Confirmation arrived last week that the long-awaited, live-action Uncharted movie will finally begin production next year, and now the film has a release date, too.

Columbia Pictures has announced that Uncharted will arrive in theaters June 10, 2016, one of the summer’s prime release dates that year. This could certainly be seen as an early vote of confidence in the film, though cameras have yet to begin rolling.

“June 10 is a great date for Uncharted,” said Doug Belgrad, President of Sony Pictures Entertainment Motion Picture Group, in a statement accompanying the announcement. “It’s just the right place for this exciting action-adventure film.”

It’s worth noting that the date chosen for Uncharted was previously reserved for another Columbia Pictures film, The Amazing Spider-Man 3, which was recently pushed back to 2018.

While the film based on the hit Naughty Dog game franchise now has a director in Seth Gordon (Horrible Bosses), a script currently receiving another draft by David Guggenheim (Safe House), and a release date, it has yet to find a leading man for the role of treasure hunter Nathan Drake.

Still, with Comic-Con International underway in San Diego, there’s always the chance that Columbia Pictures could be planning some big announcements for this project over the weekend.

5 things we need to see in The Mandalorian & Grogu Star Wars movie

It's not hard to see why Lucasfilm gave the green light to the upcoming Mandalorian & Grogu movie. No new characters from the new Disney era are as widely beloved as they are. In a time when so many Star Wars films have been announced and subsequently abandoned, a movie based on The Mandalorian feels like a surefire hit.

And yet, everything else about this film remains a mystery. What's the story? When does it even take place? None of that is known. But I think we can agree that the following five things need to be addressed in the upcoming film.

If you have to watch one Star Wars movie this May the 4th, stream this one

Luke looking off into the binary sunset before dying in The Last Jedi.

Every Star Wars fan has a favorite movie, and many Star Wars fans also hate at least one of the entries in one of their favorite franchises. That can make the exercise of choosing the perfect Star Wars movie to watch on May the 4th difficult. For all of the love this fan base has shown to the franchise over the years, it's also a fan base that has strong opinions about why one movie or another is worthy of your time.

This May 4, though, I'd recommend watching Star Wars: The Last Jedi. Almost undoubtedly the most controversial entry in the saga, one that makes some people furious and others jump for joy, The Last Jedi is worthy of your attention, whether you like what it's doing or not. Here are three reasons you should check it out:
