After more than five years in development, the Tomb Raider reboot has unearthed a director.

Roar Uthaug, the director behind the Norwegian disaster drama The Wave, will direct MGM and Warner Bros.’s feature project that seeks to re-launch a franchise featuring archeologist Lara Croft.

At the same time, Geneva Robertson-Dworet, who penned the Black List script Hibernation and is co-writer on Transformers 5, is in negotiations to write the screenplay.
