Tomb Raider: The Art and Making of the Film

Description

Embargoed to 15th March 2018 This official companion book takes an in-depth look at the artwork and design of this extraordinary film. Tomb Raider, The Art and Making of the Film goes behind the scenes and reveals how this epic production was brought to the screen. Featuring incredible concept art and on-set photography, this deluxe book is a rare treat for fans as key cast and crew tell the story of how Tomb Raider was revived and was given a whole new lease of life. 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. 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. 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.

A fan of all things fantasy, horror and sci-fi, Sharon Gosling is a UK-based writer of both non-fiction and fiction, as well as working as a pop-culture magazine editor and audio drama producer.
