After all the rumours that a certain Daisy Ridley would be putting her Lightsaber down and play the heroine icon Lara Croft, it seems that the force may not have been that strong with her as in a surprise move, Alicia Vikander has been confirmed for the lead role in the planned Tomb Raider film for 2017.
There was always a doubt that Ridley could fit such another high profile role in her already full Star Wars calendar but this is a real coup for the studio who have managed to sign up the in demand actress who is currently riding high thanks to her Oscar turn in The Danish Girl.
Vikander also won acclaim for her role in Ex Machina and will be seen next in the new Jason Bourne film.
Taking over from Angelina Jolie, in what were two poor films, which were not well received by fans of the computer game, the new Tomb Raider which is to be directed by Roar Uthaug and there are big plans to turn this into a huge franchise.
More as we get it!

Since my mother sat me down at the age of five years of age and watched a little called Halloween, I have been hooked on horror. There is no other genre that gets me excited and takes me to the edge of entertainment. I watch everything from old, new, to cheap and blockbusters, but I promise all my readers that I will always give an honest opinion, and I hope whoever reads this review section, will find a film that they too can love as much as I do! Have fun reading, and please DO HAVE NIGHTMARES!!!!!!
