Tomb Raider to be rebooted (again) with new Lara Croft, reports say

, purchased the film rights to the popular video game franchise from GK Films back in 2013, which had itself struck a deal with Tomb Raider publisher Square Enix two years prior. The rights in question have now landed back at GK films, where they are reportedly the subject of an intense bidding war.

Prior to becoming a James Bond stablemate at MGM, the Tomb Raider brand had enjoyed some relative big screen success atparent studio Paramount, which released two Angelina Jolie-led movies – Lara Croft: Tomb Raider and Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life – in 2001 and 2003, respectively. The films raked in a combined $432 million worldwide.

Tomb Raider is and will remain a prominent name in popular culture, and as a result of MGM moving slower than Winston in Croft Manor – both in terms of releasinggreen-lighting movies under the franchise banner – the Amazon-owned studio has lost an important feather in its cap.

Daaaamn! And I enjoyed the 2018 one 🥺
