The cast also includes Walton Goggins ( The Hateful Eight) and Daniel Wu. Tomb Raider (2018) images:Īlicia Vikander leads the cast as Lara Croft and she’ll be joined by Dominic West ( The Square) as her dead father. It’s a bloody and brutal road for her first trip in the field as she begins her journey to become the Tomb Raider that we know her as from the previous games and films. In the game, this sets Lara on a path of ancient discovery mingled with savage, cult-like attackers and serious opposition when her team land on the island. In a bid to tackle her demons she heads out to his last known location, a storm-lashed island called Yamatai out in the Pacific Ocean, well off the coast of Japan, despite her father’s last wishes to the contrary. The plot for the film is essentially a new origin story for a young Lara Croft as she struggles with the disappearance of her father when she was younger. At the moment, the only other film slated for the same week in the UK is a 3D animation adaptation of Peter Rabbit starring Margot Robbie and Daisy Ridley, so Lara Croft should have the run of things. Tomb Raider (2018) has been slated for a UK release date of the 16th March 2018, but it’s also the same date that it’s due to come out in the US, so it could shift a little. The game has already had an epic sequel in Rise of the Tomb Raider, which had a release in 2015, and there’s already talk of the film turning into a new series, so it will all come down to how well it lands next year. The computer game has had a bit of a renaissance in recent years and the good news is that the film will be taking its cue from the storyline and adventure of 2013’s brilliant Tomb Raider. This time around, Alicia Vikander ( Ex-Machina) will be taking up the challenge of bringing the much-loved computer game character to life on the big screen. It may not feel like it’s been all that long since Angelina Jolie’s big screen foray as Lara Croft, but with a break of 16 years since the first film came out it’s surely high time for another crack at the Tomb Raider cherry.
