Umberto Gonzalez of Heroic Hollywood says he received a tip claiming the event film is the upcoming Tomb Raider reboot movie. It’s noted that the film will likely be called The Tomb Raider and that Warner Bros. recently registered the domain name www.thetombraidermovie.com. It was also mentioned that the producers have a script that they like and they’re hoping to schedule Daisy Ridley for a shoot this fall.

It was rumored for months that the studio was considering Daisy Ridley for the role of Lara Croft and Ridley recently confirmed that she’s had talks about possible playing the video game heroine.

“I’m waiting for someone to say ‘I want you, let’s do it’,” Ridley told THR at the Empire Awards next month.

Daisy Ridley did also confirm while speaking to THR that the shoot that was discussed for the Tomb Raider film would fit her schedule. If this report is true about the 2017 release date, expect a casting announcement sooner than later.

Daisy spoke to The Hollywood Reporter at the Empire Awards in London and she said that there “have been conversations” about her stepping into the role.

“I’m waiting for someone to say ‘I want you, let’s do it’,” Ridley said. She also added that at this point in time the movie doesn’t have a script yet.

The “Tomb Raider” video game franchise was successfully rebooted a few years ago and now Hollywood is trying to do the same thing with the film franchise. But before the ball gets rolling, someone is going to have to step up and play Lara Croft. Daisy Ridley’s “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” co-star John Boyega thinks that she’s the perfect choice to carry the torch.

“I texted Daisy [and] was like, ‘this is you!’ and ‘you need to get on that because you could be Lara Croft.’ She should be.” Boyega told THR.

Well, it’s hard to disagree with him. Ridley did wonders with the role of Rey in “The Force Awakens” and casting her in the role would definitely create a buzz around the film. Taking on another potential franchise would certainly be a challenge, but Daisy is definitely up for it as she told THR that she’s hoping to fill up her schedule.
