Tomb Raider Lara Croft Graces Cover Of Total Film; New Set Photos Revealed

Though it's already common knowledge that video game movies don't work out, Hollywood still continues to develop these films. After the failure that was Assassin's Creed last year, Hollywood has taken Michael Fassbender's wife Alicia Vikander to star as Lara Croft in the Tomb Raider reboot.

Thanks to Total Film, we have some new set photos from Tomb Raider, as well as a gorgeous cover with Vikander in the spotlight. Check it out:

Compared to Angelina Jolie's Tomb Raider movies, this one will be based on the video game reboot that we got back in 2013. Though the game had Lara trying to escape a cursed island with crazy cultists, this film will have something to do with the search for her father. We don't know how close to the source material the movie will be, though.

Here's the official synopsis:

Lara Croft is the fiercely independent daughter of an eccentric adventurer who vanished years earlier. Hoping to solve the mystery of her father's disappearance, Croft embarks on a perilous journey to his last-known destination -- a fabled tomb on a mythical island that might be somewhere off the coast of Japan. The stakes couldn't be higher as Lara must rely on her sharp mind, blind faith and stubborn spirit to venture into the unknown.

Tomb Raider is set for a release on March 16, 2018.
