It is the third adaptation of the Tomb Raider series of games in film, after 2001's Lara Croft: Tomb Raider and it's 2003 sequel Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life, both of which starred Angelina Jolie as the protagonist, Lara Croft. The role of Richard Croft has been performed before by the stunt casting of Jon Voight in the 2001 Tomb Raider, as he is the real-life father of Angelina Jolie.Tomb Raider is an upcoming action adventure film based on the 1996 video game of the same name. West is best known for his role on Showtime’s The Affair, as well as work in The Wire and films like 300, Pride, and Genius. The news was made official via THR, announcing that Dominic West has been cast in the role of Lord Richard Croft, the father of Vikander’s Lara and a central, enigmatic figure throughout the games and original Tomb Raider movie. As a former ballerina, the actress also has the physicality necessary to pull off such an action-oriented role. Vikander is currently one of the most sought-after actresses in Hollywood right now, so this is a big boon for the Tomb Raiderreboot. The young actress has proven herself in everything from period drama to science fiction to romance, and made it look easy. While Ridley would have made a great Lara, too, no doubt the Star Warsfilms are keeping her very busy. Star Wars: The Force Awakensstar Daisy Ridley was previously in talks to star in the film. The 28-year-old Swedish actress has been making a lot of waves in Hollywood. In the past few years, Vikander has enjoyed starmaking turns in The Danish Girl and Ex Machina,with other recent/upcoming films including The Light Between Oceanswith Michael Fassbender and Rachel Weisz, Tulip Feverwith Judy Dench and Christoph Waltz, and Jason Bourne with Matt Damon and Julia Stiles. Speaking to EW about shooting the action scenes, Vikander said: We’ve seen photos from the set of the production courtesy of Twitter that make it look like Vikander will be doing a lot of her own stunts during filming. Yet, Vikander’s look seems to successfully pull off the idea of her Lara being a dogged debutante. Interestingly, she will be 29 when the film arrives on Ma– three years older than Angelina Jolie was when her first outing as Croft in the 2001 original Tomb Raider movie was released. The upcoming film – like the recent video game reboot of the 1996-launched series – is meant to depict the early trials and tribulations of a younger version of Lara Croft, as played by the surging starlet Vikander. The sight of Alicia Vikander’s new cinematic version of adventurer Lara Croft stuck in the wild, covered in dirt, wielding a bow and arrow is a definitive callback to the 2013 Tomb Raider game and its 2015 sequel. If the previous photos from the Tomb Raider reboot haven’t driven home the idea that this film franchise reboot is drawing heavily from the 2013 video game franchise reboot, then this image, arriving via Empire, should set it in stone.
Here’s the first official poster for Tomb Raider. If she survives this perilous adventure, it could be the making of her, earning her the name tomb raider. Suddenly, the stakes couldn’t be higher for Lara, who-against the odds and armed with only her sharp mind, blind faith and inherently stubborn spirit-must learn to push herself beyond her limits as she journeys into the unknown. But her mission will not be an easy one just reaching the island will be extremely treacherous. Going explicitly against his final wishes, she leaves everything she knows behind in search of her dad’s last-known destination: a fabled tomb on a mythical island that might be somewhere off the coast of Japan. Advised to face the facts and move forward after seven years without him, even Lara can’t understand what drives her to finally solve the puzzle of his mysterious death. Determined to forge her own path, she refuses to take the reins of her father’s global empire just as staunchly as she rejects the idea that he’s truly gone. Now a young woman of 21 without any real focus or purpose, Lara navigates the chaotic streets of trendy East London as a bike courier, barely making the rent, and takes college courses, rarely making it to class. Lara Croft is the fiercely independent daughter of an eccentric adventurer who vanished when she was scarcely a teen. The Tomb Raiderreboot will hit cinemas on March 16, 2018.
