Tomb Raider<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0<\/em>is one of video games’ most iconic franchises, in part thanks to its numerous sequels and big budget film adaptations.\u00a0In a recent interview,\u00a0Ben Wheatley, director of the 2018\u00a0Tomb Raider<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>reboot’s\u00a0forthcoming sequel, revealed an interesting and pragmatic approach to\u00a0designing movie\u00a0sets.<\/p>\n

The 2018 film starring Alicia Vikander as Lara Croft is a reboot of the 2000’s Tomb Raider<\/em> film franchise featuring\u00a0Angelina Jolie,\u00a0more based on the 2013\u00a0video game that revived the long-running franchise.\u00a0The game features an explosive blend of action, globe-trotting, and exploration, so it is fitting that Wheatley would turn to another creative, exploration-themed game as a tool for prototyping sets: Minecraft<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Speaking with Polygon, Wheatley revealed that he designed the sets for his 2016 film,\u00a0Free Fire \u2014\u00a0<\/em>which he likened to a game of\u00a0Counter Strike \u2014\u00a0<\/em>in\u00a0Minecraft.<\/em>\u00a0Set design is one of countless\u00a0innovative uses for the Minecraft<\/em>‘s creative mode, which has allowed players to recreate famous fictional locales, build functional computers, and enabled students to explore ancient Roman cities<\/a>. Wheatley explained that\u00a0the game was “the most user friendly” tool for rapidly building 3D environments.<\/p>\n

Building realistic, 3D renders of sets before constructing them is a common practice in\u00a0Hollywood, but the\u00a0effort and costs of developing such models in professional programs are decidedly non-trivial. Wheatley was able to not only build the set in Minecraft<\/em>, but recreate his model set with cardboard boxes in a warehouse. This blocky, out-of-the-box thinking could be a huge boon to any filmmaker looking to cut costs.\u00a0Amateur filmmakers looking for a way to build compelling sets may be interested in\u00a0acquainting themselves with\u00a0Minecraft<\/em><\/a> to imitate Wheatley’s approach.<\/p>\n

While Vikander has signed on Wheatley’s\u00a0Tomb Raider<\/em> sequel<\/a>, the COVID-19 pandemic has complicated the production process significantly. Even though\u00a0Roar Uthaug’s\u00a02018\u00a0Tomb Raider <\/em>film failed to achieve the success of recent video game adaptations such as\u00a0Sonic the Hedgehog<\/em> and\u00a0Detective Pikachu<\/em>, Wheatley is a gamer and fan of the franchise who said he is invested in the project’s success.<\/p>\n

The stars may be aligning to that effect as well. Hollywood is ripe for another heroine in the vein of Wonder Woman and Captain Marvel, and as a character, Lara Croft\u00a0has matured far beyond her early roots\u00a0as a\u00a0sex-symbol and face of a number of bizarre commercials in the late 90s<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Wheatley did not mention whether he would be using Minecraft<\/em>‘s creative mode to model sets for\u00a0his\u00a0Tomb Raider<\/strong>\u00a0<\/em>film, though given the series’ focus on remote ruins and perilous natural environments, it seems like a perfect fit for the practice. Paired with influences from the two most recent games in the rebooted franchise<\/a>, Wheatley’s sequel could shape up to be a fun ride.<\/p>\n
