Nathan Drake is returning to the big screen for another adventure. At CineEurope, Sony revealed that Uncharted 2, a sequel to 2022’s Uncharted, is in the works (via Variety).

In the live-action adaptation of the Uncharted video game franchise, Tom Holland starred as Nathan “Nate” Drake, a bartender turned treasure hunter who embarks on a quest to find Magellan’s treasure. Mark Wahlberg played Victor “Sully” Sullivan, who recruited Drake to join the treasure hunt. In February 2024, Wahlberg told Screen Rant a script for the sequel was “turned in.” Directed by Ruben Fleischer, Uncharted did good business at the box office, grossing over $405 million against a budget of $120 million.

Also at CineEurope, Sony’s president of international distribution, Steven O’Dell, briefly discussed Quentin Tarantino’s 10th and final movie. Tarantino’s last film was rumored to be The Movie Critic. However, the two-time Oscar winner reportedly scrapped The Movie Critic project entirely, per The Hollywood Reporter. Sony distributed Tarantino’s last film, Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood, so O’Dell hopes Tarantino works with the same studio for his final film.

Uncharted and Tarantino’s final film weren’t the only big projects discussed by Sony at CineEurope. Sony has several noteworthy movies in development, including four movies about the Beatles by Oscar winner Sam Mendes. The audacious plan for the Beatles biopics is for Mendes to produce and direct one film about each band member — John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr. All four films are scheduled to be released in 2027.

Other notable films mentioned during the presentation include 28 Years Later, Danny Boyle’s highly anticipated sequel to 28 Days Later and 28 Weeks Later; Zelda, the live-action adaptation from Wes Ball of Nintendo’s popular video game franchise; SNL 1975, Jason Reitman’s drama about the premiere of Saturday Night Live; and Klara and the Sun, Taika Waititi’s upcoming sci-fi movie starring Jenna Ortega.

Quentin Tarantino calls this Nicolas Cage movie one of the best of the last five years

A man sits at a dinner table in Pig.

Nicolas Cage has a fan in Quentin Tarantino.

Speaking on the Video Archives Podcast, Tarantino spent a segment showering Cage with praise -- and spotlighting one specific movie as his most recent favorite.
“In watching some of the Nic Cage stuff, the one that blew me away was that movie he did, Pig," Tarantino said. "That’s one of the best of the last five years. That’s one of the best movies I’ve seen in the last five years.”
Directed by Michael Sarnoski, Pig stars Cage as Robin "Rob" Feld, an Oregon truffle hunter who returns to Portland to search for the person who kidnapped his pig. Pig garnered significant critical acclaim, and Cage received several acting nominations from critics organizations. Tarantino appreciates Pig's creative direction and how it diverged from Cage's previous work.

Quentin Tarantino is Joker 2’s biggest fan: ‘One of the best performances I’ve ever seen’

Quentin Tarantino smiles on the right while the Joker stands on the right.

Quentin Tarantino has never been afraid to express his opinion. Tarantino's latest statement is about Joker: Folie à Deux, the much-maligned sequel. Not only did Tarantino love the movie but he cited Joaquin's Phoenix acting in Joker 2 as "one of the best performances" he's ever seen in his life.

"I really, really liked it, really. A lot. Like, tremendously, and I went to see it expecting to be impressed by the filmmaking,” Tarantino said in an interview on The Bret Easton Ellis Podcast. "But I thought it was going to be an arms-length, intellectual exercise that ultimately I wouldn’t think worked like a movie, but that I would appreciate it for what it is. And I’m just nihilistic enough to kind of enjoy a movie that doesn’t quite work as a movie or that’s like a big, giant mess to some degree. And I didn’t find it an intellectual exercise. I really got caught up into it. I really liked the musical sequences."
