The first trailer has been released for the upcoming video game movie adaptation of developer Naughty Dogs hit series Uncharted
The movie is directed by Ruben Fleischer and stars Tom Holland as the main character Nathan Drake and Mark Wahlberg as his mentor Victor 'Sully' Sullivan.
It looks like the movie might actually stay close to the plot of the games, and from the look of the trailer many of the iconic scenes from the games are recreated.
The movie is set for a February 18th release across the globe providing there are no more delays in releases.
The first image of Tom Holland from the movie adaption of the Playstation video game Uncharted has been released which can be checked out below.
The Spider-man: Far From Home actor plays a younger version of the main character Nathan Drake in an Uncharted origins movie, something only touched on in the games.
The games heavily influenced by the Tomb Raider series which has a sequel to Tomb Raider due early next year, this is heavily influenced by the Indiana Jones series, Indiana Jones 5 is due 2022 so there is plenty of tomb raiding adventures on the horizon.
Also starring in the movie is Mark Wahlberg as Nathans friend and mentor Victor Sullivan, the story will in part focus on how the two met.
The movie is being directed by Ruben Fleischer (Zombieland) and has a current release date of 16th July 2021, but with the back catalogue of 2020 film to be released this could move.
Also popping up in the movie, most likely as the bad guy is Antonio Banderas
We only have to wait until 16th March to find out what the reboot of Tomb Raider is like, and judging from the trailers for fans of the games its looking good.
The BBFC have given the film a 12A certificate for moderate violence, threat, injury detail.

No Angelina Jolie this time as the Tomb Raider franchise reboot gets its first poster.
Where as the first two movies from 2001/2003 had an air of old Lara Croft about them, this definitely has a Square Enix feel.
To explain Core Design developed the games until 2003 when Square Enix took over development.
The games reboot had a very different look and feel with a younger looking Lara, the new film starring Alicia Vikander has that, check out the poster below.

This week is a big week in the gaming world, the annual E3 (Electronic Entertainment Expo) conference is taking place in LA, a conference when all the big players in the gaming industry boast about their year and give loose forecasts of new games coming to their platforms for the following year.
The Expo is also a platform for new hardware, and although 2 of the big players, Microsoft and Sony, only had hardware to show off in the form of additions to existing hardware or revamped current hardware, industry leader Nintendo had a small ace up it's sleeve.
Nintendo by far has and does rule the hand held market and this year they are releasing a sequel to their best selling Nintendo DS handheld gaming console. The new twist on the console it that it has a 3 inch 3D top screen as well as the small bottom touch screen, and adding another twist the 3D screen does not require glasses.
All's well so far, all game news so far, what makes this even more interesting is that Nintendo has signed a deal with the likes of Warner Bros. and Disney to release movies in 3D on the device, not that raises the game even more.
On display in LA at the expo in form of a demonstration of this is Dreamworks How to Train Your Dragon, a recent 3D animated film, and although the 3D effect takes a little getting used to it works, but only for depth, which as James Cameron, director of Avatar, says is a large part of 3D, it's not all about things flying out of the screen at you.
This is exciting news, one which I expect will be used mainly by kinds, hence the studios involved and the kinds of films they are releasing. If proved successful this could pave the way for greater things, another example of the games industry leading the way of the films industry.
