Warners Bros. and producer Dan "Sherlock Holmes" Lin are in early development on a reboot of "Tomb Raider", the video game franchise first published in 1996 by Eidos, starring archaeologist action hero 'Lara Croft'.Designed by Toby Gard, the character has been featured in movies, comic books, novels and a series of animated short films, presented as a beautiful, intelligent, athletic and reckless Englishwoman of noble birth who travels the world in pursuit of priceless antiquities.
Lara frequently ventures into ancient and often hazardous tombs, ruins, traps and puzzles, encountering a variety of enemies including rivals, gangsters, prehistoric animals, legendary creatures and supernatural beings.
Considered a multi-million dollar earning franchise, a 10th-anniversary edition of the "Tomb Raider" video game was released in 2006.Paramount previously made two movies based on the game, but rights have since reverted to Eidos, backed by Time Warner owning 19% of the company.
Lin will produce the new film through his Lin Pictures banner with co-producer Stephen Gilchrist, reimagining the origins of the character, her love interest and the main villain.
The Paramount films starred actress Angelina Jolie as 'Lady Croft'...
