In a piece over at Variety about the new Tomb Raider video game, Darrell Gallagher (head of studio at Crystal Dynamics) has revealed new details about GK's upcoming big screen remake. The film will reportedly sync up with the latest instalment in the gaming franchise, focusing on a younger Lara Croft rather than the seasoned adventurer played by Angelina Jolie in the last two movies. "They are working from this new take that we’ve given them," he revealed. "It’s a good partnership. We’re seeing the challenges through the same lens. It was important for both of us to have a cohesive version of the franchise. We didn’t want to see a film version that was a continuation of the old Tomb Raider films." Iron Man scribes Mark Fergus and Hawk Ostby are working on the screenplay, which producer Graham King has previously described as a "character piece" which will indeed focus on a younger version of the iconic character.

Olga Kurylenko for this new tomb raider she resembles the more slender gritty reboot of lara croft and she is young at only 33 but looks much younger

Did y'all see the reviews for this Tomb Raider game?! I had to preorder it then. Can't wait to get my copy tomorrow.

I still want Olivia Wilde for Lara Croft.

Dont cast any old bitches for Croft. I don't want some 33 year old woman who will be 40 before we get a trilogy.

Enough with the fan casts. Ease up with the freakin' fantasy urges. There isn't even a script yet, lol.

If they're going by the new game's standards, she's going to be a ruthless killer.

Olivia looks the part of the current incarnation, but can she do the accent worth a damn
P862010 - 3/4/2013, 11:20 PM
