Until now, all we knew about the Tomb Raider movie is that it's set to star Alicia Vikander as Lara and Walton Goggins as the bad guy. Now, thanks to Goggins we know a tiny little bit more.
Goggins posted this image to his Instagram last week:
Thing is, if you play around with brightness and contrast, and a few other filters, you can just about make out the first page that's showing through.

xxxxxx who strike xxxxx
The film seems to start with a fight then, with the mention of 'grapple' and, potentially, head kicks suggesting something MMA shaped rather then boxing.
From the words I can pick out it sounds like Lara is sparring but initially getting whupped while her trainer looks at his phone. She berates him, takes a beating and then falls to the mat before getting up and destroying her opponents.
I'm extrapolating a bit here but it fits what words are visible, and the tempo of an average opening scene - Lara makes a strong, heroic appearance, faces defeat and then fights back. Loud music plays, titles roll... It's a good clear way of setting up the character.
If you can pick out any other words let me know and I'll update the 'script'.
