Jordan Moreau SPOILER ALERT: Do not read if you have not watched “Uncharted,” now playing in theaters.In Sony’s “Uncharted” movie, “Spider-Man” star Tom Holland plays treasure hunter Nathan Drake from the popular PlayStation video game series; however, there would be no Drake without actor Nolan North, who voiced and performed motion capture for the video game icon for nearly 10 years.In fact, many “Uncharted” fans wanted North himself to star in an adaptation for years, but the actor has one simple response to that.“People think, ‘It should’ve been you.’ No, it shouldn’t. I’m 51,” North told Variety.Fortunately for fans, North has a brief, but memorable cameo in the “Uncharted” adaptation, right after Holland’s Drake and Sophia Ali’s Chloe Frazer survive plummeting from a cargo plane thousands of feet in the air.
The sequence, inspired by an action set piece in “Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception,” begins with Drake stowing away in the trunk of a car being loaded into a plane in order to steal an ancient artifact. In true video-game fashion, a shootout ensues aboard the plane, and massive shipping containers are jettisoned mid-flight.
Thrown from the cargo bay, Drake hangs on to a container for dear life, climbing and battling mercenaries along the way. Right before he makes it back into the plane, Chloe, armed with a parachute, hops into the car and drives it out the cargo bay door — directly into Drake.
The pair of treasure hunters plummet down, a breathtaking and seamless sequence that appears as if it were shot in one take. They manage to latch onto a piece of luggage mid-fall and deploy a parachute, allowing them to float down to the water and bob on the waves.
