Tomb Raider Reboot Script Leaked


Leaks happen, like, a lot, but scripts are actually the rarest kind of leaks in the gaming industry, in my opinion at least. Obtained by Siliconera, we take a little gander at the friendship of Lara Croft and her mentor Conrad Roth, a treasure hunter. As we learn just a little about them, an event unfolds as Roth gets attacked by a pack of wolves and you, as Lara Croft obviously, takes medical care of him in what is a cutscene or an in-game event that happens while you're playing.

INT. LARA’S CABIN – TWILIGHT
We’re watching a video log; Lara is seen leaning into the camera as she draws her hand back from the record button and sits down on the side of her bunk.
LARA
(Bored) September second. Three weeks out, zero finds, twenty fish suppers, fifty instances of Roth fantasising about a pint of Bitter and a ninety-nine percent chance that I’ll hurl myself off this boat out of sheer boredom.Still, at least I’ve convinced him that the only thing standing between him and his ale is the Dragon’s Triangle.
Lara shifts her weight.
LARA
(Dismissive) There’s the usual folklore rubbish about the place – spinning compasses, cursed ships – but that’s a load of nonsense and Roth knows it.
Lara leans into the camera a little.
LARA
(Growing excitement) We’re close to something, I can feel it. Something extraordinary. And that’s what it’s about after all, isn’t it? Anything less and it’s just a hobby.
EXT. VILLAGE – NIGHT
Lara is approaching the village when from a nearby distance she hears wolves BARKING and SNARLING. GUNSHOTS follow, and then the sound of Roth crying out in pain:
ROTH (O.C.)
Gah!
Lara rushes toward the source of the sounds. From across an ancient, weathered bridge that spans the distance to a plateau atop a rock spire, she can see now a battle between Roth and a pack of wolves.
LARA
(To self – relieved) It’s Roth (Calls out) Roth, I’m coming!
Roth unleashes a battle cry in response.
ROTH
Rrrrrah!
She rushes across the bridge, we cut to Roth, who sits on the ground with his back to the wall of a ruined structure. He clutches an emptied automatic pistol in each hand. A couple dead wolves lie nearby, amid a scatter of spent shell casings. Roth’s eyes are closed, his teeth are clenches, but he’s obviously still alive. One of his legs is bleeding from a serious wound. Lara runs into frame and crouches down beside him.
LARA
(Relieved) Oh thank God you’re alive.
Roth pries open one eye, smiles and gestures to draw attention to his gun.
ROTH
(Pained) God had nothing to do with it. (Smiling weakly) It’s good to see you too, girl.
Lara touches Roth’s wound and they both wince.
LARA
(Wincing) Sorry…they did a real number on your leg…
She looks around for something to use as a tourniquet. We focus on Roth and can hear Lara tearing off some material – maybe from Roth’s clothes or hers.
ROTH
(Pained Dismissive) Nah, it looks worse than it is.
Lara starts to bind Roth’s leg.
LARA
Have you heard from any of the others?
ROTH
(Pained) Nothing.
We pull back. Lara’s tied a tourniquet around Roth’s leg. Roth reaches up a hand to be helped to his feet.
LARA
(Shocked) What are you doing?
ROTH
Those scavengers took my food pack. The transmitter from the lifeboat’s in it. If we don’t get it back we’re not getting off this bloody island.
Lara gestures to Roth’s leg
LARA
(Worried) You need bandages, antiseptic… morphine…
ROTH
Also in the pack…
LARA
(Despondent) Shit.
ROTH
(Pained) In a word.
Roth Holds out his hand again. Lara helps him up and he puts his arm over her shoulder. He staggers and blacks out, Lara almost overbalances as his body slumps to the ground.
LARA
(Rising panic) Roth!
She lies him down and shakes his face.
LARA
(Rising panic) Oh don’t do this to me you Yorkshire bastard.
She checks his pulse.
LARA
(Semi-relieved) At least he’s still alive.
Lara stands up, takes a few deep breaths, She looks around the clearing before squatting down to examine the earth. Lara’s eyes follow the wolf tracks leading off in one direction and she stands back up.
LARA
(Slight panic) Oh God, what am I doing?

EXT. VILLAGE – NIGHT
Lara returns to Roth and finds him still lying unconscious next to the campfire.
Lara drops the transmitter and the medkit next to Roth and starts to work
