The production looks like it might be particularly Scandinavian-themed, as director Roar Uthaug ( The Wave) is himself Norwegian. The Jolie movies were produced by Paramount Pictures, but the rights now reside with MGM and GK Films ( World War Z, Rango, Hugo). Alicia Vikander, the Swedish star/costar of Ex Machina, The Man from U.N.C.L.E., and The Danish Girl, has been cast as the new Lara Croft in the reboot of Tomb Raider. There had been stories that Daisy Ridley ( Star Wars: The Force Awakens) was in talks for the role, but this week, we learned the role will be going to another recent “It Girl” instead. Naturally, there’s also the question of who to cast as the British adventurer Lara Croft. The challenge, then, is not only to deliver an entertaining adventure movie that audiences enjoy, but for the film also to win over critics this time around. Unfortunately, those movies both received Rotten Tomatometer scores: Lara Croft – Tomb Raider (19%) and Lara Croft – Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life (24%). One of the franchises that has been attempting a reboot is Square Enix’s Tomb Raider, which was previously made into a pair of movies starring Angelina Jolie.

In 2016 alone, we will soon have movies based on Angry Birds, Warcraft, and Assassin’s Creed. While superhero movies continue to dominate the box office, the lucrative video game industry (which now makes almost as much money each year as Hollywood does) remains another potential source for adaptations.
