Tom Holland's new movie

This year, one of the great box office successes worldwide is this American blockbuster that shot almost entirely in Barcelona. Ruben Fleischer directed Uncharted with Tom Holland and Mark Walhberg as protagonists, accompanied by Antonio Banderas, Sophia Alli, and Tati Gabrielle.

The film is an adaptation of the famous video game of the same name with Tom Holland playing a young Nathan Drake, treasure hunter protagonist of the saga, and Mark Wahlberg as Victor Sullivan, Drake's mentor, and adventure partner. As we said, they filmed Uncharted in Barcelona in 2020. We review the locations of the film in our city. Attention! If you haven't seen the movie, don't continue, spoilers!

The film begins when Nathan and his older brother Sam are young. They got arrested because they got caught trying to steal Magellan's treasure map from a museum. The police take them to the convent school for orphans where they live, but Sam escapes and promises his brother that he will come back for him. They shot these scenes in the Sant Pau Modernist Site (Sant Antoni Maria Claret, 167).

In New York, Victor Sullivan (Mark Wahlberg) recruits Nathan Drake (Tom Holland). He wants him to help him search for Magellan's treasure. Nathan also wants to find his missing brother. They recover there the cross of Magellan. They shot these scenes in Berlin. Later, They travel later to Barcelona, where Magellan's diary takes them in search of the definitive clue to find his treasure.

 

 

Supposedly, Magellan hid the treasure in Barcelona. There, they meet a young woman named Chloe Frazer (Sophia Ali), a contact of Sully's. She has the second cross they seek. They are in the Plaza de Carles Buigas. Where the Magic Fountain of Montjuic is. When we see them talking, they are on the roof of the Victòria Eugènia Pavilion. In this scene, we can see the columns of the fountain in the background. She manages to steal the cross from Nathan. Then, they start a frantic chase. It starts on top of the Pavilion roof, goes down the steps of the fountains and across the Cascade Square fountain, Tom Holland falls in the water, and past a flea market with artisan stalls in the area of ​​the columns of the Josep Puig i Cadafalch square. The chase ends in her car, parked in the Cascadas square. They decide to work together to find the treasure.

 

 

Meanwhile, Santiago Moncada (Antonio Banderas) confronts his father Armando (Manuel de Blas) at the Moncada Foundation offices. He is angry because Armando has disinherited him. The scene is at the Born Center for Culture and Memory. Here are the headquarters of the Moncada Foundation. Santiago Moncada talks to Braddock (Tati Gabrielle), his treasure hunter. He wants her to look for Nathan and Sully and recover the crosses. They are in the excavations of the Born.

 

 

Santiago Moncada meets his father again in Gaudí Square. We see the Sagrada Familia. They are both sitting on a bench and talking in front of the lake in the square.

The three protagonists, Nathan, Sully, and Chloe, stay in Barcelona in a safe house on Sant Pere Més Alt Street, from where you can see a balcony and the interior of the flat while the protagonists talk and drink.

Magellan's diary takes them to the Church of Santa Maria del Pi. We can see the façade and the main door, the apse door, which overlooks the Pi square, and many scenes inside the church. Inside the temple, they discover a secret underground entrance to the crypt that will lead Chloe and Nathan to find more clues. They shot these underground passages in a studio in Berlin. Meanwhile, Sully goes over the streets of the Gothic quarter. He is following the same path as his companions underground. Sully finds Braddock and her helpers. The two fight at the Bar Pisamorena (Consolat de Mar, 37), here as a fast-food restaurant.

 

 

In the end, Nathan and Chloe discover an entrance to a secret chamber. They need to use the crosses as keys. Sully is at that moment in Sant Felip Neri square and talks to them through the sewer cover. The square's fountain was also set up on Consolat de Mar street to make the scene.

The protagonists leave for the Philippines in search of treasure. When they arrive in the Philippines, they arrive at the beach of Lloret de Mar, Girona. The hotel where they are staying is there too. They shot the ships' scenes in Denia. In the end, there is also a scene with a character in a dungeon or prison. They filmed the prison also in the Sant Pau Modernist Site.

Finally, in the post-credits scenes where we see Nathan and Sully in a bar in Havana, they shot them in Barcelona at the Mescladís del Pou, at 35 Carders Street, and in the same square in front of it.
