Lara Croft will continue to plunder the tombs
Last year's "Lara Croft" can hardly be called a hit: critics scolded her, Americans completely refused to spend money on watching her in cinemas. In the United States, the reboot failed, grossing just $ 58 million on a $ 94 million budget, but international audiences were more loyal to the adventurer. A worldwide gross of $ 274 million saved Lara Croft from financial ruin, and that was enough for MGM and Warner Bros. the sequel was launched.The sequel to the action adventure has already got a screenwriter: Amy Jump will be writing the text. She is known for her collaboration with her husband, director Ben Wheatley. Jump has co-authored such films as Death List, Field in England, High-Rise and Shootout, all of which are strikingly different from what viewers are used to seeing in films about Lara Croft.  The details of the sequel are kept secret. At the end of the first part, the heroine Christine Scott Thomas turned out to be a villain, and it is not yet clear whether this storyline will develop in the future, or whether Jump will ignore the ideas of her predecessors. Alicia Vikander will return to the role of Lara Croft, because it was her critics who called the blockbuster's only strong point, and insiders say that the actress liked Jump's ideas. But the director's chair of the project will probably not be taken by Roar Uthaug, but by another filmmaker. Source: Deadline The Topic of Article: Lara Croft will continue to plunder the tombs. |
