Lara Croft Will Search For Her Father in the ‘Tomb Raider’ Reboot

New Movies Online

Producer Graham King (Allied) has said before the Tomb Raider reboot will show how Lara Croft became such an adventurous, globe-trotting archaeologist. Academy Award-winner Alicia Vikander (Ex Machina) is set to play the British video game character in director Roar Uthaug‘s (The Wave) film, which King recently described as a “back to the roots story.” He also divulged details of Croft’s first adventure.

Below, get some Tomb Raider story details.



13 years ago we last saw a Tomb Raider movie. Angelina Jolie played the archeologist in Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, but its sequel, Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life, was even less appealing to fans than the first film and appeared to prevent any chances of future Jolie-led sequels. They’re light, fluffy, cheeseball action movies that King is confident the reboot won’t resemble.

When HeyUGuys asked the producer about Tomb Raider and how it compares to the previous adaptations, he discussed their different approach and mentioned the character is searching for her father, Richard James Croft:


Well this is kind of what we call a ‘back to the roots story’. This is a young Lara Croft in search to see if her father is dead or alive, so it has a very emotional part to it and I think that’s what Alicia found so interesting about it. I think the storytelling is really good and I think we’ve got the right crew and a great director and I think it’s going to be really fun making a film like this.

King has expressed his desire in the past to make this version of Tomb Raider more character-driven, so making Lara’s first adventure more personal sounds about right:

Listen, the box office [for the Tomb Raider movies], they weren’t disasters but I find it interesting that the story that we’re telling is really the story before she became Lara Croft, so it is a character piece. It does have a lot of really great characters, but it’s a lot of action and a lot of fun, and for me, it’s something very different. I’ve not really done a movie like that before, but I really gravitated to rebooting this franchise and we’re going to give it a shot.

The character’s father was played by Jolie’s real dad, Jon Voight (Ray Donavon), in the 2001 film. In the video games, Richard Croft is an archeologist who’s been both a caring father and an absentee dad. In one game he was presumed to have killed himself, in another he was double-crossed and murdered. We’ll have to wait and see what kind of Richard James Croft they’ll have in the reboot, but let’s hope the father-daughter storyline holds more emotional weight this time around than it did in the first Tomb Raider movie.

Tomb Raider opens in theaters on March 16th, 2018.

‘Rogue One: A Star Wars Story’ Tracking for $130 Million Opening Weekend

Watch Full Movies

In many ways, Rogue One is different from all the other Star Wars movies. It’s the first spinoff, centered on a bunch of characters we’ve never heard of before and may never hear about again. It’s the first without an opening crawl and the first without a John Williams score. It’s described as a “darker” affair, more akin to a war drama than a lively space adventure.

But one way Rogue One is like every other Star Wars movie before it? It’s expected to make tons and tons of money. Early Rogue One box office tracking suggests it’ll open to about $130 million domestically, which would make it the second-highest December debut of all time — behind The Force Awakens, of course.

The Hollywood Reporter looked at numbers from a number of different tracking services, with estimates running from the high $120 million range to the near $150 million range. In all, it looks like we can expect Rogue One to rake in about $130-140 million in its first weekend after hitting theaters December 16. Obviously, like all box office tracking, these numbers are just estimates, so take ’em with a grain of salt.

December isn’t really known for juggernaut opening weekends, but there are some exceptions. The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey set a record in 2012 with $84 million, and Avatar premiered to $77 million in 2009. But The Force Awakens blew all those out of the water last year with an absolutely astounding $247 million domestic debut. Not even Rogue One‘s projected $130+ million premiere comes close to that.

But then again, no one ever expected Rogue One to top The Force Awakens on that front, not even Disney CEO Bob Iger. “We’ve not ever felt it would do the level that Force Awakens did, but we’ve been very, very encouraged that the level of interest in this is as high as it was for Force Awakens,” he told investors earlier this fall. Whereas The Force Awakens was the first new Star Wars movie in ten years, and picked up with the three beloved heroes of the original trilogy, Rogue One is the first new Star Wars movie in just twelve months, and has promised to set itself apart by not focusing on the Skywalker family.

While Rogue One is the first-ever Star Wars spinoff, it’s not the last. A $130 million opening weekend is a strong start for the A Star Wars Story series, which will explore characters and stories that fall outside the Skywalker Saga at the center of the “Episode” films. It’s also an excellent finish to 2016 for Disney, which has had already an absolutely fantastic year between Finding Dory, Captain America: Civil War, The Jungle Book, Zootopia, and Doctor Strange.
