Warner Bros has released a while ago a trailer for A new Tomb raider Movie staring the actress Alicia Vikander. The Movie version of the popular video game Tomb Raider will be in the theaters on March 2018 and it is already has made headlines about the trailer, about the poster and about the choice for the actor and replacing Angelina Jolie. At the same time there have been leaks and rumors about the new version of the game “Shadow Of The Tomb Raider” and it release date. And it seems like a busy year for Tomb raider in 2018 especially the early 2018. The Leaks says the Upcoming 2018 Tomb Raider Is To Be The Sequel to The Last Very Successful and Popular Version released in 2015, “The Rise of Tomb Raider” And Could Be An Egyptian, Middle East, Mexican Adventure. “The Shadow of the Tomb Raider” is the sequel to Rise of the Tomb Raider, which was an action-adventure video game Made by Crystal Dynamics and Square Enix as the main publisher. We have included some of the leaked sketches here at the end of the article. The mentioned release date above comes from a quote in Official PlayStation Magazine: “Rumor squirrels tell us Shadow of the Tomb Raider could be released early in 2018.” Which does make sense since the Move is also coming out on march. The fact that which one will be out first and what will be the strategy remains the main question.

Lara Croft in Tomb Raider The Video game: The Tomb Raider is one of the oldest games that has still managed to stay in market and continue giving out new versions. From 1996 to 2015 about 11 main titles and many sub-versions and also inspired many movie and video tittles. Lara has evolved from 1996 to 2015 many changes and many different stories but Still strongly holds the DNA of the old Lara Croft. The DNA of Lara is very clear. A girl going in an adventure that may have no end or no clear path. But she will make it by sacrificing and trying so hard. She expands the cultural gender boundaries for a girl and she turned into one of the most popular game characters of all times. Lara has evolved in last 20 years and stayed popular. Lara Croft Specially the newer version has been one of the most favored and most influential characters raised from video games ever. Time magazine mentioned the Lara Croft Second in the list of the most influential video game characters of all times after Peach. Also In 2017 decluttr made a list of most favorite video game characters by state and Lara croft was the most favorite one in 6 state and became second after Sonic and Mario.

“If old-school Lara Croft embodies much of what’s wrong with female representation in an interactive medium that as of 2016 counts over 40% of its adherents as women, new-school Lara Croft has plenty to say about what’s right.”

Time Magazine

“Tied for 2nd with 6 states each are Tomb Raider’s Lara Croft (Illinois, Maryland, New York, South Carolina, Virginia and Wisconsin)”

A history on the “Tomb Raider in The movies”

Lara Croft first came to cinema in a 2001 action-adventure film based on the popular Tomb Raider video game series featuring the character Lara Croft that first  Angelina Jolie became the actress to play that role. The first version was directed by Simon West and revolves around Lara Croft trying to obtain ancient artifacts from the enemy, the Illuminati. The film was released on June 15, 2001, and received generally many negative reviews from critics although Angelina Jolie was praised for her gender widening role and performance. Tomb Raider was the highest-grossing film on its opening weekend at the time. Later in 2003 Another title came out Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life (2003) was also based on the Angelina Jolie acting for the role and basically now great plan, screenplay and depth but focus on the character Lara Croft played by Angelina Jolie. Lara Croft: Tomb Raider – The Cradle of Life  Based on Angelina Jolie staring supporting roles include Gerard Butler, Ciarán Hinds, Chris BarrieAn bacame an international film project between the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, and Japan, it was directed by Jan de Bont. Like the first version, The Cradle of Life received also mostly negative reviews, though with some improvement on its predecessor and still loved Jolie’s performance as Lara Croft. The movies did not repeat its financial success basically because the first one was so disappointing that fans did not feel like going for the next one. Maybe the motivation behind making the second one was the high numbers they got from the first film this one only made grossing $156 million compared to the first one’s $274 million. and the director did not make a movie ever again.

The new Tomb raider movie, March 2018

Main Plot: Lara Croft, the fiercely independent daughter of a missing adventurer, must push herself beyond her limits when she finds herself on the island where her father disappeared.  Director: Roar Uthaug Writer: Geneva Robertson-Dworet (screenplay) Stars: Alicia Vikander, Walton Goggins

Lara Croft fans are now in a bit of relief when the first trailer for the new Tomb Raider movie was released,Cause it was actually a good one unlike the poster. We should admit there was a certain sense of déjà vu that accompanied the new footage, wasn’t it. Many books and video games come to movies and many have good and epic releases but Tomb raider has not been one of those epic ones. The past movie versions has actually been more close to a disaster like Max Payne movie that ruined it for many loyal Max Payne fans.  Every body is holding fingers crossed to see this new movie become an epic experience of what the fans love and experienced in the video games.
