Warner Bros. has released the first trailer for the new Tomb Raider starring Oscar-winner Alicia Vikander. And it’s already better than the previous incarnation!
Despite the bad Photoshop job done on the film’s poster, the first trailer for Tomb Raider, which is based the long-running video game series, more specifically the 2013 and 2015 games, Tomb Raider and Rise of the Tomb Raider, actually looks really good. Of course, the origin story comes 15 years after Angelina Jolie’s last Tomb Raider movie, Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life, was released and ups the ante in action and suspense. The trailer certainly has its fair share of adventure and closely mimics the excitement from the video game, and perhaps a few Indiana Jones films too.
The fate of humanity rests in her hands. Lara Croft, the fiercely independent daughter of a missing adventurer, must push herself beyond her limits when she finds herself on the island where her father disappeared.
Roar Uthaug directed from a script by Geneva Robertson-Dworet and Alastair Siddons. Alicia Vikander stars alongside Daniel Wu, Dominic West, Walton Goggins and Kristin Scott Thomas.
Tomb Raider is set to hit theatres on March 16, 2018.
6/10 movie by the looks of it.
Isn’t Lara Croft suppose to be British?
And Hot?
lol. I think they are going for the more average look like in the new games.
New games she’s still hot though.
This is Gal Gadot’s WW controversy all over again. Let’s see the movie before landing mindless criticism, shall we?
Daniel Meléndez not bashing her ability to play the part. But I think as soon as they start moving from the source material like who she actually is it generally doesn’t turn out great. Looking at almost all game to movie adaptations.
They should have cast Daisy Ridley I’m sorry.
I totally agree
Still 0 hotness and boobs.
Nicholas Friebus they replaced your woman
Can’t tell much from the trailer but a lot of cut scenes in the game is recreated almost shot for shot. Also, while Alicia is a fantastic actress, I feel she is miscast as Lara. Would’ve preferred Camilla Ludington, who does Lara’s mo-cap and voice in the game.
Isn’t her neck a bit long there?
She doesn’t really look like Lara Croft but I guess I’ll live with it
It can’t be worse than the last one.
Where are her iconic shorts? They didn’t cover Wonder Woman up in HER last two cinematic outings… #TiptoeingAroundPoliticalCorrectness
This is her look in the new games…which the movie is based on.
I stand corrected…I’m not a gamer. Thanks for the insight. (y)
Al, thoughts??
looks cool. It’s based on the most recent game
