A Jak & Daxter Movie Is Actually In Development

Ruben Fleischer, the director of the upcoming Uncharted movie, has revealed that he's also working on a Jak and Daxter adaptation.

Are you getting de-ja-vu? No, I promise this isn’t a repost. Not even a week ago, Tom Holland revealed in an interview that he’d like to make a Jak and Daxter movie, and now, it’s been confirmed that one is actually in the works. Huh.

In an interview with Digital Trends, the director behind the upcoming Uncharted movie, Ruben Fleischer, revealed he’s currently working with PlayStation on a screen adaptation for the classic platformer: “I’m actually working on Jak and Daxter, a version of that, for PlayStation, which I think would be really cool to bring to life,” he said.

While you're here, be sure to check out this clip from Uncharted, which is out in UK cinemas tomorrow.

So, that’s a thing. Getting back to the Tom Holland situation, it remains to be seen whether it was pure coincidence that he’d expressed an interest in making the movie happen, too: “I would like to make a Jak and Daxter movie, and I would play Jak,” he said in an interview with GameSpot a few days ago. “But I would make it at A24, so it was really weird and like dark. I would do like a really weird, live-action version of Jak and Daxter.”

Holland, of course, has the starring role of Nathan Drake in Uncharted, so it seems like he would genuinely be a prime candidate for playing Jak, given that it’s set to be made by the very same director. That said, it seems unlikely that he’d have said anything about a Jak and Daxter adaptation at all if he actually knew anything about it (although he does have a track record of spilling secrets, so it wouldn’t be completely out of the way).

Fleischer didn’t give any word on when we can expect this movie to come out, just that it is in the works. This will be yet another Naughty Dog game to receive a screen adaptation, joining the ranks of Uncharted and The Last of Us (the series is set to air on HBO, probably some time next year). Speaking of Uncharted, that’s out in UK cinemas tomorrow (18 February in the US), so fans can get ready for that (for better or worse).
