GK Films announced today that it's acquired the movie rights to the Tomb Raider game franchise from Square Enix.
Producer Graham King and Tom Headington will reboot the film series, with a new Lara Croft adventure slated to hit the screen by 2013. "We are very excited to be rebooting what is already a hugely successful film franchise and continuing the Tomb Raider phenomenon," King said in a press release.
The previous two Tomb Raider films, starring Angelina Jolie as the busty, British treasure hunter Lara Croft and released by Paramount, grossed over $430 million at the global box office.
GK Films has produced The Town, Rango and The Tourist, which starred Jolie.
Crystal Dynamics revealed last December that they're making a new Tomb Raider game that will focus on the origins of Lara Croft.
