The newest trailer for the Tomb Raider reboot delves deeper into Laura Croft’s motivations and her Dad’s legacy. It goes into depth showing us what has been added beyond the game, and proves that this isn’t an invincible Laura anymore. A lot of this film seems to be inspired by the rebooted game series, in more ways than just the title. The trailer takes a few scenes directly from the games.
Check out the second official trailer below:
This trailer is full of amazing action, and Alicia Vikander (Ex Machina) looks great as a young Laura Croft. This trailer is all about her relationship with her father (Dominic West).
