Tom Holland's 'Uncharted' generates huge buzz; to release in India on Feb 18

Hollywood star Tom Holland has quickly emerged as one of Hollywood’s most exciting and versatile young actors. 'The Spider-Man: No Way Home' actor is now all set for yet another action-adventure 'Uncharted,' which is being directed by Ruben Fleischer. The actor plays young treasure hunter Nathan Drake in the film, which has been jointly bankrolled by Columbia Pictures in collaboration with Arad Productions, Atlas Entertainment and PlayStation Productions.Sony Pictures Entertainment is distributing the film in India.
'Uncharted' will release in four languages- English, Hindi, Tamil and Telugu on February 18. The film tells the story about street-smart Nathan Drake (Tom Holland), who is recruited by seasoned treasure hunter Victor 'Sully' Sullivan (Mark Wahlberg) to recover a fortune, amassed by Ferdinand Magellan and lost 500 years ago by the House of Moncada. The Telugu version of the trailer received a roaring response from the audiences as well as critics.
As a veteran of the Spider-Man movies, Tom Holland is well-versed in filming the action, but from the very beginning, it was clear to him that Uncharted would require its own approach.
''It was exciting to have the opportunity to bring a character like this to life – to explore the action sequences and figure out what he could do and what he couldn’t. We must have shot that for four or five weeks, almost every day,'' says Holland.
He said, ''At times, I’d be like a hundred feet in the air, attached to a spinning box, and I would have to hang on until it would throw me off. The wires would catch me – and that was scary, but it made the scene that much more authentic. We were really pushing the boundaries of what we’ve seen before in cinema, and paying respect to the incredible action sequences from the games.''

Holland says that to pull it off, he trained as hard or harder for Uncharted as he has for the Spider-Man films. ''At first, I trained for agility. And then I stood next to Mark and realized how big he is,'' he says. ''I realized, man, I need to put on some timber because otherwise, I’m going to look like his nephew. I trained my ass off – I was eating as much as I could. So, when Mark said, ‘Wow, you’ve really put some size on, well done,’ I was so flattered.''
