The film is based on the PlayStation video game series that follows the adventures of treasure hunter Nathan Drake (Holland).
"Uncharted" will chronicle Drake's first encounter with the professional rogue Sullivan.
Art Marcum and Matt Holloway, best known for "Iron-Man" films and Rafe Judkins have written the film.
Atlas Entertainment's Charles Roven and Alex Gartner are producing, along with Arad Productions' Avi Arad and Ari Arad for Arad Productions.
The film is slated to be released on December 18 next year.
