Tomb Raider’s Film Reboot Will Mirror the New Game, Studio Says



Tomb Raider's reboot as a video game seems to have worked out well, so Crystal Dynamics is comfortable talking about their reboot plans for the film, too.

Speaking to Variety, Darrell Gallagher said his studio is working with GK Films, producers of "Rango" and "The Departed." Gallagher's remarks stress that whatever the next Tomb Raider film is, it'll be consistent with the tone of the game releasing today. "We didn't want to see a film version that was a continuation of the old ‘Tomb Raider' films," he said. "They are working from this new take that we've given them."

A rebooted "Tomb Raider" movie, departing from the voluptuous Angelina Jolie portrayal of Lara Croft to a steelier, yet vulnerable adventurer, has been talked about before. ComingSoon.net discussed the project with Graham King (he runs GK Films) back in 2011.

Hopefully Jolie gives her blessing lol. Maybe they'll have her make a cameo!

And how do you know that this film won't do that? They've been provided with a fucking amazing template and the film could work if they follow it. Again, video games have not had their Blade yet, we havent crossed over and had a good video game movie that mad emoney and opened the floodgates. You say they're different but I really disagree, perhaps the art forms are veyr different and how they work are different but from a cross playform game to movie comic to movie thing they are very similar.

Because good games =/= good movies, this has been proven before. Maybe this one will change it, but I highly doubt it.

But my original point WAS that this could change it and that comic books, before Blade and the Renaissance were thought of and have very much the same issues as video games movie of today, with Captain America, The Punisher, and so on in the early 80's till the 90's.

ya then you implied I think video games are a "lesser art form"

but at least comic book movies make back their money...

Because I didn't know what you meant in that post, that's what I thought you meant.
