They did lol, new management came in like January 2018.



This was obviously your poster. Tut tut that poster alone would have sold more tickets.

Even with the messed up neck I liked the teaser poster however they obviously got scared and had the most generic main poster ever.

Again it's not an official but for the official one it's the position of Lara on it who is the problem.

Look at the original picture they used as a base

Amazing. What were they thinking? They should have released these.

^if I saw that poster alongside the two official ones (the one with the photoshopped neck and the main one) I would say that the fan made one was the official one and those other two were fake!

I bought the steel book because it featured the only poster I liked...

I think it is clear that picture was an iteration of the first poster, but with the bow instead of the axe.

And it is also clear they chose poorly.

Not trying to stir trouble but things like this is the reason why Vikander probably wont sport dual pistols in the sequel.

https://variety.com/2019/film/news/t...gs-1203296486/ And this is an R-rated film!

If things were different in the USA and they get a hold on the craziness or they released the film everywhere but the USA it would be different (Or maybe if it gets a Netflix USA quiet release) and you probably could get dual wielding Vikander as Lara.

This is beyond a creative issue, I just don’t think WB would take the risk of financing a 100M film that needs another $80M in P&A if it potentially can’t release the film stateside so don’t come at me, it’s just how the film business work. It doesn’t have the support that the video game industry has but even that is coming under fire from Trump blaming Gun violence on video games.

I don’t mind. It would make the ending to the first film a little bizarre, but if they’re adapting Rise/Shadow, then already I’m fine with them not including the duals again.
