Uncharted's Opening Cutscene Recreated In Real Life

What would Uncharted: Drake's Fortune's opening scene look like in real life? That's the challenge a group of European filmmakers recently took on, this week releasing a short film--called Uncharted: Ambushed--based on the PlayStation 3 game's opening cutscene.

"We worked very hard on this and we are very proud of the result, and we hope fellow Uncharted fans will like as much as we did making it," filmmaker Martin Sofiedal says.

The impressively produced video is in another language, though there are subtitles. It's not a shot-for-shot remake of the game's opening scene (see below), but it's well-made and makes me hopeful that the Uncharted movie does in fact one day happen.

The short film has drawn the praise of one high-ranking Naughty Dog developer, Neil Druckmann, who tweeted: "I <.3 it!" Druckmann is currently co-directing 2015's Uncharted 4: A Thief's End.
