The storyline provided by IMDb[5] even suggests an movie adaptation of the first reboot game, but this, too, is probably just speculation.

Lara Croft sets out on her first expedition to finish her father's archaeological research and uncover ancient secrets in order to clear his disgraced name. Tragedy hits when her adventure turns into a fight for survival.
