Tomb raider movie 2018 poster series#
The fun of the Tomb Raider game series has always come from the adventure and exploration elements of their stories. Though the image sadly features a good bit of Photoshopping and odd color correction (see below), the prominent placement of a climbing axe in the hero's hand indicates the movie will in fact feature some actual tomb raiding. MGM and WB have released the first official poster for Tomb Raider online, showing Vikander poised and ready as Lara Croft.

The Tomb Raider synopsis confirms that the movie is an origin story for Vikander as Lara Croft, while the images of Vikander in character support the longstanding claim that the film is drawing inspiration from the 2013 reboot of the Tomb Raider video game series. With a bare-bones and action-packed take on the origin of Lara Croft and Oscar-winner Vikander ( Ex Machine) in the leader role, the studio stands a real chance of finally striking gold with Tomb Raider. MGM and Warner Bros are hoping to change that next year when their reboot of Tomb Raider hits theaters. While both of those franchises did well financially, critics have never really taken to such adaptations.
Along with the Resident Evil series, the original Tomb Raider films starring Angelina Jolie are the only real examples of Hollywood successfully turning video games into movies. The first poster for next year's reboot of Tomb Raider has finally been unveiled, highlighting Alicia Vikander's take on Lara Croft.
