Uncharted Movie: Tom Holland says the way he approached the performance was a ‘mistake’

Tom Holland said his approach to playing Nathan Drake in the upcoming Unexplored movie may have been an “error”. In an interview with GQ, Holland has been considering his role in the movie Uncharted, now dated 2022, and shared his own personal concerns regarding his acting performance. He said he felt like at times he “kind of fell under the spell” of focusing on how he looked in certain shots rather than channeling all of his focus just into playing the character.

“As soon as you start worrying about ‘Am I good in this picture? playing becomes something other than playing a character, ”Holland told the post. “I think there are elements of my performance in Uncharted where I fell in love with being,“ I want to look good now. I want this to be my cool moment. “I had to play this very tough, very stoic guy – basically, being Mark Wahlberg.”

He added that the experience taught him an “important lesson” about his attitude towards certain elements of the role. He admitted that while he has yet to see if he has managed to deliver Nate’s great ‘action hero’ moments, he would likely consider taking a different approach to the way he plays. these types of characters in the future.

“My character is supposed to be an action hero ** king right now!” he explained further. “Look, I haven’t seen it so I don’t know if I was successful. But that was an important lesson learned, because sometimes it was less about scoring and going through that scene and more on branding yourself, stand up like that and see my bulging biceps … It was a mistake and it’s something I’ll probably never do again. “

Despite criticizing one aspect of his performance, Holland shared a few promising updates throughout the film’s various stages of production. The actor expressed his optimism for the project from the start, saying the film appeal to a wider audience as it is an origin story, then, as the shoot began, he said that the shooting “went so well” and that was all he “dreamed of”.

They say the movie Uncharted is “just the start” of Sony’s efforts to expand into new media. Late last year, Sony Pictures CEO Tony Vinciquerra revealed his studio was developing 10 video game adaptations, including seven TV shows and three movies based on PlayStation properties, although he did not specify whether Uncharted was included in that tally.
