FILM 2243: TOMB RAIDER (2018)

TRIVIA: Alicia Vikander put on a lot of muscle to play Lara, as she wanted the character to be as realistic as possible and also did some of her own stunts.

The plot is loosely based on the 2013 reboot of the video game series, Tomb Raider(2013). It also shares some minor elements of Crystal Dynamics' sequel game, Rise of the Tomb Raider (2015).

Currently the highest rated video game adaptation on Rotten Tomatoes.

Markus Lygdbeck trained Alicia Vikander for the role of Lara Croft, who also happened to train fellow Swedish actor Alexander Skarsgård for the role of Tarzan.

Alicia Vikander said that it only took three weeks after filming ended to lose all the muscle mass she'd gained for the role.
