I love the casting but I'm indifferent about the director. When do you think we'll get our first teaser? I'm thinking we'll have our first full trailer with Justice League (both big budget Warner. Bros. films).

Wow it's a March release? Maybe. Or preferably they release it sooner like attached to a blockbuster film this summer.

So is it based off the 2013 re-imagining I guess?

I feel like it's going to be exactly what I didn't want them to do, the reboot. Young girl gradually learns to kill, she's not already deadly and skilled. It's obviously what a studio would choose to do these days but it's just boring, and Vikander doesn't suit the part at all, they should have got an English actress built for action with an actual personality.

Go watch "Man From U.N.C.L.E" she was meant for the reboot part. Jolie however will always be Lara Croft pre-reboot.

The "reboot" part is the problem, it's a dull origin story, not something that can last.

As far as this film and the "dull origin story", I don't agree. I played through the game twice or more (On old-gen and new-gen systems) it easily has an equal origin story to Iron Man (2008, a film I love) IF done properly in a cinematic way. Also without even seeing a teaser trailer don't you think you're judging this way to early, way to harshly? I think so. Anyway I'm game for a Tomb Raider reboot and thankfully we're getting just that.

The reboot character is just a girl who struggles and has to keep shooting guys until she escapes, rather than a trained explorer who can have a long career. And I don't really care if you think I'm judging it too harshly.

I haven't played the latest reboot games, I've only played the demo of TR2 back in the 90s, and the I played the reboot series from 2006 (Anniversary, Legend, Underworld).
As long as Aliicia's accent is on par, I think i'll be fine. can't say i've seen her in any adventure movies tho, only film i've seen her in is Ex Machina.

it's probably pointless to lament not getting a movie based on the Crystal Dynamics interpretation but here i am doing it anyway.

Im actually looking forward to it altho I wish someone else was playing lara. I'm not bothered by Alicia Vikander as Lara but man, it was a missed opportunity to cast someone like Rebecca Ferguson or Hayley Atwell.
