Directed by Roar Uthaug, Tomb Raider follows the story scripted by Geneva Robertson-Dworet and Alastair Siddons. Overall, it adheres to the 2013 video game by Crystal Dynamics.
The production is technically a reboot or remake, depending on how you want to view it. A remake is such a sour word these days. Viewing the trailers and clips reinforces my hope for an even better movie than its predecessor.
The movie follows the heroine Lara Croft, played by Oscar winner Alicia Vikander, on her first expedition. Her goal is to complete her father’s research and uncover ancient secrets capable of clearing her name as a suspect in the murder of Werner Von Croy, her former mentor. The film also stars Dominic West, Walton Goggins, Daniel Wu, Nick Frost, and Kristin Scott Thomas. With such a strong cast, I will bet the movie is fantastic.
The clip and trailers are fun to watch. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did.
