Tomb Raider

Director Roar Uthaug

Genre Action | Adventure

Cast Alicia Vikander, Dominic West, Walton Goggins, Daniel Wu

Rating PG-13

Release Date March 16th, 2018

“Lara Croft, the fiercely independent daughter of a missing adventurer, must push herself beyond her limits when she finds herself on the island where her father disappeared.”

From Norwegian director Roar Uthaug (Escape, The Wave), Tomb Raider is the latest film adaptation of the extremely popular action adventure videogame. Tomb Raider was always one of my favorite games growing up, and I would be lying if I didn't admit that the sexy main character contributed significantly to the appeal. The videogame version is still alive and well with a new game having come out recently. The most first actress to step into the role on the big-screen was Angelina Jolie, and she did pretty well as far as fans were concerned (just don't ask the critics), but now it's Alicia Vikander's chance. Vikander fits the role well if I say so myself and this trailer has me pumped up! I look forward to her version of the beautiful Lara Croft. The cast includes Alicia Vikander, Walton Goggins, Hannah John-Kamen, and Dominic West. Check out the official trailers below!!

Ted Takes Fun Facts, Tomb Raider:

• The film's plot will be based off the 2013 reboot of the video game series.
• Alicia Vikander was actually a fan of the video game series growing up.
• Alicia Vikander will not only be the second actress to portray Lara Croft in a movie, but also the second Oscar winning actress to do so after Angelina Jolie.

Ted Takes Fun Facts, Love, Simon:

• Although the movie is titled 'Love, Simon' it is actually an adaptation of the book 'Simon vs The Homosapiens Agenda'. The movie originally had the same name as the book, but it was too long to say, hence the name change.
• Temple Hill Entertainment will be producing the movie, known for adapting novels such as 'The Fault in Our Stars' and 'The Maze Runner'.
