So we have heard for quite some time, that a Tomb Raider

reboot was in the works, but it seems that MGM and Warner 

Bros have finally found a director to helm the new Tomb 

Raider reboot. 

According to the good folks over at THR, Norwegian filmaker

Roar Uthaug will attempt to get the new franchise of the 

ground.

The last Tomb Raider movies which starred Angalina Jolie

as the popular video game character Lara Croft in 2001 and 

the sequel in 2003 where largely unsuccessful. So what 

will Uthaug bring to the new reboot? 


Well Uthaug last helmed the disaster movie TAhe Wave, 

which seemed to have drawn a mixed response on the 

festive circuit, but regardless how critics felt, it seems the 

studio must be big fans of his work to trust him with a 

property as huge as Tomb Raider. 

Uthaug will possibly be joined by Geneva Robertson-Dworet 

who at this time is in negotiations to pen the screenplay to 

the reboot.
