The original Lara Croft films had Angelina Jolie play this treasure hunter in the hero roster. The media outlet points out that the Angelina Jolie "Tomb Raider" films did not generate enough revenue to warrant a continued series.
In contrast to the Angelina Jolie versions embedded in aristocracy, "Lara Croft: Tomb Raider" sets Alicia Vikander as an east London resident as Metro reports. Similar to what Graham King revealed, Alicia Vikander stated that "Lara Croft: Tomb Raider" will give fans a tale of becoming.
Onboard for the first film of "Lara Croft: Tomb Raider" is Norwegian director Roar Uthaug best known for such work as "The Wave" and "Escape." Writing for "Lara Croft: Tomb Raider" installment is Geneva Robertson-Dworet, who is also billed to write for "Sherlock Holmes 3" and "Dungeons And Dragons," according to IMDb.
"Lara Croft: Tomb Raider" is set for theater release in the US on March 16, 2018. Are you rooting for Alicia Vikander in "Lara Croft: Tomb Raider" or do you think Angelina Jolie is irreplaceable?
