Assassin's Creed and Warcraft were supposed to put the video game movie genre on the right back but both movies ended up being critical and commercial disappointments. Now, all eyes are on Tomb Raider to make things right and if this trailer is any indication, it stands a very good chance of doing so!
There's plenty of great action on display here and we get an even closer look at how the movie is going to handle Lara Croft's origin story, a tale fans of the video game series will be all too familiar with.
Warner Bros. has clearly stuck closely to those but it does look like there will be some big twists and if all goes right, the Alicia Vikander led movie should help launch a new franchise. Directed by The Wave’s Roar Uthaug, the movie also stars Walter Goggins (The Hateful Eight), Dominic West (The Affair), Daniel Wu (Warcraft) and Hannah John-Kamen (Ready Player One). What do you think of the trailer?
