The quality of the video game gameplaying experience continues to progress at an impressive rate. More and more games are weaving a cinematic feel that gives the player a more fulfilling and entertaining play. But it’s not the same for films based on video games. Most, if not all, are dead on arrival. The frustrating part of all of it is that these films take away the interactive experience and leaves them with something they could have enjoyed more at home.

Tomb Raider is a lot like that. On certain levels, it is one of the most physically demanding roles for Alicia Vikander, who takes up the title role. On others, it is yet another film adaptation of a video game franchise that repeats the same mistakes of its predecessors by failing to engage its audience with at least a decent story and relies too much on the video game elements to keep things interesting. Check out my full review here below.

Lara Croft is back in Warner Bros.’ Tomb Raider, the latest incarnation of the video game icon rooted in the recent video game release and played by Alicia Vikander as a burgeoning heroine to reflect the times.

Recently, the new title star of the franchise and the director Roar Uthaug chatted about the film with Los Angeles press and shared the process of bringing to life what makes Croft so iconic while keeping true to what it means to be a heroine in this day and age. See below for more of what they had to say about the new film.

Warner Bros. has released the newest trailer for the Tomb Raider reboot starring Alicia Vikander as Lara Croft.

Based on the video game series of the same name, the film will center on the title adventurer who travels to a fabled temple where her father was last seen. Along her journey, she will discover the secrets to his disappearance, and the nefarious organization who seeks to use the temple’s hidden treasures for genocide. Check out the full trailer below.

The first trailer has been released for Tomb Raider, a reboot of the movie franchise based on the hit 2013 video game…which was itself a reboot of the game series.

The movie stars Oscar winner Alicia Vikander (Ex Machina, The Danish Girl) as Lara Croft, the daughter of an adventurer who sets off on a quest to the last known destination of her father, who mysteriously disappeared years earlier.

You can read more about the new Tomb Raider and see the first trailer, a “Becoming Lara Croft” video, and a poster below.

It wouldn’t be much of a Tomb Raider film if there wasn’t someone standing in Lara Croft’s way. The title character will be played by Oscar-winning actress Alicia Vikander, and now we know who will be playing the villain.

Vice Principles and The Hateful Eight star Walton Goggins is currently in talks to play the villain role. More on the story below.

It was not that long ago when it was being reported that Star Wars: The Force Awakens actress Daisy Ridley was being courted to play the lead role of Lara Croft in the new Tomb Raider reboot. The idea sounded good on paper, as she has proven herself to be able to carry the weight of an iconic franchise on her shoulders, but seeing as her schedule would keep her from starring in another franchise, it would have been impossible to cast her in the new reboot.

Well, it didn’t take long for Warner Bros. to settle on a different actress and one that has appeared in a couple of their films. New reports confirm that Alicia Vikander has been named as the new Lara Croft. More on the story below.

Newcomer Daisy Ridley exploded onto the scene when she commanded the screen in Star Wars: The Force Awakens. The actress was universally praised for her role in that film, and with such a stellar performance, she was bound to receive many offers to star in other films.

Seeing as she can carry the weight of one franchise on her shoulders, it looks like she is in the running to play the lead character in the new Tomb Raider reboot. More on the story below.

The planned reboot of the Tomb Raider movie franchise has found itself a director. It’s being reported that Norwegian director Roar Uthaug has been set to helm the movie for GK Films, MGM and Warner Brothers. Uthaug’s previous credits include Cold Prey, Magic Silver, Escape, and The Wave, which was good enough to be chosen as Norway’s submission to be considered for a Best Foreign Language Film Academy Award nomination.

The project is also looking at a new writer. Geneva Robertson-Dworet, the writer behind the Black List script titled Hibernation, is in negotiations to pen the latest draft of the screenplay.

Six years into GK Films announcing that they would be rebooting Tomb Raider, we are finally getting some developing news. Not only has Warner Bros. joined GK and MGM to produce the film, but Evan Daugherty, writer of such films as Snow White and the Huntsman and Divergent, will pen the script.

Deadline reports that in addition to co-producing, WB will also co-finance the film as well. Daugherty is also credited with writing the scripts for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and the upcoming G.I. Joe 3.

We’ve been hearing about a reboot to the Tomb Raider movie franchise for quite a while, and now comes word that MGM and GK Films are teaming up to make the movie happen.

The first two movie adaptations of the popular Tomb Raider video game franchise starred Angelina Jolie in the title role, but it’s been said that the reboot would be an origins story.
