In the vast world of horrible video game movies, Tomb Raider was one of the few that didn’t turn out too horrible. No it wasn’t great. No it wasn’t memorable. Yes it made some terrible mistakes… but it didn’t completely suck, and for a video game movie that has to be considered a small victory.
Now, they are returning to the world of Laura Croft, this time without Angelina Jolie. They’re starting over with Tomb Raider, this time with a younger Laura Croft in something of an origin story. The good folks at SlashFilm give us this:
Lin (the film’s producer) reveals that the film will be a “very character orientated” origin story, which hopes to take a “more realistic” tone than past Tomb raider movies.I guess this means we won’t be seeing Lara punching any sharks this time around. He also says it will be a younger Lara Croft, which has some sites assuming that he means teenage. Megan Fox had been the subject of Internet rumors surrounding the project earlier this year.
I honestly don’t know what I think about this. Personally, even though I thought the new Punisher was pretty decent, and even though the new Hulk was good… I still don’t like the idea of “reboots” being made so early. I have no good reason for feeling that way… but I do.
So what do you think? Are you up for a Tomb Raider reboot?
