New Details On The TOMB RAIDER Reboot; Will Sync Up With Video Game Remake
We haven't heard an awful lot about Lara Croft's big screen reboot for a while now, but a new report features comments from Crystal Dynamics' Darrell Gallagher in which he offers some details about the direction that the film will take. Read on for details!
In a piece over at Variety about the new Tomb Raider video game, Darrell Gallagher (head of studio at Crystal Dynamics) has revealed new details about GK's upcoming big screen remake. The film will reportedly sync up with the latest instalment in the gaming franchise, focusing on a younger Lara Croft rather than the seasoned adventurer played by Angelina Jolie in the last two movies. "They are working from this new take that we’ve given them," he revealed. "It’s a good partnership. We’re seeing the challenges through the same lens. It was important for both of us to have a cohesive version of the franchise. We didn’t want to see a film version that was a continuation of the old Tomb Raider films." Iron Man scribes Mark Fergus and Hawk Ostby are working on the screenplay, which producer Graham King has previously described as a "character piece" which will indeed focus on a younger version of the iconic character.
