It will premiere in the first half of 2023.
TOMB RAIDER MOVIES SERIES
The upcoming The Last of Us HBO series promises to be the project that might finally break the curse on video game adaptations. Even then, a new film is probably three to five years down the line, which might be good enough for the video game genre to get some positive momentum. With a bidding war erupted around the film adaptation rights, it’s very possible we’ll hear very soon what the next house for the IP will be in Hollywood. There were all these first-class flights, five-star rooms. It is incredible.’ But I didn’t know what to do. Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle Of Life.
TOMB RAIDER MOVIES MOVIE
“In other people’s eyes, I was at my height of fame, I was the most sad. The first Tomb Raider movie was released during the Original Era, when Lara was on top of her game. The actress recently opened up about how she felt the most depressed when she was at the height of her fame, telling The Sunday Times: The actress recently starred in the HBO limited series Irma Vep (you can check out our review here), and has a movie in post-production, Firebrand, directed by Karim Aïnouz, and also starring Jude Law. Purely speculating, sequels tend to cost more money than the first, and maybe the producers of the movie couldn’t get the studios’ approval on all grounds after the box office underperformance of the first one. Executives thought that the word-of-mouth around the project and the IP, in general, was good enough to move ahead with another film, but it seems like they weren’t that excited about it. Amazon recently acquired MGM and could do a lot with Tomb Raider, but The Wrap (via ) has now shared more details on what went wrong. Most of its worldwide box office, which ended up at $274.6M, was made overseas. Thats a question people have been asking ever since it was revealed the studio failed to start production on the sequel in time, prompting a bidding war among studios looking to reboot the franchise. It’s unknown what caused the ship to sink, though greenlighting a sequel was always a questionable decision, after the Roar Uthaug-directed adaptation didn’t wow audiences and made $23.6M opening weekend on a $94 million budget.

It seems like the deal went nowhere, and now we’ll have to wait a few years for a new Tomb Raider movie, with a new actress (Vikander’s contract was with MGM). It then gained some momentum again when in January 2021 Misha Green, showrunner of Lovecraft Country, was hired to write and direct a new adventure. A sequel to 2018’s Tomb Raider starring Alicia Vikander had been in the works, with Ben Wheatley at some point attached to direct.

Apparently, multiple studios have now engaged in a bidding war to acquire film adaptation rights, now that those have reverted back to the game company. Alicia Vikander is no longer attached to playing Lara Croft in any future Tomb Raider movies.Īccording to The Wrap, MGM has lost the movie rights to the Tomb Raider IP after it failed to greenlight a sequel to the 2018 film.
