It’s been years since the release of Shadow of the Tomb Raider, and the fans are patiently waiting for the next entry in the franchise. While Crystal Dynamics is working hard on the title, leaks have suggested that we’ll see a more experienced Lara Craft with a demeanor comparable to the one in classic games. Although it’s unclear if the leaks of her guiding a new generation of Tomb Raiders are true, many fans hope the next game will be a hit.
Although Uncharted is a fantastic video gaming franchise, its similarities with Tomb Raider have seen both games being compared very often, with the former stealing a lot of attention on the PS3 and PS4 consoles. However, one of the senior brand directors for Tomb Raider at Crystal Dynamics has stated that a fine line separates Lara’s long-running series from Sony’s adventure franchise.

After describing it as an "epic" and "globe-trotting" series, she told attendees, "Phoebe has a lifelong love affair with Lara Croft and as soon and very soon we’ll start the worldwide search for who will play this iconic role and I just can’t wait."

In addition to being video game franchises, movies have even inspired online casino games and plenty of other activities throughout the iGaming sector. IP such as King Kong, Jurassic Park and even The Lord of The Rings have all been transformed...

She has also transitioned to behind the camera as a director, having helmed three films that have received acclaim and accolades.
Apart from her on-screen prowess, Angelina Jolie is known for her insanely good looks. The actress is often considered to be one of the most beautiful actresses in the world. Her consistent good looks, even at the age of 48, have sparked rumors about her going under the knife to maintain them. A cosmetic surgeon recently mentioned the type of lifts that the star may have had.

When Angelina Jolie Was Unhappy About A Character Because It Wasn’t Real Enough To Her ( Photo Credit – Facebook )
Angelina Jolie once, in an interview, revealed being unhappy about the portrayal of her character as it was not very racy. The actress even turned down that movie initially but then did it anyway. Jolie is one of the highest-paid and most successful actors in Hollywood. She is a global superstar who has done dozens of movies across various languages.
Jolie started her career as a child actor and shared the screen with her father, Jon Voight, in Lookin’ to Get Out. It was her screen debut.

While Fortnite‘s recent “Og” season helped the game set a new concurrent player count record, live service games are often only as good as their latest update. Well, Fortnite‘s latest update seemingly resulted in quite a few character skins being banned from the game, and players are scrambling to make sense of it all.
In case you didn’t know, character skins are an important part of the entire Fortnite experience. More than mere cosmetics, Fortnite‘s various character skins have helped establish the game’s personality. Acquiring them has become nearly as competitive as acquiring weapons and items in other battle royale titles.
More importantly, those skins have helped earn Fortnite developer Epic Games a ridiculous amount of money over the years. That’s because many of Fortnite‘s most popular character skins are based on existing properties. By turning Fortnite into the world’s largest billboard,...

Star Trek quandaries are most provocative when they illustrate a solid "What if?" scenario.
Star Trek: Lower Decks Season 4 Episode 10 offers renegade miscreant Nick Locarno up as a "What if?" foil to Mariner, embodying a potential future Beckett where rage and ego have derailed skill and talent.
Meanwhile, Tendi must live out the "What if?" of her returning to her family of pirates because the needs of the many outweigh her dream of being a Starfleet scientist.
This season finale does what Lower Decks has always done well, building a fast-paced action comedy on the foundation of Star Trek canon.
At this point, it's pretty meta, as much of the canon it references is its own.
I'll admit that this season has managed to subvert many of my expectations.

In the world of movies and TV shows, there are countless adaptations that have been made from popular novels and biographical works. But these forms of entertainment have also been inspired by and adapted from some of the biggest video games, which don't get nearly as much attention as they should. In 2023, HBO's acclaimed series "The Last of Us," based on the Sony action-adventure game franchise of the same name, broke viewership records and became the most-watched show in the history of the streaming platform in Europe and Latin America, per the Associated Press.
Along with television series, video-game-to-movie adaptations have also grown in popularity among audiences, with the star-studded "The Super Mario Bros." movie, adapted from the beloved game franchise by Nintendo, being the second-highest grossing film of 2023 so far, as reported by Insider.

The gaming industry has always had a turbulent relationship with Hollywood. For every hit adaptation, there are countless misses that leave fans cringing and wondering, “Why?” However, the recent cinematic journey of Super Mario seems to have flipped the script and set a new standard.
Let’s roll back a bit. Historically, game-to-film adaptations have been met with skepticism. Remember the initial reception to Angelina Jolie‘s portrayal of Lara Croft or the infamous “Street Fighter” adaptation? How about the not-so-fondly-remembered 1993 Super Mario Bros. with Bob Hoskins and John Leguizamo? All these films had their moments, but they couldn’t capture the heart of the games they aimed to represent.

Action franchises feel more popular than ever before, but there still seems to be a dearth of female action stars on-screen. Alicia Vikander helped change that in 2018, packing on 12 kilograms of muscle to star in a scrappy reboot of "Tomb Raider." Compared to Angelina Jolie's two-film turn as Lara Croft, Vikander was on a completely different level. Both iterations of "Tomb Raider" have their merits, of course, but the reboot eschewed the oversexualized, mid-noughties tone that had plagued the property for years. For once, Lara Croft was free of the male gaze. That's not to say that Vikander didn't look amazing in Lara's iconic grey tank and khaki fatigues. (Those shoulders! Those abs!) But the film put as much emphasis on the character's inner world — and her harrowing origin story — as it did on her looks.
And clearly, that renewed focus paid off. "Tomb Raider" wasn't exactly a critical darling,...

Sarah Jessica Parker’s role in Sex and the City and other ventures once made her one of the highest-earning actors in show business. At one point, her earnings rivaled movie star Angelina Jolie’s, which was surprising to Parker.

Jolie and Parker had two different career paths. Jolie built up her career through a variety of movies, like Girl, Interrupted and Original Sin. She also began developing a reputation as an action star. The Lara Croft films and Mr. and Mrs. Smith were just a couple of projects that demonstrated her credibility as an action hero.

Angelina Jolie once played a huge part in adapting the popular Tomb Raider games to the big screen. But when it was time to take the movies in a new direction, it was believed that Jolie aged out of the role.

Jolie’s feelings towards the Tomb Raider franchise was as mixed as the films’ critics. According to Rotten Tomatoes, both movies received pretty low ratings. The majority of critic reviews resulted in a 20% score for Lara Croft: Tomb Raider. The film’s sequel, The Cradle Of Life, scored a little higher with a 24% score based on 175 reviews. According to Black Film, Jolie also seemed underwhelmed by the first Tomb Raider movie.

At the turn of the year, HeyUGuys were lucky enough to head to Paris to interview some of the biggest stars of the French film industry, ahead of theatrical releases in the UK across the year. One interview, with talented actress Anaïs Demoustier, actually covered two bases, as she was promoting both Smoking Causes Coughing and November. Two films that couldn’t be more different from one another. Naturally we discussed the diversity of roles, and her ambitions in the industry. And she also talks about how Lara Croft became an unlikely inspiration…
The very fact I am speaking to you today about Smoking Causes Coughing and November is symbolic of your diverse choices as an actress, a performer who is difficult to define. Is that something you do consciously, trying to find different roles, and different projects, or do you just follow the best stories, and see where it takes you?...

Real life archaeology is rarely as exciting as movies make it out to be. It’s a career loaded with dusty tomes, intellectual infighting, and a mad scrabble to earn one of the few spots left for university tenure. A field dig isn’t a thrill ride either. The biggest excitement usually comes from dealing with a country’s military personnel, and licking things to see if they’re rock or bone. If it sticks to your tongue, it’s bone, and you’re probably tasting human remains. Also, to be clear, you will probably never need a gun. Much less a rocket launcher.
Setting the tiny picks and brushes aside, however, pop culture archaeologists are still some of our favorite protagonists. They embody the heart of the science; a joy of discovery and a call to adventure that still brings people to the study of our past. From The Mummy...

Last weekend, we saw the end of the Indiana Jones franchise as Harrison Ford has stated that The Dial Of Destiny is the last time he’ll don the fedora and whip. Well, it will be the franchise’s end unless Disney decides to squeeze every last drop they can out of it, which is never out of the question. When the film hits screens, we’ll be seeing Indy for the last time. Film fans always need something else to fill in their viewing void, so what are the best movies like Indiana Jones?

Tomb Raider is set for yet another reboot. It was announced earlier this year that Phoebe Waller-Bridge will develop a Tomb Raider TV series for Prime Video. The Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny star told Vanity Fair that she was an avid player of the original video games when she was younger and that she hopes to bring back some of those ’90s vibes for the series.
“God, it literally felt like that teenager in me saying: do right by her, do right by Lara!” Phoebe Waller-Bridge said when Amazon approached her about the Tomb Raider series. “The opportunity to have, as we were talking earlier, a female action character….

Phoebe Waller-Bridge feels like her recent stint in action films has prepared her for adapting the “Tomb Raider” video game for Amazon Prime Video.
“The opportunity to have, as we were talking earlier, a female action character…. Having worked on Bond and having worked as an actor on ‘Indy’, I feel like I’ve been building up to this,’ she told Vanity Fair. “What if I could take the reins on an action franchise, with everything I’ve learned, with a character I adore, and also just bring back some of that ’90s vibe? It’s such a wonderful feeling to think you know what to do.”
Waller-Bridge spoke with Vanity Fair in April before joining the Writers Guild of America strike, which recently reached its 50th consecutive day. She played “Tomb Raider” as a teenager, remembering the game’s main character Lara Croft well.

Tomb Raider star Alicia Vikander is finally ready to share her thoughts about Lara Croft’s future and the disappointment of watching plans for another chance to play the character go up in smoke. MGM sold the rights to the Tomb Raider franchise to Amazon Prime Video last summer, effectively killing Vikander’s chance to star in a sequel to her 2018 reboot. Rather than make a sequel to Roar Uthaug’s film, Prime Video is teaming up with writer and Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny star Phoebe Waller-Bridge for a TV series. Amazon wants to turn Tomb Raider into an expansive franchise. While plans for the television reboot remain a mystery, Vikander is not involved.
Speaking with Variety, Vikander told the outlet she’s grateful for the chance to have played such an iconic character and would not rule out returning if asked.

With a new season comes new mess for the best friends at the center of the Prime Video comedy Harlem. (The first two Season 2 episodes premiered on Friday; two new episodes will stream weekly.)
Picking up right where we left off, Ian and Camille were interrupted mid-kiss by his fiancée Mira, who at first pretended not to see what they were doing. But she couldn’t keep the façade up for long and called them both out for betraying her a second time — they also kissed at the Titanic party in the early part of Season 1 — before storming off.
