Ever since Angelina Jolie left the role of Lara Croft ten years ago, Hollywood has been working on making another Tomb Raider movie for years now. It looks like development has started up again but for real this time.

Crystal Dynamics (the developer for the games) is collaborating with GK Films to make an all-new Tomb Raider film. It suggest the new film will be based on the newly released video game which sees Lara Croft trapped on an island fighting for her life.

“They are working from this new take that we’ve given them,” Darrell Gallagher, Crystal Dynamics boss said of GK Films. “It’s a good partnership. We’re seeing the challenges through the same lens.”

“It was important for both of us to have a cohesive version of the franchise,” Gallagher said. “We didn’t want to see a film version that was a continuation of the old Tomb Raider films.”

Jolie is unlikely to reprise her role as Lara Croft. Many fans are hoping they choose Camilla Luddington for the role since she looks the part and actually voices Lara in the new game. Knowing Hollywood, they will probably opt for an actress who is a “bigger star”.
