Warner Bros. has just released the first trailer for Tomb Raider. The famous adventurer is this time played by Alicia Wikander, the beautiful Swedish actress. This return is not to the taste of aficionados since most video game adaptations are not up to the original material.
For this new adventure, Lara follows in the footsteps of her missing father, played by the excellent Dominic West. The British actor has been a safe bet on the small and big screen for many years. He was seen in The Wire and The Affair, two critically acclaimed series. The rest of the cast is also interesting. In the role of the great villain of the story, Walter Goggins. The American actor is a real chameleon who has no trouble playing various roles. He is currently starring in the second part of the HBO comedy series Vice-Principals. He is also experienced in atypical roles, we could see him in Justified, Sons of Anarchy. We just hope that he will have some freedom to be a major villain.
Tomb Raider, a new version well inspired by games
Playing a video game heroine in cinema is not a simple challenge. When you see the particularly interesting filmography of the actress, it is difficult to understand the choice of Alicia Vikander. The first images were also particularly criticized by several Internet users.The facial expressions of the actress in the face of danger do not reassure skeptics. However, his duet with Daniel Wu (Into The Badlands) seems to work and could give some tasty sequences. In addition, the sets of the film are quite varied and seem realistic. One of the important points will be the fact of succeeding in creating a special atmosphere for the fans to find their way around.
The plot resembles the game released in 2013. The adventurer finds herself on a Japanese island where she will have to find her way in a particularly hostile context.
The film will be released in theaters on March 1, 2018.
