It seems that Sony has plans to take advantage of another of its most iconic videogame franchises for a television or film adaptation: Jak & Daxter. Uncharted director Ruben Fleischer has confirmed that he is currently working with PlayStation on a game adaptation platform.
“I’m working on Jak & Daxter, a version of Jak & Daxter for PlayStation, which I think would be really cool to bring to life,” Fleischer told Digital Trends in an interview promoting Uncharted. Sony has not made any official announcements about it for the moment.
Jak and Daxter is another series from Uncharted developer Naughty Dog and was particularly popular in the PlayStation 2 era. It is an action-platformer featuring Jak, an elven hero, and his half-weasel, half-seal partner Daxter. Despite its popularity in the 2000s, there hasn’t been a new installment in the series since 2009.
The information shared by the Uncharted director is especially surprising because it comes shortly after a statement from Tom Holland – who plays Nathan Drake in the Uncharted film – who explained that he would like to star in a Jak & Daxter film: it is possible that his not was a joke but is there something under it?
