We have not heard a lot about the upcoming Tomb Raider film sequel, although that’s comprehensible, as many tv and movie productions are simply now actually beginning to get again underway because of the coronavirus pandemic. Tomb Raider star Alicia Vikander, who will probably be reprising the function of Lara Croft within the upcoming sequel, revealed to Good Morning America that the pandemic has additionally had an impact on the sequel, however regardless of the delays, she gave followers one thing to stay up for with an replace on the movie’s standing. Thankfully Vikander confirmed that the sequel was nonetheless taking place and that it’s concentrating on 2021. You can discover Vikander’s full feedback under (through EW).
“The plan was for us to start out making one this 12 months, in fact because of the [pandemic] scenario, that is now very totally different,” Vikander mentioned. “We’re nonetheless in discussions about it, so I hope we are able to in all probability get to it subsequent 12 months.”
That’s nice information, and hopefully, we’ll study extra in regards to the movie’s precise plot and premise sooner reasonably than later. Vikander will probably be reprising her function from the primary movie, and Tomb Raider 2 will probably be directed by Ben Wheatley. Amy Jump is writing the script for the movie whereas Graham King is producing the film below the GK Films banner. Wheatley is thought for his work on movies like Kill List and Free Fire, tasks that he labored on with Jump. Wheatley will probably be taking up directing duties from Roar Uthaug, who helmed the unique Tomb Raider.
The Tomb Raider reboot was produced on a price range of $94 million and ended up pulling in $58 million domestically. Worldwide it introduced in $274 million, and although it was closely marketed it seems to be to have made a worthwhile quantity for the studio. The first movie was based mostly on the Crystal Dynamics reboot of the franchise, which has introduced the franchise and the character of Lara Croft again to essential acclaim over its final three titles, which included Tomb Raider, Rise of the Tomb Raider, and Shadow of the Tomb Raider.
It stays to be seen if it’s going to take after Rise of the Tomb Raider as intently as the primary movie took on the unique reboot, or if it’s going to look to fill in some gaps between these tales and create one thing a bit totally different. Recent reports say that the next film will probably be a mix of Rise of the Tomb Raider and Shadow of the Tomb Raider, however these haven’t been confirmed by the studio. The first movie adopted the reboot fairly intently with only a few parts from Rise, and hopefully, we’ll get to see extra from Rise within the sequel, as Shadow may actually be a whole movie by itself.
