Producer Graham King has confirmed that the Alicia Vikander-starrer film will be focused on the recent titles, reported Digital Spy.
"Well this is kind of what we call a 'back to the roots story'. This is a young Lara Croft in search to see if her father is dead or alive, so it has a very emotional part to it and I think that's what Alicia found so interesting about it.
"I think the storytelling is really good and I think we've got the right crew and a great director and I think it's going to be really fun making a film like this."
The movie will be directed by Roar Uthaug.
