Game adaptation blockbusters in the past two years in Hollywood is more popular, there are "Monster Hunter", "Mortal Kombat" such as the hot work, "Resident Evil" such as the upcoming restart series, has produced almost the same "Uncharted Sea", the future there are "Metal Gear Solid", "Borderlands" and so on a lot of projects, and "Tomb Raider" This theme, in a number of game adaptation blockbusters, is actually more old and famous, because the two old versions of "Tomb Raider" starring Angelina Jolie are many people's childhood memories. And 2018's "Tomb Raider: Battle of the Origins" is a reboot of this series, and it can be seen from the choice of protagonists that the reboot version intends to take a completely different path.
Compared with Angelina Jolie, the skinny Alicia Vikander lacks some glamorous feelings, but it is more in line with the image of Laura in the new game in recent years, and the role positioning is more realistic, not like Julie's version of Laura's omnipotent, the weakening of the superhero atmosphere, and the style of the film itself "touching the gold tomb", bringing a suspense atmosphere closer to the original game. Although everyone generally has a low evaluation of "Tomb Raider: Battle of the Origins", frankly speaking, the new version is not much in addition to the big scenes, and the whole is still on the passing line.
The rebooted sequel has long been put on the agenda, the original director is the British director Ben Wittley, but the follow-up may be in response to the trend of the times, let the female director to direct the female protagonist blockbuster, may also be because Ben Wittley took over the directing of "Megalodon 2", there is a conflict in the schedule, in short, the director of the film was later replaced by female director Misa Green (the representative american drama "Devil's Land"), Alicia Vikander confirmed the return to play Laura. In the latest interview, Alicia Vikander revealed the progress of some projects, she said that she is very happy to be working with a female director of her own age, they have sat together to discuss the various grand action scenes in the film, and the epidemic has a certain impact on the project, the film has not officially given the green light to the start of the film, but the script is still in the tense work, everyone is very excited, and she is looking forward to playing Laura again soon.
Previously, director Mischa Green had already posted a sequel subtitle that was rejected by the upper echelons on the Internet - "Obsidian". Therefore, the screenplay of the film should have been almost carried out, and I look forward to the news that the film officially started to come soon.
On the other hand, this is not the only "Tomb Raider" theme in preparation, Netflix is already preparing an animated version of the "Tomb Raider" series, it is reported that although this animated series will not be associated with the live-action version of the movie, but its world view, will be set in recent years of the "Tomb Raider" game world view, that is, this project, can be called an "official" animated series! However, the specific settings of the series still need to wait for further exposure.
Netflix isn't the first time it's created a spin-off animated series of hit movies or games, jurassic world: Cretaceous Camp, Fast & Furious: Spy Racer, and Transformers: Battle for Cybertron, among others.
It is worth mentioning that the voice actor of the heroine Laura of this animated series has been determined to be Hayley Atwell, that is, the heroine agent of "American Team" that many Marvel fans are familiar with, she has just voiced Captain Carter for the popular Marvel animation "If", it is said that she may play a live-action version of Captain Carter in the future, and she has also joined Atango's "Mission Impossible 7" to play an important role.
Two different forms of tomb raider projects, two different versions of Laura, which one would you expect more?
