 Lara Croft: Tomb Raider Famously know as Tomb Raider is a 2001 action-adventure thriller film based on the popular Tomb Raider video game series featuring the character Lara Croft portrayed by Angelina Jolie. The film was directed by Simon West and was released during the summer of 2001.

The reboot of the movie has a Norwegian director Roar Uthaug on board. The director of the movie "The Wave" will articulate the story now. MGM and Warner Bros. are co-producing the film, with MGM overseeing production. They acquired the rights from GK Films, who had previously purchased the film rights in 2011 from Square Enix Ltd. Graham King shall produce the movie.

The most followed star Angelina Jolie starred in the two previous Tomb Raider movies, 2001's Lara Croft: Tomb Raider and 2003's Lara Croft: Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life, which established her as a bankable, franchise-carrying international star will no more feature in the movie's reboot, writes the Hollywood reporter.

Then, who will be the next Tomb Raider? It is the time for the Oscar award winner for the movie 'The Danish Girl', Alicia Vikander's turn to be Lara Croft: Tomb Raider.

Vikander's outstanding acting skills got her an Oscars last year which was a turning point for her. She won an Oscar for her performance in "The Danish Girl" while also starring in ''Ex Machina'', ''Burnt'' and ''The Man from U.N.C.L.E''. This year she will be seen in the drama ''The Light between Oceans'' as well as the Matt Damon action pic ''Jason Bourne''.

We wish the new Tomb Raider, Alicia Vikander all the very best for her future acting-endeavours. Meanwhile, we also expect a lot of thrill and excitement coming out from the new director of the movie.
