美国圣莫尼卡——通过抢先出击，GK电影公司获得了古墓丽影的电影拍摄权，将重启这一个成功的动作冒险电影系列，目标是在2013年推出重启后的第一部电影。
由Graham King和Tim Headington出品，电影将讲述新的冒险旅程并带给我们年轻富有活力的劳拉克劳馥。
GK电影公司从互动娱乐公司史克威尔手里获得了拍摄电影的权利。2010年12月，史克威尔的附属公司晶体动力发布了一部新游戏。
“我们很高兴能重启这个曾经辉煌的电影系列，继续‘古墓丽影现象’“，King说道。
古墓丽影系列的第一部游戏于1996年由一所伦敦的公司Eidos发布，随后它成为了那个时代最成功的游戏之一。如今Eidos（包括晶体动力）都已是一家国际互动娱乐公司史克威尔的一部分，古墓丽影系列也随之进入了一个新的篇章。
古墓丽影成为了一个流行文化现象，第一部游戏已在全球售出了超过35000000份，而劳拉克劳馥也成为了游戏史上与马里奥兄弟一样最家喻户晓的游戏人物。
Paramount Pictures公司在2001年和2003年分别拍摄了以勇敢的考古学家（此处指劳拉）的冒险故事为蓝本的两部电影，由安吉丽娜朱莉主演，电影在全球范围内收获了43200000美元的总票房。
GK电影公司的副总裁Grey Rembert将负责这个项目。
