Rebooting Lara Croft

Producer Graham King has called his next big screen tomb raider production a character piece which he claims will be something a lot different. Graham has a lot of Hollywood hits to his name which included ‘the departed’ ’blood diamond’ and ‘gangs of New York’ and he said he is going to give it a shot a rebooting the gaming franchise.

The box office films weren’t disasters but graham finds it interesting that the story that he is trying to tell is the story before she became the real Lara croft so it’s all about the character. It does have a lot of really great characters, but it's a lot of action and a lot of fun, and for me. I've not really done a movie like that before, but I really gravitated to rebooting this franchise.

Previously GK Films has said it's aiming to create an "origin story’’ for Lara Croft that solidifies her place alongside Ellen Ripley and Sarah Connor in the pantheon of great female action heroes to date
