Good video game adaptations are rare, as if a curse hovers around these projects, despite the recent successes of The Last of Us and of Super Mario Bros. the movie, which finally seem to reverse the trend. In 2022, Sony Pictures decides to undertake the adaptation of one of its flagship video game franchises: Unexplored. For the occasion, the studio hires the director Ruben Fleischer (Welcome to Zombieland, Poison) to lead this adventure. As for the casting, Mark Wahlberg is chosen for the role of Sully, while Tom Holland plays Nathan Drake.
The film, quite faithful to video games, a sort of modern day Indiana Jones, received mixed reviews from critics. As for the box office, the feature still brings more than 407 million dollars of recipe. However, as it stands, we still don’t know if Sony will extend the saga with a sequel.
Soon a unexplored 2 ?

The production of unexplored 2 it hasn’t officially launched yet. But all the lights are green. It remains to wait for the end of the writers’ and actors’ strikes that are currently shaking Hollywood.
