New Lara Croft To Hit The Big Screen
Warner Bros is in the early stages of developing a Tomb Raider reboot.
Tomb Raider, which was published in 1996 by a London-based video game company called Eidos, was a wildly popular game that involved the daredevil archaeologist Lara Croft on a series of global missions. Several spinoff games have been published since, with a 10th-anniversary edition of the game released in 2006.
The new project is expected to revamp the character and her mission and bear little resemblance to the original pictures. It will reimagine the origins of the character, her love interest and the main villain.
As an open-writing assignment, the project is still in its nascent stages. An actress who could play the role Angelina Jolie made famous would likely come on after a writer and director are attached.
Jolie starred in the first two installments, Lara Croft: Tomb Raider and Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life.
