The marketing people for the Tomb Raider reboot's hype campaign have started to get things rolling, but already the wheel has started to wobble a bit.

What that terrible metaphor is referring to is the poster that was uploaded online today (September 18) alongside the teaser for the trailer which will be released tomorrow.

As you can see, Alicia Vikander's neck looks.... weird.

As you'd expect, such a Photoshop faux pas wasn't going to go un-ridiculed by the people of Twitter.

Yes, you're going to see the poster a lot in these tweets, but no matter how much you see it, it never stops being weird.

The new reboot looks similar to the 2013 video game, which also served as a refreshed origin story for the character.

This Lara Croft isn't a veteran adventurer, but someone who is forced to learn the survival and tomb raiding skills she needs to unravel the mysteries of her father's past (it's always the father, isn't it?)

Lara actress Alicia Vikander recently told Digital Spy that her version is a fresh spin on a beloved character, who was previously portrayed on screen by Angelina Jolie.
