WB has released the new official trailer for the upcoming video-game-based action film reboot "Tomb Raider," starring Oscar-winning Swedish actress Alicia Vikander (The Danish Girl, Ex Machina) as the iconic adventure-seeking heroine, Lara Croft.

Helmed by Norwegian genre director Roar Uthaug (The Wave, Escape, Cold Prey), the film also features American-born Hong Kong action star Daniel Wu (TV's Into the Badlands), Oscar-nominated English actress Kristin Scott Thomas (The English Patient), with Walton Goggins (TV's Sons of Anarchy) as the main baddie Mathias Vogel, and Dominic West (HBO's The Wire) as Lara's long-presumed-dead archaeologist father Lord Richard Croft.

The film, which is a prequel reboot of the action film franchise that formerly starred Angelina Jolie, is telling Lara Croft's first ever globe-trotting voyage in which she attempts to uncover ancient clues that involved her dead father's final expedition.

"Tomb Raider" is arriving in theaters March 16th.

synopsis:
Lara Croft is the fiercely independent daughter of an eccentric adventurer who vanished when she was scarcely a teen. Now a young woman of 21 without any real focus or purpose, Lara navigates the chaotic streets of trendy East London as a bike courier, barely making the rent, and takes college courses, rarely making it to class. Determined to forge her own path, she refuses to take the reins of her father's global empire just as staunchly as she rejects the idea that he's truly gone. Advised to face the facts and move forward after seven years without him, even Lara can't understand what drives her to finally solve the puzzle of his mysterious death. Going explicitly against his final wishes, she leaves everything she knows behind in search of her dad's last-known destination: a fabled tomb on a mythical island that might be somewhere off the coast of Japan. But her mission will not be an easy one; just reaching the island will be extremely treacherous. Suddenly, the stakes couldn't be higher for Lara, who--against the odds and armed with only her sharp mind, blind faith and inherently stubborn spirit--must learn to push herself beyond her limits as she journeys into the unknown. If she survives this perilous adventure, it could be the making of her, earning her the name tomb raider.
