Tom Holland Expresses His Wish to Make a „Weird“ Live Action Adaptation of ‘Jak and Daxter’
Tom Holland, famous for his role of Spider-Man in Marvel universe, is now starring in an upcoming action-adventure film Uncharted. Uncharted is a video game adaptation, and the actor is playing Nathan Drake- a street-smart thief.
However, this is not the only video game adaptation Tom Holland would like to star in. In an interview for GameStop, Tom named Jak and Daxter as the next adaptation he would like to be a part of, but was quick to emphasize he would make it really „weird“ and „dark“.
“I would like to make a Jak and Daxter movie, and I would play Jak. 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.“
Jak and Daxter is a video game franchise developed by Naughty Dog and is set in a fictional universe that incorporates cyberpunk, steampunk and science fantasy. The first game, Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy, was released on the Playstation 2 in 2001 and was a great success.
The plot follows the two friends on a quest to return Daxter into a human form- after he fell into a Dark Eco silo and was transformed into an ottsel, a fictional hybrid of an otter and weasel. This would be an interesting choice for a live-action adaption-let us hope Tom Holland is up to the challenge.
