WATCH: The New TOMB RAIDER is Here. Trailer and Poster Uncovered.

Warner Bros. Pictures has released the official teaser trailer and poster for the action-adventure "Tomb Raider" which is an origin story of sorts that will tell how a young Lara Croft evolves into a literal heroine. The film stars Alicia Vikander in the lead role, under the direction of Roar Uthaug. The teaser features a lot of the remake "Tomb Raider" game's elements. While video games historically fail to translate well onto the big screen, this seems to be bucking the trend early on. Check out the trailer and poster below:

In the film, Lara Croft is the fiercely independent daughter of an eccentric adventurer who vanished when she was scarcely a teen. Now a young woman of 21 without any real focus or purpose, Lara navigates the chaotic streets of trendy East London as a bike courier, barely making the rent, and takes college courses, rarely making it to class. Determined to forge her own path, she refuses to take the reins of her father’s global empire just as staunchly as she rejects the idea that he’s truly gone. Advised to face the facts and move forward after seven years without him, even Lara can’t understand what drives her to finally solve the puzzle of his mysterious death. Going explicitly against his final wishes, she leaves everything she knows behind in search of her dad’s last-known destination: a fabled tomb on a mythical island that might be somewhere off the coast of Japan. But her mission will not be an easy one; just reaching the island will be extremely treacherous. Suddenly, the stakes couldn’t be higher for Lara, who—against the odds and armed with only her sharp mind, blind faith and inherently stubborn spirit—must learn to push herself beyond her limits as she journeys into the unknown. If she survives this perilous adventure, it could be the making of her, earning her the name tomb raider. The film also stars Dominic West, Walton Goggins and Daniel Wu.

"Tomb Raider" is distributed in the Philippines by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company. "Tomb Raider" opens in Philippine cinemas March 15, 2018.
