The actress has signed on to play heroine Lara Croft for MGM&#8217;s reboot of their <strong>Tomb Raider<\/strong> video game big screen adaptation franchise.<\/p>\n<p>According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20170821074742\/http:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com:80\/heat-vision\/alicia-vikander-star-as-lara-888593\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Hollywood Reporter<\/a>, the film will present Lara Crodt&#8217;s origins, as it tells &#8220;the story of a young and untested Croft fighting to survive her first adventure.&#8221; <strong>The Wave<\/strong> director Roar Uthaug has already been signed to direct the film.<\/p>\n<p>Vikander pretty much exploded on the movie scene last year with great performances in <strong>Ex Machina<\/strong>, <strong>Burnt<\/strong> and even the otherwise lackluster <strong>The Man From U.N.C.L.E.<\/strong>, while her turn in <strong>The Danish Girl<\/strong> secured her the Best Supporting Actress award at this year&#8217;s Oscars. This year we will be seeing her in  the drama <strong>The Light Between Oceans<\/strong> and alongside Matt Damon in <strong>Jason Bourne<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Previously, Angelina Jolie was the big screen incarnation of the adventuring, tomb raiding Lara Croft in 2001&#8217;s <strong>Lara Croft: Tomb Raider<\/strong> and 2003&#8217;s <strong>Lara Croft: Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life<\/strong>. Although they made money, they weren&#8217;t well received critically.<\/p>\n<p>The Hollywood Reporter&#8217;s story does not list a release date for the film, nor does it state if there is a director signed on to the project yet, so it may be some time before we see the resultant film.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\">The Oscar-winning actress will be taking on the role of the iconic video game heroine.<\/div>\n<p> <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/2016\/04\/28\/alicia-vikander-lara-croft-tomb-raider\/\" title=\"Alicia Vikander Is The New Lara Croft For TOMB RAIDER Reboot\">[click for more]<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[84],"tags":[7795,3714],"series":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-38414","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-news","7":"tag-alicia-vikander","8":"tag-tomb-raider"},"aioseo_notices":[],"nelio_content":{"autoShareEndMode":"never","automationSources":{"useCustomSentences":false,"customSentences":[]},"efiAlt":"","efiUrl":"","followers":[2],"highlights":[],"isAutoShareEnabled":false,"networkImageIds":[],"permalinkQueryArgs":[],"series":[],"suggestedReferences":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38414","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=38414"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38414\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=38414"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=38414"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=38414"},{"taxonomy":"series","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/series?post=38414"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
