Tomb Raider, originally one of the largest video game series in the 1990s, now is about to make a comeback as a popular heroin on the big screen. However, the remake, which will hopefully release in 2013, will cast a new star for Lara Croft.

British film producer Graham King was able to acquire the feature film rights to the action-adventure franchise. He will reboot the film, which was previously lead by American actress Angelina Jolie.

Angelina Jolie appeared in King’s recently produced hit film “The Tourist.” Her two former “Tomb Raider” movies namely, “Lara Croft: Tomb Raider” in 2001 and “Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life” in 2003 accumulated a total amount of $432 million earnings all over the world.

According to sources, GK Films wants to film a story about the origin of Lara Craft, instead of her new adventures. Thus, King might seek a new face for the movie as he hopes to create a plot for a younger Croft, who can do extraordinary adventures just like how Angelina did in the first two Tomb Raider films.

There has been no writer hired yet to do the film’s screenplay.

The game “Tomb Raider” was created by Eidos in 1996, and is now part of the Japanese video game and publishing company Square Enix. Crystal Dynamics, a subsidiary of Enix, said last December that it was creating a latest “Tomb Raider” game, which is already based on the origins of Lara Croft.

In the late 2000s, the rights to the game franchise went back to Eidos that collaborated with Warner Bros in order to develop a new version. However, that version never pushed through the writing stage.
