The new trailer sets the tone, with Lara Croft calling for help, before making her way past treacherous jungle obstacles and taking a tumble attempting to scale what looks like part of some wreckage.
“Mayday mayday this is Lara croft of the Endurance,” Croft is heard radioing for help. “We are stranded on an island in the Dragon’s Triangle , we need help medical supplies please respond.”
