic-world-3-where-does-the-franchise-go-from-here"]
Cruthers was a "sardonic control room operator" for the Jurassic Park theme park island while Sembene was a velociraptor trainer and colleague of Chris Pratt's Owen Grady.
Johnson was a co-star on Fox's New Girl and also voiced Peter Parker in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, and Sy starred in The Intouchables and has lent his voice to such films as Transformers: The Last Knight.
Jurassic World 3, which is said to be more like the original Jurassic Park than the two films before it, will be directed by Colin Trevorrow, who was once set to direct Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.
[widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=the-best-deaths-in-the-jurassic-park-movies&captions=true"]
This newest Jurassic World film is set to be released in theaters on June 11, 2021. For more, check out Jeff Goldblum's and Sam Neill's reactions to returning to the franchise, and read about a newly discovered Tyrannosaur species in real life that was dubbed the "Reaper of Death."

Lucifer Season 6: Netflix Reportedly in Talks to Extend Show Beyond S5
Netflix has reportedly entered talks with Warner Bros. to extend Lucifer beyond its planned fifth and "final" season.
According to TVLine, Netflix is considering resurrecting the supernatural drama for a sixth season despite it being previously announced that the devil's reign would be coming to an end after Season 5.
[ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/02/01/new-to-netflix-for-february-2020"]
The fifth season of Lucifer was originally set to be a 10-episode run, but Netflix significantly expanded the episode count while the show was still in production, ordering six additional episodes to take the grand total up to 16 episodes, which are set to be split across two parts on the streamer.
This expansion of episodes served as a potential indication that the writers required a little more scope to tell the story and wrap up all of the loose threads from the fourth season of the series, loosely based on Neil Gaiman's depiction of the Devil from the Sandman comic book and its spinoff Lucifer.
[widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=the-best-netflix-original-movies-and-tv-shows&captions=true"]
However, it now seems that Netflix might be swooping in to save the fallen angel with a Season 6 renewal, offering the team the opportunity to expand the story even further. This is great news for Lucifans who have been campaigning for the show's continuation ever since it was cancelled by Fox after just three seasons on the air.
In our review of Lucifer Season 4, we called it "Great" saying "Netflix's Lucifer has a shorter season and a tighter arc, but the campy show retains the humor and naughtiness we love."
