With the success of the recently released new chapter in the video game series, the reboot announcement come as no surprise.
On the people behind the scenes of the Tomb Raider reboot:
Graham King is developing the film and will produce through his GK Films banner. King picked up the rights after Paramount let them expire and took the project to MGM.

In late 2007, Noxon served as head writer during the first season of Private Practice, after which she left to “[move] on to other projects”.
