Newest Tomb Raider Discovered ⋆

The Tomb Raider has risen!

Alicia Vikander has signed on to star as Lara Croft in a prequel film that, much like the rebooted videogame from 2013, will tell the story of a young and untested Croft fighting to survive her first adventure.

Vikander won an Oscar for her role in The Danish Girl. She also starred in Ex Machina and also appeared in The Man From U.N.C.L.E. This year we’ll see her in the drama The Light Between Oceans, as well as the newest Bourne movie.

Little is known about the plot at this point but Norwegian director Roar Uthaug is already signed on to direct, while MGM and Warner Bros. are co-producing the film, with MGM overseeing the production.

If the rebooted videogame is anything to go on, this will be a darker Lara Croft than we’ve seen on the big-screen to this point. But is it wrong I’m still hoping for a scene reminiscent of Tomb Raider II (1997) where she traps her butler in the walk-in freezer?

I read, I write, I play videogames, Ghostbusters is my favourite thing in the known universe, but quasars come in at a close second. I've been known to cry at the drop of a hat over happy and sad things alike. I've also been known to fly into a rage if things don't go my way, leading to many a fight in high school and breaking someone's nose on the TTC one time. I'm an anxious introvert but also a loud-mouthed bad influence. Especially on my cat. He learned it from watching me, okay!
