List of Tomb Raider media

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from The Lara Croft Collection)

Tomb Raider is a media franchise consisting of action-adventure games, comic books, novels, theme park rides, and films, centring on the adventures of the female fictional British archaeologist Lara Croft. Since the release of the original Tomb Raider in 1996, the series developed into a franchise of the same name, and Lara went on to become a major icon of the video game industry. The Guinness Book of World Records recognised Lara Croft as the "Most Successful Human Videogame Heroine" in 2006. Six games in the series were developed by Core Design, and the latest six by Crystal Dynamics. The games were first published by Eidos Interactive; Eidos became part of Square Enix in April 2009. Embracer Group owns the rights to the Tomb Raider trademark and characters of the franchise.[1] Three films were released: Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, Lara Croft: Tomb Raider – The Cradle of Life and Tomb Raider. The first two star American actress Angelina Jolie as Lara Croft, and the third Swedish actress Alicia Vikander.[2]

The Tomb Raider video games have together sold over 100 million units,[3] making it one of the best-selling video game series of all time.[4]

  • Tomb Raider III (Playstation 2)- A survival game that was briefly in development in late 1997. A reskin with a new IP was also attempted but did not release.[44]
  • The Further Adventures of Lara Croft- An expansion pack for Tomb Raider II. In late 1997 this project was adapted into a full sequel and released as Tomb Raider III in 1998.[44]
  • The Lost Dominion- A sequel to The Angel of Darkness was in early development in 2003, but cancelled after the disappointing release of its predecessor.[45]
  • 10th Anniversary- a PSP remake of the first game that was in development from 2005 to 2006. Cancelled after Rebellion purchased Core Design, but inspired Anniversary (2007). An Indiana Jones reskin was briefly attempted.[46]

Films

[edit]

There were initially two film adaptations made in the early 2000s that starred Angelina Jolie as Lara Croft in Lara Croft: Tomb Raider in 2001 and its sequel, The Cradle of Life, in 2003. While both films were financially successful, neither of them were well received by critics. A reboot starring Alicia Vikander as Lara Croft was released in 2018, which was better received.[47] A sequel of the 2018 film was in development with Vikander returning as Croft but it was later canceled with the film rights reverted to the game company and prompted a bidding war among studios. Lara Croft makes a minor appearance in the 2018 film Ready Player One.[48]

In 2015, Adrian Askarieh, producer of the Hitman films, stated that he hoped to oversee a shared universe of Square Enix films with Just Cause, Hitman, Tomb Raider, Deus Ex, and Thief, but admitted that he does not have the rights to Tomb Raider.[49] Some reports such as the Game Central reporters at Metro UK commented that the shared universe was unlikely, pointing out that no progress had been made on any Just Cause, Deus Ex nor Thief films.[50]

A short film called Tomb Raider: The Trilogy was produced in 1998 by Silver Films for the Tomb Raider III launch party. The film was not screened outside the event at the Natural History Museum in London. Producer Janey de Nordwall found the original digibeta tape and released the short film on the Tomb Raider YouTube page in 2016.[51][52]

A short film entitled The Myth of El Hawa was released in 2022. It covers the missing storyline explaining Lara's survival between Revelations and The Angel of Darkness. It was written by Murti Schofield, the writer from The Angel of Darkness, and featured returning Lara voice actress Jonell Elliott, who collaborated with fans to produce the film.[53][54]

Tomb Raider (2018)

[edit]

Rumors of a third film adaptation appeared in 2007, and was announced in 2009.[55][56] The film rights were acquired by GK Films in 2011, confirming its development four years later, with the involvement of Warner Bros. and MGM. The film is a reboot, showing Lara's first adventure and is based on the 2013 video game with Lara searching for her father.[57][58][59] Alicia Vikander was cast as Lara Croft in the reboot.[60][61] Walton Goggins was cast as the film's villain; he called the plot "Raiders of the Lost Ark meets a genre version of the Joseph Conrad novel Victory: An Island Tale".[62][63][64] Daniel Wu was cast as Lu Ren, a ship captain who joins forces with the adventurous Lara Croft on her quest to find her father.[65] The film was released on 16 March 2018.[66] Filming began on 23 January 2017.[67][68]

Tomb Raider: Obsidian (cancelled)

[edit]

Prior to the release of the reboot film, Alicia Vikander expressed interest in returning as Lara Croft for a second film.[69] In April 2019, Amy Jump was hired to write a script for a possible sequel, with Vikander attached.[70] In September, Ben Wheatley, Jump's husband, signed on to direct the sequel, that was planned for a 19 March 2021 release date and his long-time cinematographer Laurie Rose would also work on the sequel.[71][72] In January 2021, Misha Green signed to replace Jump and Wheatley as writer and director. The film was planned to be released theatrically in the U.S. via the studio's distribution and marketing joint venture United Artists Releasing, and internationally through Warner Bros. Pictures.[73] The first draft of the script was completed in May,[74] with the working title Tomb Raider: Obsidian.[75] In July 2022, MGM lost the film rights to the Tomb Raider franchise, after the window ran out to give the sequel the green light, culminating in Vikander's departure from the lead role. The rights reverted to the game company and prompted a bidding war among studios.[76]

Untitled Amazon film

[edit]

In January 2023, MGM sister company Amazon Studios (now known as Amazon MGM Studios) secured the rights to a new Tomb Raider reboot film, with Dmitri M. Johnson and his company dj2 Entertainment attached to produce. The film was intended to be interconnected with a television series from Phoebe Waller-Bridge and a video game from Crystal Dynamics, forming a Tomb Raider shared universe and franchise.[77]

Revisioned: Tomb Raider (2007)

[edit]

In 2007, an animated series based on the character was produced and broadcast by GameTap as part of a series of re-imaginings of popular video game series. Titled Revisioned: Tomb Raider, the series voiced by Minnie Driver ran between May and June 2007. Multiple noted animators and writers were involved with the series, including Peter Chung, Warren Ellis, Gail Simone and Jim Lee.[78] While the production team had great creative freedom, they were given a basic guideline for the character by the developers so that Lara would not do anything out of character.[79]

Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft (2024)

[edit]

In late January 2021, Netflix and Legendary Entertainment announced an anime-style series adaptation based on the franchise, with Tasha Huo as the showrunner and executive producer.[80] The series will primarily take place after the events of its video game reboot trilogy.[80] Hayley Atwell will voice Lara Croft in the anime series.[81] Earl Baylon, who voiced Jonah Maiava from the Shadow of the Tomb Raider, reprises his role. Allen Maldonado voices Lara's tech expert, Zip.[82] Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft was released on 10 October 2024.[83][84]

Future television series

[edit]

In late January 2023, The Hollywood Reporter reported that Phoebe Waller-Bridge was developing a Tomb Raider television series for Amazon Prime Video.[85] It was officially greenlit and titled 'Tomb Raider' in May 2024 and will be produced by Crystal Dynamics and Amazon MGM Studios. Waller-Bridge will write the series and serve as an executive producer alongside Jenny Robbins through Wells Street Productions. Other executive producers include Dmitri M. Johnson through dj2 Entertainment, as well as Michael Scheel and Legendary Television.[86][87] It was revealed by Amazon Studios' Jennifer Salke in a interview with Variety that Waller-Bridge is working in close partnership with the game's general manager Dallas Dickinson and the game producers but there are no any new updates.[80] On October 29, 2024, Deadline reports that Sophie Turner and Lucy Boynton have tested for Lara Croft and also have Emma Corrin and Mackenzie Davis on their wishlist for the role as well.[88] On November 14, 2024, it was reported that Turner is in talks for the role.[89]

Comics

[edit]

Beginning in 1997, Lara Croft was featured in multiple comics produced by Top Cow Productions. Her first appearance is a cameo in Witchblade. She later appeared in a titular comic book series which ran for fifty issues from 1999 to 2005. An attempt by Top Cow to restart the comic in 2007 stalled due to licensing issues.[101][102][103] A new comic book series began in 2014, set within the 2013 reboot's continuity and bridging the narrative gap between the reboot and its sequel.[104]

Novels

[edit]

Six official novels have also been written. The first three, set within the original timeline, were published between 2003 and 2005. The first novel, The Amulet of Power, was set after the events of The Last Revelation, while its sequels The Lost Cult and The Man of Bronze are set after the first novel.[105][106][107] Another novel set within the 2013 reboot timeline, Tomb Raider: The Ten Thousand Immortals, was published in 2014 as a continuation of the original story.[108] A fifth book, titled Lara Croft and the Blade of Gwynnever, also written by Dan Abnett and Nik Vincent was published in late 2016, and is a stand-alone adventure.[109] The sixth book, Path to Apocalypse, written by S. D. Perry and published in 2018, is a tie-in to the Shadow of the Tomb Raider game and is set between the Mexico and Peru parts of the game.[110]
