"Uncharted" Reveals First-Look of Tom Holland as Nathan Drake

Columbia Pictures has unveiled the first-look images its upcoming action adventure Uncharted, adapted from the massively popular PlayStation/Naughty Dog video game franchise.

Get your first look at Tom Holland as the young Nathan Drake and other iconic images in the stills below.

In his interview with Collider.com, Holland revealed the narrative thrust of the movie adaptation. Rather than retelling one of the games’ storylines, this Uncharted will give us a Nathan Drake origin story.

“I think what Uncharted offers that most video games films don’t is that it’s an origin story to the games,” Holland says. “So if you played the games, you haven’t seen what’s going to happen in the film. And if you haven’t played the games, you’re going to enjoy the film because it’s information that everyone else is getting at the same time.”

Filipina Singer-Songwriter Marian Carmel Releases 'Rose', First Single Off Her Debut Concept Album

Filipina singer-songwriter Marian Carmel releases her first single ‘Rose’ from her upcoming debut concept album on Friday, 6th November 2020 via Singapore-based indie label, Where Are The Fruits.

Inspired by the phrase “rose-tinted glasses”, ‘Rose’ is about the blessing and the curse of being too optimistic. This single is a form of catharsis for the 23-year-old singer-songwriter, as she makes peace with her personal growth. She sings ‘I have grown a little older, I have learnt a little more / but whatever happens, hope it’s not forgotten / or seen with glasses tinted rose’. With lush and enveloping harmonies, ‘Rose’ is the first single kickstarting Marian’s musical journey in the next few months leading up to her album release. 

Find the ideal property for you with easy-to-use proptech platform Ohmyhome

Property seekers can now search for the property they 
want and need—and transact housing services
—through proptech startup Ohmyhome, 
which recently launched its one-stop-shop
 digital platform in the Philippines

When Ohmyhome, Singapore’s market leader in property solutions platforms expanded into the Philippines in September, it saw that the demand for residential properties had remained strong amidst the pandemic. This means that despite the global health crisis randomly affecting the real estate market, there is still a significant interest in residential properties.

Before the pandemic, Filipino property seekers looked for good design, strategic location, and modern facilities in prospective homes. Now, with quarantine constraints still in place, the priority is for stable and secure bases for learning and working from home. 

Race Wong, Chief Product Officer and Co-Founder of Ohmyhome, explains the shift in buyer preferences: “While property seekers are still looking at houses located near commercial or urbanized districts, there is an increase in prospective homeowners looking at properties outside Metro Manila, due to the changes and increased flexibility in work and study arrangements”
