In a piece over at Variety about the new Tomb Raider video game, Darrell Gallagher (head of studio at Crystal Dynamics) has revealed new details about GK's upcoming big screen remake. The film will reportedly sync up with the latest instalment in the gaming franchise, focusing on a younger Lara Croft rather than the seasoned adventurer played by Angelina Jolie in the last two movies. "They are working from this new take that we?ve given them," he revealed. "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. We didn?t want to see a film version that was a continuation of the old Tomb Raider films." Iron Man scribes Mark Fergus and Hawk Ostby are working on the screenplay, which producer Graham King has previously described as a "character piece" which will indeed focus on a younger version of the iconic character.

If they do it right, this can be good.

Yeah. Though I'm still hoping it's not quite the same Lara from the game... Maybe set the movie after the game so that she's actually in tombs and things...

The Tomb Raider movies though have always suffered from bad writing. It's as if they don't really know what she is when they're trying to craft a story around her. LOL
