Despite an enormous amount of hype, the attempt to bring Tomb Raider to the big screen with Angelina Jolie as Lara Croft, underperformed at the box office. However, Hollywood has decided to have another go, this time with Alicia Vikander in the main role.

The first image has now arrived, which suggests this take won’t be a glossy and shiny as the earlier movies, instead reflecting the more realistic look the video games had in later instalments.

Here’s the newly released synopsis: ‘Lara Croft is the fiercely independent daughter of an eccentric adventurer who vanished when she was scarcely a teen. 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. 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.

‘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.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. But her mission will not be an easy one; just reaching the island will be extremely treacherous. 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. If she survives this perilous adventure, it could be the making of her, earning her the name tomb raider.’

The film is currently due in cinemas March 2018.
