Tomb Raider Film Slated For 2018 Release

The new Tomb Raider film starring award-winning actress Alicia Vikander already has a release date. The movie reboot is scheduled for a March 2018 release. Not much is known about the movie except she’ll be playing a similarly younger Lara Croft like in the two recent games Tomb Raider (2013) and Rise of the Tomb Raider (2015).

The film will be directed by Roar Uthaug with a screenplay written by Geneva Robertson-Dworet. The upcoming movie will focus on a young Croft on her first archaeological expedition. Based on 1996’s video game, Tomb Raider was first adapted for film in 2001 which was titled Lara Croft: Tomb Raider and starred Angelina Jolie.

The first movie grossed $274.7 million worldwide, while the 2003 sequel Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life earned $156.5 million. Alicia will next be seen on screen in Jason Bourne alongside Matt Damon, and The Light Between Oceans in which she stars with her real-life beau Michael Fassbender.
