Bosco685 Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 The casting news was announced back in April of this year. Alicia Vikander Cast As Lara Croft For Tomb Raider Alicia Vikander has been cast as Lara Croft in an upcoming Tomb Raider reboot. Vikander is best known to ComicBook.com community for her role as the artificially intelligent being in Ex Machina. She is also known for her roles in The Man From U.N.C.L.E., The Danish Girl, and A Royal Affair. She'll also be appearing alongside Matt Damon in Jason Bourne later this year. Roar Uthaug (The Wave) will be directing the new Tomb Raider film which will tells the story of a young and untested Lara Croft fighting to survive her first adventure. Graham King is on board to produce. Now, some additional details. Tomb Raider Star Alicia Vikander Secretly Loved the Video Games Following this new iteration of Lara Croft comes a reboot to the film series, currently rumored for a Fall 2017 release, and with recently cast Alicia Vikander (Ex Machina, The Danish Girl) in the starring role. The film is being written by Evan Daugherty (Divergent, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) and Roar Uthaug (The Wave) is set to direct. In an interview with Total Film Magazine, Vikander opened up about her history as a fan of the Tomb Raider games: “I kept it secret – I didn’t have many girlfriends who shared that interest, but I really loved it.” She also admitted that she snuck in play sessions with the game “even though my parents said I wasn’t allowed to.” Additionally, Vikander had some thoughts on the physical challenges of playing the spry action heroine: "I danced for many years. I really enjoy the aspect of being able to work with my physicality. In one way, I can probably do that unconsciously. But in this, it’s going to be a whole other level. It’s always wonderful when you get the chance to try things out that you never thought you would be able to do, to push yourself and your boundaries."

Bosco685 Posted July 20, 2016 Author Share Posted July 20, 2016 Alicia Vikander Promises A "Fresh" Take On The Origins Of Lara Croft In The TOMB RAIDER Reboot We heard that this reboot would focus on a younger Croft, and would be loosely based on Square Enix's 2013 version of the video game. But in a new interview with Hitfix, Vikander seems to suggest it might be more than just a loose adaptation. “They told me they were doing the film based on the reboot of the game from 2013. That is more of an origin story. You get into an emotional aspect of getting to know Lara hopefully in an in-depth way. So I hope that doing a film of the rebooted game will bring something new and fresh that’ll stand on its own two legs.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bosco685 Posted June 10, 2017 Author Share Posted June 10, 2017 I wonder if this will be another reboot no movie-goers were really needing. Though if anyone is going to make this interesting, Alicia Vikander seems to be a good bet. TOMB RAIDER Director Roar Uthaug Announces That Production Has Officially Wrapped On The Upcoming Reboot Quote Principal photography has now finished on Warner Bros.' upcoming reboot of Tomb Raider. Director Roar Uthaug made the announcement via the short set video below. Various members of the cast and crew can be seen, but it's difficult to tell of Ex Machina actress Alicia Vikander is among them because of the glow from the lights. Vikander will play a younger version of Lara Croft, who travels to the coast of Japan to investigate the disappearance of her father. The plot is expected to be heavily influenced by the 2013 video game which followed Croft's adventures after she was shipwrecked on the fictional island of Yamatai.

Ken Aldred Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 I'm hoping that this actually is the first really good film based on a videogame series, rather than another typical, expected disappointment. ComicConnoisseur 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too. I had high hopes for Assassin's Creed. I'd love to see a movie do for video game movies what Iron Man did for comic book movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
