[SirKai]

oh no.

 

[chandoog]

The first one was just .. ok.. i guess ..

Not really a big loss imo.

 

[Cess007]

There was a sequel in the works? I'd no idea

 

[ILikeFeet]

how bout that kane and lynch movie tho

 

[Saikyo]

What are we gonna do?

Spoiler

Bring back Angelina Jolie and continue the old series

 

[Lego Killer Moth]

didn't realize this was still happening

 

[Uzupedro]

I had no idea that a sequel was confirmed, I really liked the first one.

 

[ZeoVGM]

It's so delayed that it was delayed indefinitely delayed.

 

[Order]

There was a Tomb Raider movie? what

 

[Deleted member 10629]

I unironically liked the first one

 

[Mekanos]

That shit ain't coming out.

 

[rpm]

Didn't even know there was a sequel in the works

 

[NoTimeToDie]

Loved the first one. That's unfortunate. The wife even enjoyed it in theaters with me. Hoping we get an update next year. Damn you COVID!!!!

 

[Yuntu]

yeah i assume a lot of movies are going to share a similiar fate

 

[EvilChameleon]

Loved the first movie. Vikander was great as Croft. Will be a shame if this gets scrapped.

 

[kevin1025]

This is all The Meg 2's fault!

Yeah it was solid.
That bike race with the paint can was a real fun part in particular.

It was pretty solid. I liked it and very much wanted a sequel. "I'll take two" at the end was hype as fuck.

 

[Bishop89]

Reboot it again, but with Jolie

 

[Etrian Darkness]

It's getting one?

 

[Z-Beat]

They delayed the indefinite delay

 

[Zaied]

I was wondering what became of this film since they announced it such a while ago. The first one was one of my least favorite video game film adaptations, though — enjoyed it much less than the Jolie films even.

 

[Strings]

Ben Wheatley recently signed onto The Meg 2 (lol), so yeah.

 

[dgamemaster]

I smell a soft cancellation...

Ah well, it's no major loss for me. Tomb Raider movie wasn't that good.

 

[purseowner]

This was going to be directed by Ben Wheatley of all people, wasn't it?

Edit: Yep, I didn't dream that.

What are we gonna do?

Why? I think Vikander is a much better Lara than Angelina was.

 

[Prine]

First one was rubbish. No loss really.

Yeah, recasting was definitely the right call. Shame the movie wasn't great though.

 

[More_Badass]

The first one was an aggressively mediocre modern adventure flick but also the best attempt at a game adaptation yet

 

[Soapbox Killer]

The title breaks me.

 

[leng jai]

First one was more than fine, Vikander is a solid Lara.

Mortal Kombat though

And Street Fighter if animation is allowed

 

[janusff]

The movie industry has practically changed over night and I bet execs are thinking twice dumping millions into big production pictures

 

[Mett]

I liked the first one, wouldn't mind seeing more as they had set it up to continue. But with COVID its kinda hard to get anything going these days and for good reason.

Very ironic how the best movie about a videogame lacks what made the videogame notorious in the first place, in this case the over the top violence.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

I guess they saw Rebecca

 

[night814]

Double secret delayed

 

[PinkCrayon]

The first one was junk, I have no idea why they greenlit a sequel

 

[spookyduzt]

oh no.

anyway

 

[AWestCoastDirtyBird]

Surprised Vikander hasn't done a big blockbuster franchise yet outside of this first film if even though I wouldn't call it "blockbuster"

She's one of the most underrated actresses around.

 

[Deleted member 17388]

Lots of this kind of production are going to disappear now, I think.

Either full blockbusters if the studio wants to gamble for a theatrical release, and quickly VOD, or Netflix-like budgeted movies that could attract subs to a streaming service.

A new Tomb Raider film based on the second videogame series reboot would do poorly on both fronts. Not enough brand to become a worldwide mainstream hit (And no big talent involved), nor enough recognizability to attract a sizeable audience to subscribe.

 

[Deleted member 864]

First one was alright and better than I expected, so this is a little disappointing for me but at the same time not too surprising.

This won't be the first movie to suffer from this fate.

 

[Finaika]

Loved the first movie. Vikander was great as Croft. Will be a shame if this gets scrapped.

THISSS

 

[Nano-Nandy]

It makes sense.
Filming was supposed to be done already but was pushed to 2021 because of the pandemic.

But the March 2021 was still there; which didn't made any sense...until now.

 

[Nida]

This is all The Meg 2's fault!

I hate that he's directing that. Ugh.

 

[Kaswa101]

I actually kinda liked the first one lol. Would've watched this :/

 

[Grips]

There was a first one? That isn't Angelina Jolie's?

 

[Garrison]

Yeah a global pandemic and movie industry that is not doing well with me releases will do that.

 

[Linus815]

first one was legit enjoyable and this is really disappointing
